May be the creation of the corporate entity.

Was it not a Dutch monk that invented the corporate entity that unleashed the great planet eating Beast that we see finishing it's task today?

Too add a fun twist, could the Church have done so in order to expedite John's Revelation?

Following Christ is about a relationship, not doing rituals in an organized manner on Sunday.

That's the saddest part, because God has given us this awesome free gift in His Son, but many have been turned off because of what organized religion has done.

I'm not a religious person at all.

Curiousity has partially overcome laziness, at least long enough for a quick google.

"The oldest corporation in the world is the Stora Kopparberg mining community in Falun, Sweden.It was granted a charter from King Magnus Eriksson in 1347."

No reference to who came up with the idea of the corporate entity in the first place.

Damn that King Magnus Erikkson! Damn him to hell!

A mining company, no less!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('threadbear', '.')..... Christ confronted commercial interests that subverted the spiritual life of the temple, and took on the entire orthodoxy of Judaism, in his day...

He was also the living embodiment of anarchism. Were he alive today, he'd have dreadlocks, live in a tree near Eugene Oregon, take on Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell and boycott MacDonalds.

Christianity demands that we be heroic, sometimes, and meek at other times....

Get up off your knees, Man!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('threadbear', 'P')erhaps Christ WAS the son of God. I'll grant you that. He was also the living embodiment of anarchism. Were he alive today, he'd have dreadlocks, live in a tree near Eugene Oregon, take on Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell and boycott MacDonalds.

In the context of PO, I think the greatest problem that Judeo-Christian culture has created is the 'cornucopian' mindset embodied in Genesis 1.

God creates the Earth for humankind's dominion, and then tells them to 'go forth and multiply'.

I really don't know whether this is simply an embodiment of an earlier cornucopian mentality, or whether other religions promote this idea as well, but it's provided theological justification for raping the planet ever since.

The corporation was invented to dodge liabilty and cut the costs of externalities, thereby increasing profits immensley more than a regular business like a partnership, where all partners bear liabilty for their actions. Yes, allowing the corporation to become a legal, legal entity was a huge mistake.

No i don't think religion invented it, but oraganised religion was anouther huge mistake
