101. Why? Because we have a major social system devoted to slavery: Religion.
Edited on Sun May-30-10 10:10 AM by patrice
And Religion is protected against the cost of doing their business (mutual psychological masturbation) by tax exemption. They perpetuate "I have mine, because I DESERVE mine and you do not deserve what is mine." This is a system that thinks it is a Good thing for Sean Hannity to fly around in a private Lear jet making 3 to 1 for every penny he raised for Veterans. The disadvantaged are supposed to accept their lot in life, never ask questions about Economic Justice, and actually thank god for the likes of Hannity and other professional "saints".

What we have is something that is de$$$$$$igned to make you feel okay, even ecstatic, no matter who you are or what you do you have NO responsibility to change because you're already forgiven. The suffering of others and the destruction of Earth do not matter, because "Jesus loves you" and we're all headed "to a better place" anyway.

It's pure poison.
