••• The new religion of America is not Christianity. It's money. MONEY IS GOD. Vote Republican. •••
Just remember. If you vote Republican all your money will be taken away and given to rich people.

Then it will all trickle down on you.

You'll get TRICKLED ON.

If you let the GOP cut taxes on the rich, someday you'll be rich too.

You wanna know how to create wealth?

Simple.

Don't bother creating anything, not with your hands, not with your intellect.

Instead, just take some toxic waste and BOOSH!

Dump it in the woods.

Instantly, you'll become rich.

Magically.

That's how it's DONE.

And repeat after me:

MONEY IS GOD.
MONEY IS GOD.
MONEY IS GOD.
MONEY IS GOD.
MONEY IS GOD.
MONEY IS GOD.
MONEY IS GOD.
MONEY IS GOD.
MONEY IS GOD.
MONEY IS GOD.
MONEY IS GOD.
MONEY IS GOD.
MONEY IS GOD.
MONEY IS GOD.
MONEY IS GOD.
MONEY IS GOD.
MONEY IS GOD.
MONEY IS GOD.
MONEY IS GOD.
MONEY IS GOD.
MONEY IS GOD.
MONEY IS GOD.
MONEY IS GOD.


Vote Republican.

10. "Mammonism" is the term we should use to drive a wedge between Christian and Economic conservatives
Epistle of St. James,
CHAPTER 2


Respect for the Poor

1 My brothers, do not let class distinction enter into your faith in Jesus Christ, our glorified Lord. 2 Now suppose a man comes into your synagogue, well-dressed and with a gold ring on, and at the same time a poor man comes in, in shabby clothes, 3and you take notice of the well-dressed man, and say, 'Come this way to the best seats'; then you tell the poor man, 'Stand over there' or 'You can sit on the floor by my foot-rest.' 4 In making this distinction among yourselves have you not used a corrupt standard? 5 Listen, my dear brothers: it was those who were poor according to the world that God chose, to be rich in faith and to be the heirs to the kingdom which he promised to those who love him. 6 You, on the other hand, have dishonoured the poor. Is it not the rich who lord it over you? 7 Are not they the ones who drag you into court, who insult the honourable name which has been pronounced over you?


CHAPTER 5

Warning to the Rich

1 Well now, you rich! Lament, weep for the miseries that are coming to you. 2 Your wealth is rotting, your clothes are all moth-eaten. 3 All your gold and your silver are corroding away, and the same corrosion will be a witness against you and eat into your body. It is like a fire which you have stored up for the final days. 4 Can you hear crying out against you the wages which you kept back from the labourers mowing your fields? The cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord Sabaoth. 5 On earth you have had a life of comfort and luxury; in the time of slaughter you went on eating to your heart's content. 6 It was you who condemned the upright and killed them; they offered you no resistance.

2. Money --

Now you can measure your manhood by it
You can get your children to try it
You can bring your enemies to their knees
With the possible exception of the North Vietnamese...

8. they wouldn't recognize the irony
if it hit them over the head with a 2x4...


They prayed before a statue of a golden bull on Wall Street.




We are going to intercede at the site of the statue of the bull on Wall Street to ask God to begin a shift from the bull and bear markets to what we feel will be the 'Lion's Market,' or God's control over the economic systems. While we do not have the full revelation of all this will entail, we do know that without intercession, economies will crumble.


"And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:

"They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto....

"Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them...."

11. it's actually "the love of money"- and I have to agree,
many, many people have made the accumulation of money into their god- Sadly.

Is it really possible to be a capitalist society and not make money into the ultimate idol?

"self made men" and "individualism" at war with the concept of our interconnectedness and the need and value of community?

Thought provoking topic.

thanks :hi:
