This is for everyone and anyone who believes in Heaven… but reflexively and vehemently defends capitalism: Do you think there’s money in Heaven?
For example, does anyone in Heaven have to start a GoFundMe so they can pay off medical bills and avoid eviction and homelessness?
Is that part of paradise?
What about rent, debt, inflation, competition, division of labor, banking, wages, wage slavery, loans, garnishment, private property, insurance, profit, goods and services, consumers, bankruptcy, boom and bust cycles, corporations, economic instability, hedge funds, 9-to-5, interest rates, taxation, and tax shelters?
How about financial advisors, credit scores, price gouging, leases, mortgages, two-hour commutes, monopolies, assembly lines, unemployment, inhumane treatment of workers, disappearing pensions, assets, deceitful advertising, wealth and power disparities, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the World Economic Forum, and the Federal Reserve?
Does your vision of Heaven include resource extraction, destruction of natural habitats, pollution, toxins, poverty, coerced compromises, surrendering of dreams, and being forced to “earn a living”?
In closing: What have you placed on your altar ahead of God?

This is spectacular. I'd never considered Heaven in this way, but you've just listed 80% of my mental clutter. If that's gone I will be in Heaven, LOL!
It can be hard to fathom another way...
"If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world" -from The Hobbit.
I like that thought, but I like the thought of Heaven, which promises us so MUCH more. It's hard to imagine that God promises us what we cannot see or hear yet.
In the meantime, we do our best to get out of our own way.
Mickey, thank you for the inspiring start to the day.
