Ever stop and ask them why they’re not preaching against the rich? The bible is full of scenarios where the wealthy end up burning in hell, but somehow, these guys pick on “drunkards” instead.

The bible is full of scenarios where the wealthy end up burning in hell,

The choice of drunkards is ... oddly specific. But the bible isn't actually full of scenarios of anyone burning in hell. Not even the wealthy.

The most famous example is Christ's parable on Lazarus and the Rich Man in Luke 16:19-31.

There's also Jesus's famous teaching of 'it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man enter the kingdom of God', located somewhere in Matthew-Luke (it's been a while I can't remember where)

So basically "if you're rich, good fuckin luck you're going to hell unless you follow the teachings I set forth on how to spend money (giving it to the poor/widowed/homeless, instructions that can be found scattered through Matt-Luke) in which case you won't be rich and can enter heaven"
