OK so far as it goes, but you went overboard. You refuse to put the verse into context, in order to make a point that the parable didn't intend; it (Jesus) didn't say "arm yourself", he said that if a man arms himself to preserve his treasure, a stronger person or force (death for instance) will steal his treasure. The whole of chapter 11 is a sermon on charity, which is central to Christian belief; and believe it or not, generosity toward the poor is still practiced, by the rich and even by those who can barely afford it.  Joke away, but I would bet there is a vein of generosity in even you, Motley, despite your cynicism.
