Jesus was a carpenter. What would he have to say about the housing bubble, the REIC, the GOP, and our current consumption-crazed American society?


Ya know, you just don't get that kind of question on the other bubble blogs, do ya?


Here's my take. First, the Republicans, the "party of jesus, god and morality", are also the party of big business, the rich, the REIC, big oil, and money money money. A bit odd, no? And Americans are still buying this BS?

Second, if jesus were amongst us today, what do you think he'd have to say about McMansions? About Nissan Armadas? About credit card debt? About HELOCs used for shopping sprees? About America's negative savings rate and ballooning debt?

What would jesus have to say about mortgage brokers? Anyone think jesus would be a realtor? Anyone picture jesus driving an Armada and living in a McMansion?

You don't have to be a bible thumping red neck fundamentalist hate-filled whacko to appreciate jesus' philosophy and teachings. And boy, if he were around today, he'd have a thing or two to say about the current state of affairs in America.

I am no religious nut.....but Christs teacing had a sense of humility that is certainly missing from todays society.

People really need to go into a church/temple of their choice, but instead of trying to change the world.....need to change themselves.

I am a conservative Christian. To be honest, I am as puzzled and angry as the "non-Christians" at the positions that the majority of "Christians" have taken today. If you look literally at Jesus' teachings on wealth and war you would find it to be exactly the opposite of the lifestyle and agenda of the evangelical church. Unfortunately many "Christians" today see support for the republican party the same as support for their faith. Many have never stopped to ask questions like "would Jesus launch a prevenative war and kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people out of revenge or "security" or greed?", or "would Jesus live a luxurious lifestyle while billions go hungry?" Looking at the Christian church in America today I can understand why so many have rejected the message of Christianity. However, if you really searched the scriptures you would find that the "Christianity" many see today is not the same faith that Jesus came to live and teach. I can't help but believe that He is even more disgusted and upset than I am.

I don't see it.

As for Jesus, I think he'd be appalled with both the right and the left. While I totally agree that the Republican agenda is based on a pseudo Christianity that infuriates me tremendously, the Democrats haven't wanted to play the Christian game, and therefore are called "Godless." It wouldn't hurt Democrats to link moral values and concern for the poor, minorities, immigrants, etc.

Police Stun Gun Kills Teen With Bible
Oct 31 8:42 AM US/Eastern



A teenager carrying a Bible and shouting "I want Jesus" was shot twice with a police stun gun and later died at a St. Louis hospital, authorities said.

In a statement obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press, police in Jerseyville, about 40 miles north of St. Louis, said 17-year-old Roger Holyfield would not acknowledge officers who approached him and he continued yelling, "I want Jesus."

Police tried to calm the teen, but Holyfield became combative, according to the statement. Officers fired the stun gun at him after he ignored their warnings, then fired again when he continued struggling, police said.

Holyfield was flown to St. Louis' Cardinal Glennon Hospital after the confrontation Saturday; he died there Sunday, police said.

An autopsy was planned for Tuesday.

The statement expressed sympathy to Holyfield's family but said city and police officials would not discuss the matter further.

Calls Tuesday to Jerseyville Police Chief Brad Blackorby were not immediately returned. The department has been using stun guns for about five months, according to the statement.

In a report released in March, international human rights group Amnesty International said it had logged at least 156 deaths across the country in the previous five years related to police stun guns.

The rise in deaths accompanies a marked increase in the number of U.S. law enforcement agencies employing devices made by Taser International Inc. of Scottsdale, Ariz. About 1,000 of the nation's 18,000 police agencies used Tasers in 2001; more than 7,000 departments had them last year, according to a government study.

Police had used Tasers more than 70,000 times as of last year, Congress' Government Accountability Office said.

Amnesty International has urged police departments to suspend the use of Tasers pending more study. Taser International said the group's count was flawed and falsely linked deaths to Taser use when there has been no such official conclusion.

The city of St. Louis also drew unwanted attention for crime this week when it was named the most dangerous U.S. city by Morgan Quitno Press. The ranking looked only at crime within St. Louis city limits, not its metro area.

I am a Christian, and like the Republicans stand on Social conservatism. Helping to make the rich get richer at the expense of the rest of us is definitely not pleasing to God (just read the Bible).

On the other hand, the Democrats are so secular it is sickening. Their stand on being for the little guy is laughable too - many are millionares themselves, and their goal is power and wealth, just like the Republicans. Many want to take from the other rich while exclduing themselves.

I will not be voting for either party - the lessor of two evils is still evil.

Would it surprise any of you to know that Jesus lived through an actual real estate bubble, but was crucified just before the ultimate collapse? The real estate bubble in question was in present-day Italy, but I'm certain that as a merchant and small business owner Jesus was aware of speculative excess. Real estate bubbles are as old as the hills. The Annales of Tacitus details the credit crunch of 33CE:

"The Senate passed a measure requiring two-thirds of loaned money to be reinvested in Italian real estate to prevent the collapse of land prices resulting from the sale of assets to repay loans. Tiberius himself later offered 100m sesterces on loan for three years to ease the credit crunch.


