Greed: The New Religion and its Paper God!

To the Editor,

There is a new religion taking hold in America and it is every bit as evil as anything that Satan ever dreamed of. It’s fanatical, destructive, and it has the ability to consume anyone that does not give it the proper respect that it requires. This religion was born a long time ago but it recently has found the perfect womb in which to grow and possess its victims from. It is no less than a snake that slithers under and around the tables and chairs of America’s, and the worlds, corporations, banks, and financial markets. It even has its own boardroom chapels where the flocks go to pray and worship at electronic altars that flash gains and sacrifices as they plan how to foolishly manipulate this demon to fulfill their own deceitful desires. The religion is greed and it comes with a paper god that is called by many names, Money, Currency, Dollars, just to name a few.

The Holy Trinity of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost has now been replaced with the Supreme Court, energy conglomerates, and banks that are too big to fail. And this new religion is run by the new apostles and saints who are now called CEOs and the board of directors. They preach daily about profits and cost containment as they set their crosshairs on anyone that tries to stand in their way as they plan the destruction of the environment and gaining world financial domination behind the disguise of Corporate Personhood.

This religion comes complete with its own simple bible that contains only one bible verse.  What’s mine is mine. What’s ours is mine. And what’s yours will soon be mine! And the greediest pursue this with a passion and self-righteousness that blinds them as they throw their fellow countrymen to the lions while relishing their ill-gotten illegal rewards.

A day of reckoning is coming, an inquisition if you will, when the poor rise up and cast down this Satan of man’s own design. It will be our faith that will eventually crush their destructive financial gains. And until then remember what Jesus Christ said, “Give to Caesar, what belongs to Caesar. But give to God, what belongs to God.” A new day is coming, a true heaven on earth! Which side are you on?

Too Big To Fail = Monopoly!
