Phat writes:
Why should you get to sit around in a warm house while I shiver under a bridge due to the fact that I gave up mine?
But, but, but Phat, because Jesus tells you to: In Luke (the oldest and most authoritative of the gospels) 14:33:
“…those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples.”
Only those that shivereth beneath the bridge shall gain the Kingdom of Heaven (Jesus’ words, not mine)!
