Finance as a Religion
The religious wars of Europe, fought in God's name, ironically killed Him, while definitively defeating and ending Christianity. Leading, in the 1600s, to the enthroning of Wealth in the Place of God and the replacing of Christianity with Financialism.
It is not the possession of wealth, nor the pursuit of wealth, that corrupts the soul of a people. It is when wealth ascends to the altar of worship, when it becomes the religion of a society, that a consumptive, enslaving, and genocidally evil regime inevitably rises—one that devours, subjugates, and annihilates all in its path.
In the Finance Religion, Wealth is the supreme, divine essence that adherents worship and strive to attain. It is the ultimate goal and the sacred force that defines value and purpose.
God is embodied by the laws governing wealth creation, particularly those tied to the lending against private property, which serve as the sacred principles guiding the generation and protection of wealth.
Money takes the role of Christ, acting as the sacred medium and "savior" that bridges the laws of wealth creation with individuals, enabling the pursuit and realization of financial prosperity for the priesthood and the Church of Finance – for the Cathedral.
Just as Christianity provides a framework for spiritual salvation through faith and obedience, the Finance Religion offers a path to "financial salvation"—achieving prosperity and freedom—through adherence to its commandments and the strict worship of money. Only allowed through adherence to the principles of Finance as determined by its high Priests (economists), Bishops (bankers) and Cardinals (financiers).
The Ten Commandments of the Finance Religion are inspired by the Christian Ten Commandments but adapted to reflect the worship of Wealth, reverence for the laws of wealth creation, and the sanctification of Money. They serve as moral and practical imperatives for adherents:
You shall have no other divine but Wealth.
Wealth is the supreme entity, and adherents must prioritize its pursuit above all other values or goals, mirroring the Christian call to worship God alone.
You shall not create false representations of wealth.
Adherents must avoid deceitful practices such as inflating asset values, hiding liabilities, or engaging in fraud, ensuring that wealth is genuine and sustainable, akin to the Christian prohibition against idolatry.
You shall not make false financial commitments.
Honesty in financial dealings is sacred; adherents must not overpromise returns, overleverage, or break contracts, reflecting the Christian command to honor God’s name through truthful oaths.
Remember to dedicate time to financial education and planning.
Regular study of wealth creation laws and strategic financial planning are acts of devotion, paralleling the Christian Sabbath as a time for reflection and worship.
Honor your financial heritage and those who have contributed to your wealth.
Respect for family legacies, mentors, and partners who have aided in wealth-building honors the tradition of wealth creation, similar to honoring parents in Christianity.
You shall not destroy others’ wealth.
Adherents must avoid predatory or exploitative practices that harm others’ financial well-being, echoing the Christian prohibition against murder but applied to economic harm.
You shall not corrupt financial systems or betray financial trusts.
Maintaining the integrity of markets and honoring financial partnerships (e.g., avoiding insider trading or market manipulation) aligns with the Christian call to fidelity, adapted to financial systems.
You shall not steal wealth or property.
Theft of wealth or property violates the sacred laws of private ownership, directly mirroring the Christian commandment against stealing.
You shall not bear false witness in financial matters.
Spreading misinformation about others’ financial status or engaging in slander that affects their wealth is forbidden, akin to the Christian ban on false testimony.
You shall not covet others’ wealth; instead, strive to create your own.
Envy is replaced with a call to innovate and generate personal wealth ethically, reflecting the Christian command against coveting but encouraging proactive financial effort.
Core Philosophy and Logic of the Finance Religion
The Finance Religion’s philosophy mirrors Christian theology, reinterpreting its key concepts—divinity, salvation, stewardship, sin, and redemption—within a financial framework. Below is the detailed mapping:
The Divine Wealth
Christian Parallel: God as the creator and sovereign.
Finance Religion: Wealth is the ultimate, divine essence that adherents revere and seek. It represents abundance, power, and the highest good, driving all actions and aspirations.
The Sacred Laws
Christian Parallel: God’s will and commandments.
Finance Religion: The laws of wealth creation, rooted in private property ownership, are sacred and immutable. These include principles of ownership, investment, and economic exchange, which adherents must study and obey to generate wealth.
Money as the Messiah
Christian Parallel: Jesus Christ as the savior and mediator.
Finance Religion: Money is the holy instrument that connects individuals to the laws of wealth creation. As Christ mediates between God and humanity, Money enables the practical realization of Wealth, serving as the medium of exchange, store of value, and tool for financial salvation.
Financial Salvation
Christian Parallel: Salvation through faith in Christ.
Finance Religion: Financial prosperity and freedom are the ultimate rewards, achieved through adherence to the commandments, ethical use of money, and mastery of wealth creation laws. This "salvation" is a state of abundant wealth and economic independence.
Stewardship
Christian Parallel: Believers as stewards of God’s creation.
Finance Religion: Adherents are stewards of their wealth, tasked with managing and growing it responsibly according to the sacred laws. Wise investment, risk management, and ethical practices are acts of devotion.
Financial Sin and Redemption
Christian Parallel: Sin as disobedience to God, with redemption through repentance.
Finance Religion: Financial sins include actions that violate the laws of wealth creation—e.g., wastefulness, fraud, or reckless spending. Redemption comes through correcting these errors, such as restitution, learning from mistakes, or adopting sound financial strategies.
