I can't necessarily speak for 'most Christians', but to me that's one of the
things which makes it worthwhile having faith - that God will do just that.

Agreed. Rough types can get through the eye as easily as smooth ones. It is rich people who are likely to get jammed in the iris. According to Jesus, anyway.
