Quote of the day
“We work in the dark - we do what we can - we give what we have. Our doubt is our passion, and our passion is our task. The rest is the madness of art.

as i can understand your statements, you want to say that only rich people or relegious peoples as popes, mullas, and rabbists are only in need of God (Allah) to take benefits and reach the high hirarchy in this life and that is incorrect.
God is not only for them and any person in power or more rich , he or she will be more subjected to be asked for everything and if u dont know that poor people will enter paradize so quickly before rich people untill those people would be asked about their wealth and what they did with it or how they collect it and if they give to poor and many things wich i cant explain it all now
also our prophet mohamed was choosen from God ( Allah ) to be a king with all power and money or prohethood wich is much more difficult and he choose the other.
also prophet mohamed (pbuh) asked God to be in paradize with the poor people in this life and whom suffer more and he didnt pray to be with whom have power and money with no morals or just , and beleive me more money and more power needs much caution and it is not always good if u really believe in God unless u will apply his rules which is difficult as a humanbeing is greedy and wants more and more money and he collect them unlawfully in the eyes of relegion and not secular or materialistic measures.
