GREED is America's religion... we will sacrifice many on Mammon's altar in order to garner its favor...
Without conscience, without hesitation or reservation, if some can make more profit on the backs of others, we see nothing wrong with it, because our religion (laissez-faire - limitless Capitalism) helps us serve our god - Mammon.
While giving lip service to Jesus, praising His name and giving Him our tithes to prime that cosmic pump for our selves (what we have reduced Jesus to), we give our devotion to the acquisition of more - always more, with no limits.
The nature of GREED, is that no matter how much we already have, we will want more because more is out there.
Jesus warned us about all manner of greed.
Jesus warned that we cannot serve both God and mammon (wealth).
Jesus warned us not to be rich fools and accumulate more while ignoring others around us.
Jesus warned us not to be those who step over the poor and sick among us.
Jesus taught us about His judgment, and how it is dependent upon how we have treated the hungry, thirsty, naked, stranger, sick and imprisoned (how we treat Him in it).
Jesus warned that it is HARD for the rich to enter the Kingdom.
Jesus made Agape Love (active commitment on behalf of the OTHER - God, neighbor) His command.
Greed's nature is all about serving SELF and NOT OTHER, either God or neighbor.
It is time to give up this duplicitous existence. Choose this day whom you will serve.
As for me and my house, we will serve THE LORD.