From Tacitus: "Meanwhile a powerful host of accusers fell with sudden fury on the class which systematically increased its wealth by usury in defiance of a law passed by Caesar the Dictator defining the terms of lending money and of holding estates in Italy, a law long obsolete because the public good is sacrificed to private interest. The curse of usury was indeed of old standing in Rome and a most frequent cause of sedition and discord, and it was therefore repressed even in the early days of a less corrupt morality. First, the Twelve Tables prohibited any one from exacting more than 10 per cent, when, previously, the rate had depended on the caprice of the wealthy. Subsequently, by a bill brought in by the tribunes, interest was reduced to half that amount, and finally compound interest was wholly forbidden. A check too was put by several enactments of the people on evasions which, though continually put down, still, through strange artifices, reappeared. On this occasion, however, Gracchus, the praetor, to whose jurisdiction the inquiry had fallen, felt himself compelled by the number of persons endangered to refer the matter to the Senate. In their dismay the senators, not one of whom was free from similar guilt, threw themselves on the emperor's indulgence. He yielded, and a year and six months were granted, within which every one was to settle his private accounts conformably to the requirements of the law.


"Hence followed a scarcity of money, a great shock being given to all credit, the current coin too, in consequence of the conviction of so many persons and the sale of their property, being locked up in the imperial treasury or the public exchequer. To meet this, the Senate had directed that every creditor should have two-thirds his capital secured on estates in Italy. Creditors however were suing for payment in full, and it was not respectable for persons when sued to break faith. So, at first, there were clamorous meetings and importunate entreaties; then noisy applications to the praetor's court. And the very device intended as a remedy, the sale and purchase of estates, proved the contrary, as the usurers had hoarded up all their money for buying land. The facilities for selling were followed by a fall of prices, and the deeper a man was in debt, the more reluctantly did he part with his property, and many were utterly ruined. The destruction of private wealth precipitated the fall of rank and reputation, till at last the emperor interposed his aid by distributing throughout the banks a hundred million sesterces, and allowing freedom to borrow without interest for three years, provided the borrower gave security to the State in land to double the amount. Credit was thus restored, and gradually private lenders were found. The purchase too of estates was not carried out according to the letter of the Senate's decree, rigor at the outset, as usual with such matters, becoming negligence in the end.'"

Jesus never created a faith, that's the Mithraism that Paul had incorporated, after the fact. So, once an official religion is created and dissenters labelled as heretics, you get the kind of situation that you're disgusted by today but in reality, you know that you're probably just as suspectable to it as any other 'believer' out there. That's why we need to go back to spirituality, and not an organized religion for people to discover their true nature or whether or not they're simply conformists at heart. I suspect that many so-called Christians are needy persons, who lack a true spiritual connection/extasis and are looking for someone else to do their bidding for them.

People these days are so hedonistic, self-absorbed, pampered, impatient, and emasculated that they have no regard for the future of their culture or nation. What a debased posterity this is.

H.G. Wells wrote a good story, "The Time Machine" spelling out the degeneration of the culture into the "Eloi" and "Troglodytes." Eloi are Westerners and the Troglodytes are the Muslim hordes.

Oh Keith, stop it with your self-righteous, indignation histrionics.

Judging by your prior posts on "dirty illegal" Mexicans, "darker skinned" Muslim terrorists, etc, you're just as impressionable as those you criticize so vehemently. That's part of the reason why you don't win a lot of arguments here because you're a type of faux moderate but is more or less an American living in Europe who's indoctrinated that whites over there are culturally superior than whites over here w/o understanding what people here have really accomplished without letting the Richards, Jenkins, and Honica extremists from exposing your biases which you'd picked up by osmosis then from your own discernment.

As for Jesus, he was a Jew and a Jewish prophet. He didn't come to create a new religion, just purify the one he belonged to. Paul created a new mystical religion and deified Jesus. Muhammed came along to return both Christians and Jews to the worship of the god of Abraham. Islam is a purer form of those two. I guess when the Jewish prophet said, "And in that day his name shall be ONE and all shall worship at his holy temple" he must have meant ALLAH and MECCA.

Now that's gutsy. Ya wouldn't see that coming from a new religion today. The pure diabolical logic of it is so starkly Orwellian in nature, it would take a genius to pull that off today. Now it's just accepted in the theistic canon as irrefutable sense, like 1+1=2.

Jesus was not just a great philosopher. He was either the true Son of God or the ultimate self deluded liar. His words becon everyone to make a decision. Just labeling His Words as some noble moral teaching/philosophy is completely missing what Christ was all about. It was very clear that Christ did not see politics or riches as a worthy place to invest ones life's resources -- His Kingdom was not of this world while this earthly kingdom (as well as the political structure) will pass away. It is likely that he would not have spent a great deal of time focusing upon the housing bubble but more than likely would have focused upon not storing up your treasures on earth but rather in heaven.

