| Capitalism : The New God Trinity:
Individual Satisfaction - Father Exploitation - Son Purchasing power - Holy Spirit
10 Commandments - I will make sure I maximise my profits at the cost of everything else
- Individual satisfaction must be 100% satisified even if it means I cheat on my marriage, destroy my childrens lives and end up divorced
- Exploit whoever you can for whatever you can, its survival of the fittest
- You are what you can afford
- Love thy cheap goods even if you don’t know they came from a child sweat shop
- Thou shall not worship false Gods: socialism, communism, et al
-
Though shall be faithful and not lie with another man's wife unless our wife failed to deliver for a few days or I see someone else I want in the street round the corner, like the latest purchase from that tv store down the road I just had to have as it was 50 inches wide not 45 like the one I have already. - Individual success and power are everything crush all enemies that stand in your way.
- Avoid giving money to charity it is rescuing and people should be responsible for their own problems even if they are not self inflicted or were originally caused by our neoliberal economic and political policies.
- Lend support to wars and support dictators if there is cheap oil or cheap access to valuable resources to be gained as our country has to be the most wealthy and powerful.
New Testament Most Important of all these Commands not love thy neighbour : Love myself and everyone else can have the breadcrumbs that fall from my table
12 Disciples – Enablers, Message Delivery Systems, Promoters
- World Bank & IMF
- Companies that exploit developing nation producers with low and unfair prices
- Advertisements that promote materialism with irresponsible marketing messages
- Pride
- Greed
- Ego
- Vanity
- Banks that don’t support and help small businesses, yet provide huge overdraft facilities to big organisations who really do not need that support .
- Lenders who throw credit cards at people that they can’t afford to have or use
- Banks that wont lend to people who actually need the money and provide the financial support they are supposed to so these people turn to loan sharks and charge huge profitable fees for bounced Direct Debits and unauthorised overdrafts.
- Politicians with delusions of grandeur that want to control the world
- Judas Iscariot – Enlightened invididuals that try to inform people (whistleblowers)
The Evil One Devil - Socialism and anything resembling socialist systems
Lord’s Prayer Our Individual Satisfaction That art all over the world Hallowed be thy buy one get one free Thy autumn sales come, Thy supreme shopping experience be done On earth as it is in the stores Forgive us for missing the winter sales and we will forgive the stores for closing on Sundays Give this day our daily buying Lead us into cheating, sleeping around and not looking after our children Let us not be tempted to really care about other people Deliver us from socialism For thine be the kingdom, the power and the glory, for as long as we practice this awful economic concept Amen Note: writers note this is a criticism of capitalism in an attempt to make a few points and is no way shape or form supposed to represent the real bible and the Word of God within it.
