Goldman Sachs boss says banks do "God's work"

Did he happen to mention WHICH god he was working for?

As one poster pointed out, there is a pervasive sickness among Christianity known as the "health and wealth" gospel. Joel Olsten and many other popular, well-dressed rich wolves in sheep's clothing are preaching it and the flock is eating it up. Fortunately for true believers, such a sick "gospel" has nothing to do with Christ's teachings.

He can go on doing his god's work and I'll go on doing mine.

Honestly there is no way for a country to function set up the way the US is right now. Like previously stated the bonuses given out to just ONE company would cover all state deficits.

By simply putting a limit on how much money 1 person can earn in a year would solve ALL problems. The thing about it is the number put on a persons worth could still be set VERY high, higher than anyone needs. You could still allow them to have a few very nice houses and lots of extra fun material things they want. Think of it as a salary cap, like in sports.

It is just impossible to function when 1% of the population owns everything. Ugh i have so much more to say, it's just so amazing throughout history it has gotten to this and now we are so deep into this way of doing things it's going to be very hard to change any of it.

This isn't about Jews, this is about Bankers, please dont sour my thread with anti semitism

Antisemitism? He didn't say anything about Semites. He said Jews. Arabs are in fact Semites. The victims of war atrocities in Gaza were Semites. So don't accuse people who don't like your cult-like religion or the terrorist state of Israel of being racists.

In todays society banking has become a foregone conclusion. Zen Buddhism is culturally riddled with a history and fascination with war, while many think it would be very peaceful. Well apparently in the olden times they thought war was a foregone conclusion and not something they could just say no to and it became a big part of an otherwise peaceful philosophy.

Banks today are very much the same, they are a foregone conclusion. I'd bet most people on here have a loan at a bank right now.

Society could easily have started changing it's ways at any time, but maybe mostly back in summer/fall of 2008 to be somewhat realistic and fair, when Ron Paul started being heard. The problems did not begin to occur until late 2009. Alot could have been backed off of financially.

But really it shouldn't have taken something as severe as that to make people realize that debt = slavery. No matter what time period, that has always been plain as day to me.

So to understand what the man is saying, and it might serve you well to understand your enemy: Banking is a foregone conclusion, and so is God's work. So they at least do have some things in common.

It doesn't have to be a foregone conclusion, if society is willing to slow down, and change. Everyone listening on here could prove the man wrong, but we have to remember 90% of the world is still asleep and totally oblivious to these issues, distracted by pop culture.

And yes you have to remember that Jesus overturned the moneychangers tables and hated Usury. Banking really is a passive system, then people get up to their eyeballs in debt by their own choice. If only life situations dictated that, need and not want, and they only used debt in emergencies, then society as a whole would not be in debt. It is in debt because of it's own forethought and greed. (Edit: But I guess it would be an interesting line of thinking to figure out why Jesus was angry at the money-changers and not the people in line who gave them a living)

I don't condone the bankers, nor do I condone society. I sort of sit in the middle.

Everyone should read 'The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power' by Jeff Sharlet. It shows how a secret Christian cult is taking over the government and corporate america and condoning its members criminal activities.
