But as Jesus said that the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath, so economic activity was made for man, not man for economic activity. <br /><br />What is idolatrous is the ideologies that insist that man must be controlled by economic forces, and that economic considerations take precedence over everything else.Steve Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11283123400540587033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19384577.post-59075880290042870362010-01-08T03:49:21.630+02:002010-01-08T03:49:21.630+02:00What you're saying is a little extreme. Accor...What you're saying is a little extreme. According to what you wrote, not only is economic analysis idolatrous, so is participation in any economy. So that makes us all idolaters (which we are and in need of forgiveness). So what's your point?Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05628558219877551895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19384577.post-2901294477105184912010-01-04T14:22:46.741+02:002010-01-04T14:22:46.741+02:00I've thought the same thing about the worship ...I've thought the same thing about the worship of the market. It is fitting that in the USA coins are imprinted "In God We Trust." Money IS the god worshiped here--to the detriment of all.Tauratinswehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10273045023254083987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19384577.post-62824153584932136012010-01-04T13:03:56.763+02:002010-01-04T13:03:56.763+02:00Given a choice between the Invisible Hand of the M...Given a choice between the Invisible Hand of the Market, a Father in Heaven, or an All Encompassing Love... I would choose the All Encompassing Love.<br /><br />However, for me, love and consciousness go hand-in-hand as emergent properties of the universe. Not sure about all-encompassing, but certainly always welling up everywhere.Yewtreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02028699564003381058noreply@blogger.com
