Not at all. Let me quote the OP from above,

>> No seriously, where's the leeway in interpretation? I truly don't see it.

The point is I can grab any verse and sell it for whatever my narrative is. The fact is the OP wants it interpreted the way they read it. I don't see any connection forcing someone to dispose of wealth to be part of a religion.

Extreme wealth has nothing to do beliefs or your religion. What the theme here is that to be a devote X you need to follow every rule and belief to claim yourself an X. Thats nonsense and anyone who did would carry the label of religious fanatic. 99 percent of all religious people do not follow or believe 100 percent of whatever their following.

Then I guess you've never seen religion being weaponized or being used as excuss to be non-inclusive? Or is that a truly wrong interpretation?

Also when your not polorized it affords you to be a critical thinker. E.g. Understanding why people say what they say instead of just hearing what they say.

Can you shed some light of childhood in the church? Sounds like you have some experience in what your claiming.

Sounds like that can be interpreted in many different ways. Isn't this why we are here?

Not sure where your getting that Christians can't be wealthy or accumulate wealth. Theres nothing is Christen teachings that says you must give away your wealth. Historically and currently there are many Christians that have vast amounts of wealth.

I'm not sure about the elitist funding or the human grading. Please give a source on this along with the exact biblical text that contradicts his actions.

Can you exapnd on this? Especially on the specifics to what you think those actions are and how their against/anti Protestant or Catholic beliefs.

E.g. I think what your getting at is something akin to, "you can't be Catholic if you are for abortion".

I did not know this. Can you expand on it? When I was on Roku channel it looked like it was all free. I didn't watch long enough to notice if it had advertising embeded in it. If it is ad supported your telling me after distribution costs their advertising network brings in 1b+?

Ok. But I really wouldn't trust numbers coming from the same company that produces them. A better gauge would be Nielsen. Roku doesn't even show in the top 10.

Personally I've had Roku from the beginning and never once saw or watched the Roku Channel. But I did look it up now. Looks like all "D" rated films and really old media. They produce nothing and licence and syndicate everything.

Roku isn't a media company. They make hardware and license software.

For one that deal hasn't closed and secondly not sure what the connection is between Roku leaving Github and FOX. Please expand on relevance.
