I produced this video for The Gravel Institute a few years back before the organization folded.

It’s popped off again recently for some reason. Maybe because everything has gotten worse?

    When monetary gain is the only thing that matters, you’re gonna get shit products and services.

    We worship the dollar. That’s the root of the problem.

      We don’t just worship the dollar, we literally elevate thieves and conmen and praise them for suckering so many people. They’re just smart businessmen by fucking over the populace for their own gain.

      And this is why family values and Christianity have disappeared in the US. It’s not some liberal plot. It’s not immigration. We ourselves have sold them so we can worship the dollar unimpeded by morality.

        That’s why xtians are perfect in a capitalist society - as long as they pray for absolution and acknowledge the “one true god”, morality plays no part in their decision making.

        They can be utter trash humans as long as they are sorry about it afterwards.

        The veil is thin though - one of the commandments is that no other god comes before theirs; but they kneel at the altar of the dollar. The entire western world revolves around money, not that christ guy or his works and deeds. Their hypocrisy knows no bounds.

          They are what John Bunyan called, “Christians in silver slippers”. Happy to have all the advantages of being recognized as good religious people when it’s available, but just as happy to toss it all when the tide turns and Christianity is unfashionable or they can get something better.
