Why do we have to wait until he dies
Hierarchy!
Man, don’t you know? The law ain’t made to help earthy cats like us. Here on our planet, back in the old days - back in the real old days - it was just every man for himself, scrooblin’ and scrat-scroblin’ for the good stuff, the greenest valleys. And the strongest, meanest men got the best stuff. They got the green valleys and were like ‘The rest of you, y’all scrats get sand.’ And that’s when they made the laws, you see? Once the strong guys got it how they liked it, they said ‘This is fair now, this is the law.’ Once they were winning, they changed the rules up

And will netflix run with the idea because I’d like to watch
I dunno, is that long enough?
Edit: Only 3.865 million years
No, because he’ll still need to pay rent, utilities, and taxes. He’ll be lucky if he pays off that debt before the heat death of the universe.
He should have to pay rent the whole time too.
And taxes.
Not just taxes on what he makes in hell, but also the taxes he was supposed to pay while alive.
I’ll add only that inflation 's a bitch, and you don’t get raises in hell.
And the debt accrues interest.
I wonder how high the rent in hell is.
Check prices by the jersey turnpike
Probably pretty cheap considering people are always dying to get in there
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.
Fun fact: Lucy is dated 3.2 million years ago.
Might as well round it up to 4 to account for inflation.
20% increase in living expenses with no salary adjustment.
One year = 8,766 hours
33.88 x 10^9 / 8,766 = 3,865,551 Years
And I bet he spends another million years complaining about how unfair it is.you can be rich like him if you work hard
Haha good one
He also has to pee on a bottle and then drink from it in a loop
Why wait till he’s dead?
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.
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.
Here’s a Religion for Breakfast video on it: https://youtu.be/sf0Fm8aVApk
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.
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.
The original word means thick string iirc. Still hard, but not quite as ludicrous

You can add in all the other stupid rich billionaires while you’re at it.
One at a time.
Homie, it’s 2025, everything runs in parallel these days…
In parallel and multiple dimensions.
Not to confuse with universes. We are now in the mirror universe.
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.
when. when he dies.
if
“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!
Old version:
You can’t imagine him happy
No, he gets Paradise, but he never has to do nothing all day + never use his hands.
His value or worth is far more than what he ‘has’. 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.