Christ also still speaks in His word about not being surprised when people hate you because they first hated Me. Perhaps, it is not "the bible thumping red neck fundamentalist" who are "hate-filled whackos" but rather they are simply labeled that because perhaps they are counter cultural. It seems to me that those the world hates the most are those who stand against their moral depravity --it is not the one who wollows in every greater levels of vile behavior that is condemned by society but only those who would call it for the moral filth that it is. No one has any problem with philosophy but just try to say that the is right and wrong and you are libel to be crucified by slanderous words or perhaps literally.

That being said it does not mean the true christian church is being a good light. Without a doubt the christian church in america is nearly as worldly and backward as our culture. In Christian terms we have lost are saltyness. The church is leveraged by debt and ignores God's plan for financial well being. We in the church all too often think we are wiser than the words of the scriptures which have been handed down to us.

Other words which Christ would surely affirm: Be the lender not the borrower, the borrow is servant (slave) to the lender, do not lend at usury, consider the cost before you build to make certain that you will be able to finish and not come up short and be labeled a fool, love your neighbor as yourself, as well as many more things.

Sorry, but Muhammed's god, Allah, was a MOON GOD, not the SUN GOD of Christianity or the PENIS GOD of Judaism. He had nothing to do with the god of Abraham, although he was equally obnoxious.

Hey Keith, I recall the post where you showed a photo of a group of either bearded Sikhs or darker toned Arabs and said that if you look like this (Hint: dark skin) then you need to be profiled as a terrorist. This was during the raid of the bottled waters, a few months ago.

So yes, your posts do border on racism. Imagine, a bunch of NOI (or even friends of) African-Americans being beaten up by the white people who you'd inspired from your post on that topic matter. Yes, it does happen. Remember the movie, "Fisher King", when Jeff Bridges inflammatory remarks got Robin William's wife killed.

So you see, you're not an enlightened person like you think and stop using Fox news as your main counterpoint. I don't watch them. If you were truely a wise man, then you wouldn't have fallen for that media ploy to get all excited about more terrorists attacks on America.

The first of the satanic seedline being cain, who Jesus said was responsible for all the rightous blood from Able unto Zacharia. Is it any stretch of the imagination that they would be responsible for all bloodshed, directly or indirectly, from Yashuas time untill today? Jesus said that in the end days, you will know them (the children of the dark, aka the tares, aka the genetic offspring of satan himself) by their works. Now, just what kind of works have these Christ murdering, communist, coin clipping, usery inventing, Christmas and Constitution stealing, currency controlling, nation destroying jews been doing?

Honica Jewinski, are you a Jew? How did you get a name like JEWinski? Are you a self-hating, self-loathing Jew?

Jesus was a jew. His mother was a Jewish. His father (most likely a jew though some think a roman soldier) wasn't GOD.

Jesus was suppose to be descended from King David, of the Tribe of Judah (from whence we get the word Jew, of Judah). If he wasn't a Jew he couldn't be the Jewish messiah.

And where do you get that Jews are responsible for christmas? That came from the Romans, a pagan celebration converted by Rome into a Christian holiday to promote christianity among the masses.

And what gnostic gospel are you reading to get that Cain was the offspring of Eve and the serpent?

Coin clipping? Oh, inflation, a method used by Romans, Greeks, governments, not jews. Jews may have been involved in financial actions from time in memorial but that was because most governments banned them from other professions and trades as well as making it convinient to use Jews as scapegoats and take all their money and not pay back their debts to the jewish money lenders like Queen Isabella did in Spain (just one of many examples). At least Muslims didn't steal from Jews or Christians like Christians stole from Muslims and Jews.

The contribution of Jews to the world of science, religion, medicine, education, economics, law, is immeasurable and far exceed their percentage of the world's population.

Jew-hating has been a tool used by the Catholic and Christian churches for centuries because of their hatred toward them because they wouldn't accept Jesus as messiah, which kind of invalidates the churches claim, that is why they hate them so.

Muslims don't hate jews, only zionists (and usually anyone who wants to upsurp muslim rule in any region of the world.

Jesus wouldn't care about the house bubble or any other issues we face because he taught his Kingdom was not of this world or this age.

I don't think you can honestly blame the GOP for the housing bubble. The bubble was a product of easy credit coming from the Federal Reserve. It began in the nineties and moved from stocks to housing. No politician aside from maybe Ron Paul has said boo about it. Almost everybody liked the bubble. Well those that owned assets that were artificially inflated. As a conservative I can tell you that no one sent us a memo to buy the Nasdaq in 1995. I was too busy reading Pete Peterson and worrying about the S&P at its dangerously high level of 500.

Rather than spending your time blaming people you don't like for this problem why don't we look for a solution. Easy credit and credulous investors.

Keith, is a 'don't bother me with the truth' type of false moderate. Yes, credit bubbles are a function of a system that's less manufacturing based and more service (and arbitrage) type of economic machine where the underpinning are based more upon the flow/velocity of dollars than whether or not anything is produced. That's a dangerous type of modern economy, see medieval Venice, because it's short-lived and eventually transfers all the wealth to the truely producing sectors and/or the owners of them. Dems and Reps are all a part of it, however, this current admin is more designed for the current CEOs/execs to get the most bang for the buck before getting out with their platinum parachutes. Dems want to slow down the process and thereby, perhaps keep the wealth local for a bit longer.
