Angry he uses my Faith against me each and every chance he gets. The greed/Pastor comment just about brought me to my knees.
. . .
Am I greedy for asking for what is fair by law? Am I a dumbass?
My dear 13,
I know you already know the answers to those, but I'll say it anyway: "No!"
The Bible teaches us that it is the LOVE of money that is the root of all evil, not the money ITSELF. Christ warned us that we cannot "serve two masters -- God and money." So long as your attitudes about money are balanced and healthy, there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with fighting to get your fair share for you and especially your family.
In fact, the Proverbs (and elsewhere) make many mentions of how God hates "unfair measures." He is a just and loving God, and He abhors an unbalanced scale.
