Marketing Salvation to the World’s Have Nots

Radical American Religious Fundamentalists have become the new terrorists who defame freedom and democracy and subvert the Biblical message into an economic equation where God becomes their symbolic founder & CEO in the global economy as well as the Saviour of their anointed few.

Then a newly packaged Son of the Father receives a radical makeover and His former messages on social justice are exorcised permanently. Selling the makeover means that His new message is aligned to the profitable acceptance of pragmatic material comfort for the Have Nots, who never received what they had been promised from the traditional democratic model.

 Given this new global mission the leadership recruits an army of loyal, like-minded zealots, who will commit their lives willingly to their sacred CEO’s recently reorganized earthly leadership. Profitable missions working aggressively to make governments their blessed, spiritual economic partners.

Then a new globally, marketed Religious Fundamentalism is ready to sell its services worldwide.

First these zealous messengers demand sacred approval from the Have Nots and aggressively gather guaranteed votes for pre-chosen political partners. They do not relieve pain but educate the Have Nots by promising to provide financial relief and a heavenly place in the afterlife. Meanwhile they continue to collect pledged donations (tax free) in exchange for a sacred stone from an Israeli building site, a sachet of miracle holy water or relief from material loss. It’s a miracle.

 Amen is not enough however, because the zealots need more donations to sustain their palatial houses of worship and to support their missionary zeal by always seeking out more and more Have Nots worldwide. Meanwhile a continued belief that they will choose more Have Nots to join them in Heaven for a few dollars more makes for a profitable venture with future, global possibilities.

A business miracle in the making! Born again and counting with President Donald Trump in the White House. Allelujah!

Subjects are subject to hierarchical authority & Citizens are answerable to a national Constitution.

 Is there any difference?

Fealty to a Lord/Leader means Obligation & Acceptance of his political or hereditary Power

Loyalty to the State means receiving Citizenship Rights along with their attendant Responsibilities.

Finally, Divine Authority means accepting the Creator’s unquestioned Power over all of us. (MJW)
