The Capitalist-Christian Contradiction: God Against Greed

The Capitalist-Christian Contradiction exposes the political, economic, and spiritual contradictions in our society and the church. It points out how America’s capitalist system creates and maintains economic inequality, political corruption, economic exploitation , racial oppression, and spiritual poverty to worship the almighty dollar bill. Furthermore, the love of money has transformed many churches into a den of thieves that promulgates a prosperity gospel, enriching its clergy and impoverishing the community. Humanity’s only hope is to seek God’s kingdom or the beloved community of peace, justice, equality, and freedom for all people regardless of race, class, creed, level of morality, gender, or religion.
