I dunno, is that long enough?

He should have to pay rent the whole time too.

I'm all for lowering min. wage. Competition in the work force should be a thing and parasitic unions should be ended.Bezos paying min is far from the worst thing he's done. Copying a product and underselling (at a loss) to put companies out of business for example. He should have to reimburse in this life, as there is no other.

No, he can't spend all of his income paying down the debt.
He has to pay rent, medical bills, pay for his car and insurance before he can begin to repay his debt.

"If"?
I always smile when someone starts a question about death with the word "if"
It's never a question of 'if' we die or when someone dies ..... it's a question of 'when'
Death .... it's the great equalizer for all of humanity, no matter how smart, dumb, young, old, rich, poor, intelligent, stupid, educated, illiterate you are, we always end up in the same place where we started .... the deep dark eternal sleep.

Good point! Correct!

Lately I felt that the concept of hell wasn't really in my mind until I spent time on the US dominated internet.
Hell doesn't exist, I don't like it being thought of as punishment. He'll be dead when he's dead. Nothing more.

He also has to pee on a bottle and then drink from it in a loop

And taxes.

I'm not religious, but the bible clearly states that it's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich person to get into heaven.
There's debate about the "eye of the needle" being simple metaphor or whether it was an actual, but very tiny, gate to the city of Jerusalem. Regardless, the idea stands.wrote last edited by [email protected]Not a lot of debate among scholars. There's no other evidence of the "eye of the needle" being used in a way that refers to the small doorway in a larger city gate or any of the other alternative readings. Conversely, there are sewing needles dated to that time and place that are roughly the same as modern sewing needles.
The statement is exactly as radical as it looks at first glance. Rich people can't be right with God, period. All the rest is trying to invent a loophole to let rich people be Christians after Constantine made it widespread in the Roman Empire. First century Christians were almost entirely made of the poor people of the Empire, and would have had no problem at all with the statement as read. The modern reinterpretation is often argued by the exact same people who say you're not supposed to "read between the lines" of the Bible.

And don't get me started on Paul's "the love of money is the root of all evil". Just totally bastardized for the Prosperity Gospel.

I wonder how high the rent in hell is.

No, he gets Paradise, but he never has to do nothing all day + never use his hands.

Why do we have to wait until he dies

Might as well round it up to 4 to account for inflation.
20% increase in living expenses with no salary adjustment.
-
And taxes.
Not just taxes on what he makes in hell, but also the taxes he was supposed to pay while alive.

And the debt accrues interest.

The word for Aramaic word for "camel" is basically the same as for "heavy rope", which is a much more reasonable interpretation. Just as a rope is too big to fit through the eye of a needle, so is the material obsession of a rich person too big.
