Why Faith in God Doesn't Require Faith in Dumb or Corrupt Economic Policy

Faith is a concept that has taken on political value in recent decades in the United States. Unfortunately it is all to commonly given an economic value as well regarding politics. I thought I would clarify what the implications or duties of faith are regarding politics and economics in the United States for Christians.

Faith in the existence of God and faith that salvation and eternal life follow from belief in the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ brings no political or economic social philosophy along with it. At least there is no recognizable political philosophy in the United States today that resembles Christian ethical values.

Faith brings a recognition that eternal values are more important than the temporal, yet it does not follow that stupidity regarding integrity of economic methods is necessary or usual for Christians.

Faith in God does not equate to faith in economics. A Christian has a work ethic and rational ideas about economic production and values. Christians do not subscribe to magical, hocus pocus economic concepts at all unless they are substantially misguided. Much of the swing rave media seem to have the opinion to the contrary, that faith means stupidity regarding economics and the globalist corporations or local self-employment would be matters of indifference for a Christian.

Christians with faith in God have a work ethic. If they are a farmer they have a rational awareness of growing season, work required to produce a crop and the value of the harvest. Christians have traditionally had leadership in actual work efforts especially regarding small business.

In the modern world of financial sophistication as a way to earn a living, the idea that a Christian ought to have blind faith in any economic secular venture of possibly dubious value or honesty is silly. Christians may well utilize dead reckoning regarding the veracity of economic initiatives and look to the Bible as a guide on what sort of corrupt practices to avoid partaking in.

Avoidance of usury is a desirable Christian virtue, so would good neighborliness and sobriety be to the point of abstemiousness. Today in the globalizing economy wherein Adam Smith nationalist founded capitalism has been transcended, a Christian should watch out for the interests of his fellow citizens and tangibly improve his own and his neighbor citizens ecological and economic situation regularly.

One of the troubles with globalization is that such capitalization concentrates wealth existentially in global banks and in investments in other global investments. Wealth created in one nation is extracted and exported to global banks, and the phenomena besides corrupting local economics also corrupts local political power balances and employment security. Global corporations and the reduction of the opportunities for a citizen to work without consent of global corporate political will means an eclipse of political empowerment locally is an inevitable trend simultaneous with the fiduciary corruption of national elected officials through their support for global corporate interests.

Christians in the United States today have no priesthood of believers support organizations to reinforce Christian economic security, welfare or work credit exchanges for security. Each local Church should have a Bishop to decide issues of orthodoxy and also a sextant to maintain church property, yet their should be no laity as all members actively are peers in all liturgical and church works with the roles of Bishop and sextant being largely auxiliary. Because today’s hierarchical priesthood generally has the interest of paying itself and staff as a first priority and has all tithing flowing through its control, the rational increase of an egalitarian church contribution and resource use simply fails to develop. Few hierarchical priests would know anything about a priesthood of believers of course.

So Christians are largely on their own without meaningful support in deciding about economic issues. They will receive advice from hierarchical priests that support a hierarchical globalism unfortunately because of the primary desire to be well connected with concentrated wealth so far as possible. The Democratic Party is the party of egregious sin and homosexual corruption pervasively as well as an advocate for abortion, so Christians have no choice except to vote for Republicans and Independents when they decide to vote.

The Faith vote is not then generally in support of globalism and aloof outsourcing of jobs. The invasion of foreign global corporations to create dependence and remove wealth is just as bad. Modern globalism tends to reduce economic independence and freedom to create phenomenally. Some advocate far more high-tech training for C student average citizens unrealistically, and the laws of supply and demand will reduce the pay compensation for those high tech positions eventually as well when China, India and other nations also have as many high tech trained workers willing to work for lower wages.

In the intermediate future the creation of a pervasive prosperity in the United States will be contingent upon securing the national boundaries, limiting immigration to 100,000 refugees annually and moving toward a low entropy ecological economic foundation. The Government would need to support and give advantage to low entropy local employment creation while also investing in large scale, low cost high tech transportation infrastructure equal to the Promontory Point era. High-speed electro-magnetic cargo and personal ground transport at 1000 M.P.H. with safety should be designed.

Christian may have faith in good and accentuate the positive on Earth. Christians should be concerned for the well being of their Christian brothers and citizens first and then their non-Sectarian fellow citizens next.

Real work rather than sophisticated financial manipulation and trimming of others is a preference for honest Christians. That economic area of honest work is increasingly in disrepute in sophisticated political circles of course as the financial related service sector has expanded to more than 30% of the national economy.

Christians may have little choice except to vote for globalist Republicans as the mirage of Democratic economic policy with a national priority is also poisoned with the pervasive support for sin. That the homosexual and abortion community should hold national economics hostage is basic reason why the Republican globalists have little moral competition today for Christian votes. Yet Democrats are also globalists and supporters of illegal migrant as well as legal migrant workers and foreign corporate investments in the United States. Since Tip O'Neill left his jobs as Speaker of the House the Democrat party has also become a party of the middle class far more than a party representing the poor. They are also recognized as the party of sin (we know all are not worthy and fall short of the requirements for salvation on their own merits of course).

Christians are not validating Republican economics nor placing blind faith in worldly financial flummery when they vote against Democratic Champions of Perversion--they may just be voting against the perversions while aware of the rotten economic policies of the Republican and Democratic parties.
