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.
AMEN.
Thanks to ASBO Jesus for the creed. Thanks also to TheMe for introducing me to ASBO Jesus, ASBO Jesus' creed, and his wonderful cartoons, one of which is shown below.

ReplyDeleteDiane, that was my reaction, too. At first, I thought it was too irreverent to post, but there's truth in it, and I decided to go ahead. It's scary.
ReplyDeleteThere is a point to it ;=)

ReplyDeleteWithout capitalism, there'd be no pensions for any of you.
Göran, thanks.
ReplyDeleteFred, thank you for your testimony.
Yay market greed!
Re pensions,
ReplyDeleteIn Sweden the pensions system seems to have floundered, simply because it's been mixed up with the international (= American) monetary madness/Greed of the Chicago School.
Göran, the pension systems are taking a big hit here, too. Why do we expect that the stock market will continue to go up, up, up? That's not reasonable.
ReplyDeleteNo, it's not. But change comes slowly...
