Nothing like " kicking against the pricks " IMO.
A " Biblical" reference admittedly and goes back to the " Temple " where gold was traded in the main hall?
"Jesus Wept". The shortest sentence in the " New Testament ".
The old testament - well " an eye for an eye " comes to mind .
Similar to ISIS unfortunately .
Gold and incense was offered to the baby Jesus from the " Wise men from the East ".
Seems lessons are never really learned ?
Cheers
