The Exploitation of Faith and Debt
by Liza Sabater

Steve Gilliard's News Blog : The debt trap via Barefoot And Naked: Enslaving America at The Altar of Mammon
Read the whole damn thing because, really, isn't debt a material form of faith?

Values issues are the vehicle of economic anxiety. No one wants to face a cruel truth about America. To live middle class is to live facing large debts. We have created a sense of consumerism which is deeply embedded in every aspect of our lives. Sunday morning, after you walk the dog and make the coffee, turn on one of the church services, Creflo Dollar, TD Jakes, doesn't matter. All of them pander to their buppie audiences and tell them that making money is what God wants you to do.
