Easy, I'd say "They had the same opportunities as I did."

Every single one of them? Can you provide any reason to believe that?
Perhaps even more opportunities. Can you provide any reason to believe
that?
Why would *I* provide reason to believe *your* speculation? That's
your job.

The Creator you were so confidently answering in your last post.

You know something guys and gals, I will be the first to admit it...

This troll ventured in here, spawned some BS nonsense to get a rise
out of us and each and every one of us bit the bait.

Congrats to the troll for getting what they wanted.

I ask a question of particular relevance to readers of these groups,
and reply point-by-point to all responses including yours ... and
rather than respond substantively you label my original post "some BS
nonsense" and me a "troll." Nothing in the usual meaning of
"troll" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(Internet) ) fits my
behavior ... but this fits yours: "The term is often used to discredit
an opposing position, or its proponent, by argument fallacy ad
hominem."

Heh, at least it generated some activity in the group. :-)

If I believed in Hell (I don't - I find the idea of God's personal
torture chamber offensive), owning a Ferrari would be a nice way to get
there. But that's not really a 'luxury' car, is it? It's a sports car.
Oh well, a Bentley would be as nice. ;-) Truly, what sort of
'creator' is going to hold my success against me?

Though I admit to some confusion on the relationship of owning a nice
car vs. helping the unfortunate. You're not allowed to do both? Maybe
we need to define 'luxury' - is there a spending cap? And who
determines what the cutoff would be before the holier-than-thou stop
looking down their nose?

Cadillac = burn in hell
Yugo = angels sing
Mercedes = tortured for eternity
Hyundai = right hand of god

Seems a bit of a silly argument to me...

Of course you are a troll... Wiki or no Wiki.

What you did is spew your religious beliefs to a bunch of people who
simply don't agree with you. You are a troll because there is *no*
RELIGION in the group names!

Which I suspect you'll find that many do.

True and you don't even have to die for this result.

Speak for yourself. Joe Gliebe implicitly accepted my ***umptions of a
Creator and judgment in responding, "He will say [...] What will you
tell him?", and Jim Insolo asked only whether I had made choices for
which I would also be subject to the Creator's judgment.

So discussing a luxury-car sales tax hike in these groups would be
trolling because there's no politics in the group names? Your narrow
definition of what's on-topic is open to question, to say the least.

It's not your success that's in question, but your use of its fruits.
Quote:

Every dollar spent on a car is a dollar unavailable for helping the
unfortunate.

The Creator does ... look to Him and His Word for guidance.

Red herring. It's not *my* opinion you need to worry about.

It's an argument entirely of your own construction.

I thought I could squeak past the Pearly Gates by donating the Jag to
charity upon my demise. Now I find out its no longer made in England, but
in India by a bunch of Hindus!! He's really going to be mad about that. My
only hope is that the gates of the netherworld are going to be so jammed up
with TV preachers and self righteous hypocrites that they will have no
choice but to give me a golden harp. ( Or a wooden one, if the same concern
exists up there over luxury items)
