(Geopelia) Moses was the son of a Hebrew woman. Who knows who his father was? He was brought up by Pharaoah's daughter like an Egyptian prince. Abraham came from Ur many years before. He seems to have worshipped one God. Well that's the Bible version. It's often said that the treasures of the Vatican should be sold and the money given to the poor. But Mark 14: 3 - 9 (the woman with the jar of spikenard) is referred to for the other view. And keeping those treasures together ensures that they are protected for posterity.

What's your point? (Geopelia) I suppose, that those who have had a raw deal in this world can hope for something better after death. Teach them that, and they may be more contented with their lot and not cause trouble for their superiors.
