Man Cannot Serve Both God and Money
I was at a birthday party recently.
The vast majority of people there were atheists.
Through hearsay, someone was prompted to approach me about my beliefs / view on what money is.
They were not satisfied with my explanation / my paradigm view on the subject of money ( I have an interesting view of what money really is ).
They have a degree in economics and were telling me money is work... and blah blah blah. Yet they are NOT an economist by trade or profession, but a laborer. They believed the prescribed empirical education that money is specie. Yet I went a step further.
So, to better explain my point of view, I explained to them what I believe-in behind all my logic, understanding and such: God.
I believe God is real, and the money to be FAKE.
I told them the world has been misled to put their 'faith' into money.
I said 'man cannot serve BOTH God and money.'
I said the money is today's golden calf, of which the world has been misled to 'believe' in. To go after it. To work for it. To spend their entire lives HAVING to earn / chase / look after / worry about having enough of it, BECAUSE; that is what 'gets things paid and done,' or so we've been told.
I told them I believe that one can NOT serve both God and money.
So, you could imagine their reaction.
ANGER.
And of course, I 'must' be the one whose incorrect, since most folks believe the opposite of what I just said I believed.
Well, they became very angry and frustrated while I kept my cool and even began to withdraw from the heated conversation... which only made them even angrier.
So, I sensed the hostility and the FEAR from someone who has accepted the LIE that 'there is no God' and that the system of finance, commerce and coin is 'good' and just.
Yet, I have found out that we are slaves because of that system... which I've found to be corrupt and unjust; benefiting only a select few.
I realized, once again, that people fear the unknown. They fear the idea that they can be wrong about something the majority of people accept to be true.. but now doubt due to my view, my paradigm, my faith, my belief.
Here is a quote explaining / proposing something profound:
"All the perplexities, confusion and distress in America arise, not from the defects of the Constitution or confederation, not from want of honor or virtue, so much as from the downright ignorance of the nation, of coin, credit and circulation."
-- b A.D. 1735 John Adams, 2nd President of the United States of America.
