You read in the bible about how Jesus threw the money changing con-artist out of the temple, and said it would be easier to put a camel through the eye of a needle than it would be for a rich man to go to heaven. There's no doubt that his behavior and language pissed off religious leaders about as much as it did the money changers.
My my how things never change, religious leaders and money changers are still on the same team.
Regardless of the views born of divine fairy tails... The money changing con-artist of today, and some religious con-artist too, understand all to well, that a vast majority of people are magical thinking political illiterates that are easily misled by myths, lies, and symbols of ideology. It's like a playground for psychopaths, but that's another story.
I marvel at the income disparity between those who own most of the wealth but produce nothing of value, and the ignorant masses who slave away their lives to produce everything of value, mostly to own very little.
But hey, money changing con-artist put "IN GOD WE TRUST" on the paper we use to exchange labor for labor, and call it money. And it's not just money, but rather, it's money that has the blessings of the church. So what could possibly be wrong with that?
How about... Honest people who labor to create wealth, have world views that do not include an understanding as to how the monetary ponzi scheme their subjected to actually works.
And by demanding that "IN GOD WE TRUST" be put on something that is printed by a group of money changing con-artist, the church helped pave the way for the biggest theft of wealth in human history.
In other words, the thieves could not have gotten away with it, without the churches demand that a seal of approval from "God" be plastered all over it.
And by looking at the dwindling value of our currency, I think the honest thing to do would be to change "IN GOD WE TRUST" to "TRUST ME YOU IDIOT".
