The Myth of Scarcity

So often greed is masked behind the Myth of Scarcity.

We actually live in tremendous luxury, wealth, abundance, and privilege, yet systems of domination develop a sense of "Created Need" to get us rats to continue on the treadmill of capitalism, or us slaves dragging our slabs up to the top of Pharoah's Pyramid.

John Nelson Darby

The father of Dispensationalism and one of the inventors of the concept of the "rapture". Before him such a concept never existed and now amongst most "mainstream" evangelicals.

What's important about this is not "who's right or wrong" about believing this mythical nonsense, but the mind-numbing ignorance about sourcing required in the slave mentality to buy whatever silliness is vomited up by our pastors and how spoon-fed we are on the Christian Right.
