An Economy Based On Sin

So the Christians have been in charge for a long time-and now we have based our entire economy on sin. We are waiting for lots of people to make more money so that they can buy more cars, buy more clothes, buy more expensive electronics, eat more, drink more-when commerce picks up-so does the economy. But our commerce-the most lucrative parts of our economy-are all based on sin. The sins are lust, greed, sloth, gluttony, envy, pride, wrath-basically all the things that make our great country profit.

If we all had a transformation and healing and started eating healthy-both portions and quality, not smoking, drinking mostly water, drinking a reasonable amount of alcohol, saving our money, engaging in consensual and healthy sexual relationships, saving our money, not polluting our environment, focusing on creativity and love instead of greed-well literally the entire world economy would collapse. We would still consume- we are human after all-but on a much different scale. Millions of people would be out of work.

So-the Christians preach a good life but still as a society have created an economy that only thrives if the 7 sins are alive and well.

BTW-before you get all upset-I’m not against Christians-I’m married to one in fact. I just think that it’s ironic and something to note. Just as with disease one can choose to over medicate but continue bad habits or change lifestyle and priorities and heal-so we can choose with our society and world.

As a singular Goddess trying to thrive-I do not know how to make this happen-only that the more we focus on true health, joy, passion, bliss, self reliance, love, learning, expression – maybe we can influence the world. I love Kuan Yin-the goddess of compassion, empathy and rebellion-I will pray to her for today!

-Blessed Be!
