"The injunction of Jesus to love others as ourselves is an endorsement of self-interest," Goldman’s Griffiths said Oct. 20, his voice echoing around the gold-mosaic walls of St. Paul’s Cathedral, whose 365-feet-high dome towers over the City, London’s financial district. "We have to tolerate the inequality as a way to achieving greater prosperity and opportunity for all."I distinctly remember this story as part of my childhood Sunday School lessons. The story of Jesus going to the temple, hanging with the money lenders, and saying, "You guys are alright."*
Jesus wants you to give him your money** and business takes it from you any way they can and wants government to take it from you and give it to them. Business has to use a second party because they just aren't as cool as Jesus. If they were, you'd just give them your money.
* For those unfamiliar with The Bible, the story actually has Jesus smashing their tables. Matthew 21:12
** For those unfamiliar with The Bible, Jesus wants your soul and wants nothing to do with your money. Matthew 22:21***
*** For the record, this Matthew guy was a sandal wearing hippie heeb who hung out with Yeshua bin Yosef, a man executed for issuing terroristic threats against the government.
