Musings on faith, society and whatever else gets me going from one of a tradition of turbulent clerics.

A creed for the Church of the Free market

I believe in Greed, the Market Almighty,
the creator of Money,
and in the Profiteer,
His only Son our Lord:

Who was conceived of the Capitalist,
born of the free market economy,
suffered under His own pompous piracy,
crucified himself, died and was buried.

We descended into Recession.

The third day he rose again from the dead.

He ascended into profit
and sits at the right hand of Greed the Market Almighty,
whence he shall come to fleece the living and the dead.
I believe in the holy catholic bank, the communion
of bankers, the covering of their sins, the resurrection
of the economy, and riches everlasting.



This may seem frivolous but it is the frivolity that is today destroying lives. It is the voice of an ideology that is sheer heresy!


HAT TIP: Conscientisation
