-Mammon means "wealth" in Aramaic.  Jesus used the term to explain the incompatibility of loving money and loving God. Sadly, most so called Conservative Christians seem to support big business and governments based on giving most of the wealth to the already wealthy and oppose such basic CHRISTIAN values such as free healthcare for all, a welfare state that gives dignity to all and most of all, love for ALL of their fellow men.

-Regardless of whatever "justification" these hypocritical individuals can find in the Bible for their worship of money and hatred, come their day of judgement, God will not judge them by their knowledge of scripture or how they twist it to fit their views. He will judge by deed and by thought and they will be cast into a lake of fire for all eternity.

-True Christians would not support big businesses or a president who claims "God speaks through me" when his warmongering and hatred tell a different story. True Christians would follow Jesus in word and deed and cast off the material to embark on a life of love and charity. So sayeth God.
