The context is talking about tax collector , the teachers of the law, scribe and pharasses regard this tax collectors as sinners and they don't near or seat with them. The tax collectors were despised by their fellow
Jews, especially the Pharisees and scribes, they all hated the tax collector. Jesus, however, set a new precedent among the Jews by accepting and associating with the tax collectors. He ate with them (Mark 2:16), showed them mercy and compassion (Luke 19:9), and he even chose a tax collector (Matthew) as one of His twelve disciples (Matthew 9:9).

So, in luke 16:9 when jesus use the phrase "I TELL YOU" He was speaking to His disciples only. "make friends yourselves by means of unrighteous mammon". He was telling them to acts the way He did, the word "make friends" here imply, WIN SOULS to God kingdom.

In part 1 of this thread, i murdered atheism as its believers couldnot defend only one out of six points raised. Here are other points in part 2 (1)Opposite of God is devil, anyone who doesnt believe God automatically believe devil 2) Atheism believers want also to win argument but not to esterblish truth and fact 3)They are unstable like water, instead to accept defeat in an argument, they will bring up another topic to cover up the former 4) No matter what you quote from the religion books that are known worldwide they will not accept but they want you to accept whatever they quote from the occultic books known by no one 5) When they cant defend belief in an argument instead to chiken out, they will result in abusive words to cover up their defeat 6)They go as far as editing, manipulating history of some events and personalities to win at all cost 7)They write lenghened essay as a response to a simple question like "why do you believe in atheism"

If you serve a living God he will surely come to your aid at the nick of time. Pray and relax for he says ' Do not be anxious about tomorrow, tomorrow will take care of itself'. I am very certain God doesn't disappoint. He won't allow his anointed ones to suffer disgrace and shame. Keep faith in him and look up to him.

Religion answers questions about man and his relationship with a Higher Being God.
Religion answers and provides frameworks for many of life's questions:
like - life after death questions
how to treat and relate with your fellow man (framework)
how spouses should treat each other (framework)
office of spouses in a marraige (framework)
Man and his relationship with his superiors (framework)
What constitutes evil
What and how to source for help during overwhelming (spiritual times)
etc

Every one has these question and every one answers them .
There's no escaping these questions. So every one has relgion.

Atheism constitutes an untypical religion because it has no external supreme higher figure that is known
as God in other religions.
It replaces this figure with the mind and science !

For what constitutes evil , questions of morality,
It draws up its own philosopy and framework - e.g if it doesnt hurt anybody do it.

And so on...
One apparent thing with all religions (including atheism) is that,
when another one is rejected, the defecter has to either subscribe to a new code of ethics
or draw up one for oneself.
We see that they are already frameworks in place , because we witness how life decisions
and actions are carried out in line wit these frameworks.

Religion is about life, one's relationship with a higher being, and so on.
Everybody is alive, everybody has to deal with these issues and so everyone has religion.
The components of any religion are definable and replaceable.
One can replace the external higher entity with mother and father (most people unknowingly do - their parents word on any issue is final. They turn to their parents for spiritual guidance even in the adult years)
it could be pastors, it could be talk show hosts (e.g oprah winfrey)
, etc.
Whosoever you seek moral and spiritual guidance from is God to you!
And that person could be Ourselves - yes! We can be our own God! -
It could be an idol - ritualists etc