Community and Ethics
Christian Parallel: Love God and love your neighbor.
Finance Religion: While individual wealth is paramount, adherents must pursue it ethically, avoiding harm to others’ wealth or the broader financial system. This reflects a form of "financial neighborliness," where ethical capitalism ensures collective prosperity through individual effort.
Additional Elements and Rituals
To deepen the religion’s structure, rituals and practices reinforce its philosophy:
Financial Worship: Regular budgeting, portfolio reviews, and investment planning are sacred acts of devotion to Wealth.
Communal Good: Investing in community projects or charitable giving mirrors Christian charity, ensuring wealth circulates ethically.
Financial Heaven: The ultimate aspiration is a state of immense wealth or financial freedom, akin to eternal life in Christianity.
The unforgivable sin in the Finance Religion is to recognize any god other than Wealth or to follow any Christ figure other than Money. This parallels the Christian idea of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, where rejecting divine grace is unforgivable. In this faith, Wealth is the supreme deity, and Money is its holy mediator—the sole path to financial salvation. To prioritize any other value, ideology, or entity above Wealth, or to seek prosperity through means other than Money (such as charity, communal living, or non-monetary pursuits), is the ultimate betrayal. This sin is unforgivable because it strikes at the heart of the religion’s foundational belief: that Wealth is the ultimate purpose of existence, and Money is the only true savior. To stray from this doctrine is to reject the religion entirely, condemning oneself to a state of eternal financial damnation.
Spiritual Implications: This sin serves as a stern warning to adherents, reinforcing absolute loyalty to Wealth and Money. It prohibits any deviation from the religion’s singular focus, ensuring that the pursuit of financial prosperity remains the central tenet of faith. Unlike Original Sin, which can be redeemed through effort and devotion, the unforgivable sin offers no path to forgiveness, as it represents a complete renunciation of the religion’s core principles.
In the Finance Religion, Original Sin is redefined as the condition of being born poor. This is not merely a lack of financial resources but a profound spiritual burden that every adherent inherits at birth. Much like the Christian notion where humanity bears the sin of Adam and Eve, here, individuals enter the world in a state of financial deficit, devoid of the sacred essence of Wealth. This inherent disadvantage marks the starting point of life as a spiritual challenge—a "sin" that signifies the absence of the means to create or possess wealth. Adherents are called to overcome this original state through unwavering devotion to the laws of wealth creation and the sanctification of Money. The pursuit of wealth becomes a sacred duty, a path to redeem the soul from its initial poverty and align with the divine will of the religion.
Spiritual Implications: Being born poor is viewed as a test of faith and resilience. Adherents must work tirelessly, educate themselves in financial principles, and amass wealth to cleanse themselves of this sin. Financial success is not just a material achievement but a form of spiritual redemption, lifting the individual from their inherent state of lack into the grace of abundance.
Together, these concepts shape the worldview of the Finance Religion’s adherents. The Original Sin of being born poor motivates a relentless drive to accumulate wealth, transforming financial success into a spiritual triumph. Meanwhile, the unforgivable sin of worshiping anything other than Wealth or Money enforces strict adherence to the religion’s doctrine, guarding against distractions or alternative paths that might dilute the sanctity of the faith. In this framework, life becomes a journey of redemption through wealth, guided by an unyielding commitment to the divine supremacy of Money.
The Finance Religion transformed Christian theology into a financial framework where Wealth is divine, the laws of wealth creation from return on investment are sacred, and Money is the messianic force enabling prosperity. Its Ten Commandments provide an ethical and practical guidance, while its core philosophy—centered on assuming debt, wealth pursuit, and financial salvation—offers a coherent belief system for adherents. This religion elevates the pursuit of wealth to a spiritual calling, blending capitalist ideals with a moral structure inspired by Christianity.
Ultimately, it’s the worship of a false God, Wealth, and his son, Money. It is an artificial status hierarchy designed to enslave humanity in every form and fashion possible to the holy (unaccountable) Cardinals, Bishops and Priests of the religion, to the many Churches of the religion and these to the Cathedrals (financial institutions).
We must now rise to dismantle the Religion of Finance. This inhumane enslaving parasitic belief system put in place by bankers and merchants and lesser princes no longer worthy of the support of their people. Only by defeating this dogma, this enslaving faith in wealth, can we liberate ourselves from the tyranny of money and once more walk with the Divine, securing those freedoms and mutually beneficial bonds are the very essence of humanity.
We have chosen Mammon
Great parallels. The barter economy is too cumbersome and slow. The cryptocurrency economy has central banking controlled governments against it. They have a monopoly on industrialized murder. Rough transition ahead. How to dismantle the fiat prison matrix we’re all caught up in.
Decentralization versus centralization. We’re spiritual beings having a human experience that’s been co-opted by Satanists trying to rule over Man.
Precious metals and cold wallet cryptos are stores of wealth for individuals. If Trump can create Constitutional money from the Treasury based on gold reserves and possibly US natural resource reserves, then mathematically we have an out from the matrix.
He’s working with Russia, Argentina, El Salvador, Hungary, Italy, and other Countries that want out. He’s going the litigious route first but eventually it will go kinetic. It’s very dynamic with many chess moves ahead. It could take 20 years or more to unwind.
