Progressive people of faith: The Nuns of Philadelphia

[Bretton Garcia]

81. Teaching people to turn away from Reason, makes them stupid and poor

The Church, 1) in stressing Faith, 2) de-emphasizes and in many ways even attacks Reason. 3) This cripples the intellectual capacity of many believers. Who, 4) once they cannot reason, cannot do complex work, or get good jobs.

Or related to that, 5) they cannot get a good paycheck. Which 6) means? They stay poor, or even get poorer than they were before.

So ultimately, the religious stress on Faith, actually ends up perpetuating - and even creating - far more poverty than it fixes.

Ironically, the very persons who presented themselves as our saviors, our religious leaders, were actually extremely foolish and even evil men.
