GODS and MONEY: God and Truth Seekers Take Note

Gods and Money is my personal, decades long wrestle with two man-made concepts of God and Money!

Whether Christianity is a story of human ingenuity or human gullibility is difficult to say because it is also a story of "hope, obedience and fear," which has served millions of people for the past two thousand years. Christianity swaps utopian promises of paradise, immortal salvation, and redemption of sins for money. As the holy prayers like a smoke of incense vainly soar up toward God in heaven, promising pies in the sky, the cash stays down building holy empires on earth! Worshiping and banking, or Gods and money have been dancing together for centuries, and both are two different sides of the same coin!

According to Adherents, there are some 4,300 religions around the world today, with the most popular Gods being Jesus, Allah, Buddha, Shiva, Yahweh etc. There are also 180 current currencies across the world, as recognized by the United Nations, with the most popular being the US. Dollar, Yuan, Euro, etc. Today, many different Gods are worshiped around the world who rule in heaven, but the money reigns and rules on earth. Euripides said long ago: "Money is the wise man's religion."

Is religion the eternal hope of humanity, or a virus in the human software? What if all of us who go to church on Sundays exercise our own imagination in a world where there are many who pray, few who profit, and no one who listens or cares?
