“The Sun doesn’t demand anything in return while the Invisible Hand does. Also, we own your land now, so you now owe us property tax in money that we can loan you.”
Ever since you got us to stop worshipping the sun … things have gone to shit and the world is getting closer to ending for us all.
Before that, we were fine for tens of thousands of years. It wasn’t perfect but we didn’t make it so that the world would end because of what we believed.
Jesus is a metaphore for the Sun, its 12 constellations, death and rebirth, the heavens, its warmth & light.
Christians miss the point so bad they worship what they think is little more than a caucasian street magician (who owned guns from what I gather).
And also owned a Fortune 500 company.
Neither is debt real, but we believe in it just the same and build our society around it. There are arguments to be made for debt and monotheism to go hand in hand, especially when debt is seen as sin.
I’m starting to feel like you’re not gonna pay me back that $10.
