Are we poor because we're christians??

I think some nations are poorer than others. That does not have anything to do with religion though, really. Although, some religions do not believe in belongings. They think you work hard and give away anything more than you need. The definition of poor is being needy, having no belongings...which are actually 2 different things. You can have no belongings but still not be needy, in other words have what you need to at least survive in life.
