Whoever loves money never has enough

(stop worshipping the false god of capitalism)

One of the most nefarious tricks of the enemy is to relentlessly convince us that worshipping wealth — more specifically, the wealthy — is a righteous act.

I’ve written about this general topic before, e.g.

We are programmed to use (accurate) phrases like “godless communism,” but where do you find God in the rapacious covetousness that sustains capitalism?

Our choices are not so limited.

We are more than capable of activating our glorious imaginations to conjure up options that heed Ecclesiastes 5:10-14:

Whoever loves money never has enough;

whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income.

This too is meaningless.

As goods increase,

so do those who consume them.

And what benefit are they to the owners

except to feast their eyes on them?

The sleep of a laborer is sweet,

whether they eat little or much,

but as for the rich, their abundance

permits them no sleep.

I have seen a grievous evil under the sun:

wealth hoarded to the harm of its owners,

or wealth lost through some misfortune,

so that when they have children

there is nothing left for them to inherit.

The Powers That Shouldn’t Be™ have temporarily succeeded in persuading us to vigorously defend systems that deny our humanity.

But all it takes to challenge such diabolical deception is to detach from the conditioning and do some contemplation (and prayer). That’s how we can begin discerning what thoughts have been implanted and what thoughts are truly our own.

This is not an idle reflection. The lives and souls of billions depend on it.
