Humans are no different.

So all we need is a few more wars to thin the population? That is where this is heading with the shortages of resources projected to happen in the coming years. Some would say it is already happening.

2 Thessalonians 3
3:7 For you know yourselves how you must imitate us, because we did not behave without discipline among you,
3:8 and we did not eat anyone’s food without paying. Instead, in toil and drudgery we worked night and day in order not to burden any of you.
3:9 It was not because we do not have that right, but to give ourselves as an example for you to imitate.
3:10 For even when we were with you, we used to give you this command: “If anyone is not willing to work, neither should he eat.”
3:11 For we hear that some among you are living an undisciplined life, not doing their own work but meddling in the work of others.
3:12 Now such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to work quietly and so provide their own food to eat.

You do realize that there's something for everyone's point of view in that book? Which version is the one you're quoting?

Then you should have no trouble finding a quote that espouses redistribution of wealth.
You're the one who brought up religion, not me.

Never mind the question you ducked. Soniclight / Constable / Farstadt comes up with a simple Google search.
Ya know, customarily you should provide attribution of copyrighted material, Was.
Bible.org might take issue with you using their interpretation of the bible unless your name happens to be Dr. Constable.

Screw customary. Let them sue me.
Tell you what, you find the version with the verse that promotes wealth redistribution, and while you're in there, you can check my quotes too. Then you can write a report, with references and cliff notes if that rubs your nub.

How about you follow the rules of the forum. No ambiguity here. In terms that even an idjit from Alaska can understand, I don't subscribe to some wackjob's revisionist rewriting of the Bible with pictures but hey, whatever gets you a stiffy or "rubs your nub" as you put it. Further reading below.

Tell you what. Start a thread in the Religion and Politics sub-forum if you want to go all bible thumpy on us. As it is, you're just crapping on this thread.

6:9 How long, you sluggard, will you lie there? When will you rise from your sleep?
6:10 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to relax,
6:11 and your poverty will come like a robber, and your need like an armed man.
10:4 The one who is lazy becomes poor, but the one who works diligently becomes wealthy.
12:10 A righteous person cares for the life of his animal, but even the most compassionate acts of the wicked are cruel.
12:11 The one who works his field will have plenty of food, but whoever chases daydreams lacks wisdom.
12:27 The lazy person does not roast his prey, but personal possessions are precious to the diligent.
13:4 The appetite of the sluggard craves but gets nothing, but the desire of the diligent will be abundantly satisfied.
13:11 Wealth gained quickly will dwindle away, but the one who gathers it little by little will become rich.
13:18 The one who neglects discipline ends up in poverty and shame, but the one who accepts reproof is honored.
18:9 The one who is slack in his work is a brother to one who destroys.
21:5 The plans of the diligent lead only to plenty, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.
21:25 What the sluggard desires will kill him, for his hands refuse to work.
26:16 The sluggard is wiser in his own estimation than seven people who respond with good sense.
26:17 Like one who grabs a wild dog by the ears, so is the person passing by who becomes furious over a quarrel not his own.
24:30 I passed by the field of a sluggard, by the vineyard of one who lacks wisdom.
24:31 I saw that thorns had grown up all over it, the ground was covered with weeds, and its stone wall was broken down.
24:32 When I saw this, I gave careful consideration to it; I received instruction from what I saw:
24:33 “A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to relax,
24:34 and your poverty will come like a bandit, and your need like an armed robber.”

Book of Armaments, Chapter 2, verses 9-21
...And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O LORD, bless this Thy hand grenade that with it Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits, in Thy mercy." And the LORD did grin and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats and large chu... [At this point, the friar is urged by Brother Maynard to "skip a bit, brother"]... And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it."
Regards,
Dave

With gene splicing, human genome project, cure for aging, biological warfare, global warming, and fundamentalist Christians it is hard to predict where this world is going.
