Economy

(a new experience of god)


Economy has replaced god. We follow a religion that promises safety in profits.
Like most religions the Economy worship has become the new way to control the masses and introduce fear into the collective subconscious. We can not see it, but it's all around us, it does not promise us a life after dead, but it threatens us with a hell that is imminent unless we obey. The Economy worship is based on our primal hunger instinct, which has mutated into an uncontrollable greed. Economy is sacred, untouchable. It's priesthood communicates its' orders directly to the kings and ministers of the world.

Following the example of previous religions the Economy worship defies common sense, the earth, the organism we are all part of, gets desecrated and destroyed in order to make as much profit as possible, so we can spend this profit on things that are produced by destroying even more of this organism in order to make more profit. This behavior can only be compared with a chain smoking cancer patient. Money is the flesh on the new Lord, oil his blood. We worship this body and sacrifice everything for it. All flesh is destined to decay, our sacrifice was for nothing.
