In the Middle Ages people lived little and badly, but everyone was resigned: it was God's plan. Against no way to fight, and if someone happened to do so because their priests were burned at the stake as an example and warning to other potential rebels.
Today we can say that God is dead in the West, or at least is in the ICU with breathing and brain- assisted. But let's not celebrate. God has raised another, even more powerful than the previous one: the market.
Like Yahweh is all powerful and cruel. His punishment is capricious and terrible. Woe to him who dares to contradict him! There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth!
As the Lord is everywhere, but nobody has seen, nobody knows. Only know him through his works, the miracles he works in favor of his chosen, the resulting catátrofes.
He also has its basilicas and cathedrals, buildings magnífcos shine with the luxury and power. And the priests and nuns, acolytes and sacristanes: what are. if not, the major political parties, presidents and ministers, judges and police? Their secure servers, which run over each other to provide better service to the Lord and fall in grace.
And we, the faithful, as the servants of the dark ages, we humble ourselves before Him, obey, we bow our heads and resign. And does not promise us eternal life, not what we believe and also live too long and we are impatient when waiting for the reward. We offer pieces of heaven and hell here and now: I lower the salary, but my team is league champion, I removed the board, but has won the Red, my children have no future, but why rush with the silly adventures of Big Brother! My life sucks, I steal what they want, I'm a slave ... but if I win the lottery of Christmas ...
However, as in the Middle Ages, some people think that it is not almighty, a canard, which can expose and defeat. The fires do not give crude. But not enough. This time, no. We have learned something since then. Market God And the great end in the black hole of history
