The strenuous purposeful money-makers may carry all of us along with them into the lap of economic abundance, but it will be those peoples, who can keep alive, and cultivate into a fuller perfection, the art of life itself and do not sell themselves for the means of life, who will be able to enjoy the abundance when it comes.

Thought

Clearly, if God had to "die" on Earth to atone for original sin, then the sin was his, not ours (one cannot logically do penance for the actions of another). Indeed, which is more plausibly sinful, eating once of a forbidden fruit or overreacting to that act with banishment from paradise and a condemnation to suffering and death (and eternal suffering after death) not only of those who did it but of their descendants thousands of years forward and into the billions? A chastened god should well repent of such immoral fury!
