Published by And the Money God spake all these words, saying, I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee into the land of America, into the house of wealth.
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Thou shalt make unto thee idols reaching up towards the heavens, exploiting that which is in the earth and polluting that which is in the water:
Thou shalt bow down to me, and serve yourself: for I the Money God, thy God am a greedy and selfish God, visiting the inequality of the impoverished unto the third and fourth generation that lack me;
And shewing indulgence unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. Thou shalt not take the name of money in vain, for money he will not hold he that taketh the name of money in vain.
Forget the sabbath day, to keep you wealthy.
Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
But the seventh day is the day of consuming: in it thou shalt not spend any money on thy son, nor thy daughter, nor the labourers, nor the charities, nor the hungry outside thy gates:
For in six days the Money God made economic inequality on earth, and all that in it is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the wealthy, and hallowed them.
Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy wealth be great when they die.
Thou shalt mistreat those in third world countries.
Thou shalt adulter the land.
Thou shalt steal from the poor and powerless.
Thou shalt bear false witness against thy enemies for profit.
Thou shalt covet thy neighbour’s wife, his Mercedes, his Sweedish furniture, his job, his big screen television, and anything that is thy neighbour’s.
And all the people saw the wealth, and glamour, and luxury of the rich and powerful: and when they saw it, they lusted, and stood in awe.
And they said unto the aristocrats, give unto us, and we will live: but let not destitution be with us, lest we die.
And the aristocrats said unto the people, Fear me: for money has come to rule you, and that our wealth may be before your faces, that you are in need.
And the people stood afar off and the aristocrats drew near unto the lavishness where the money was.
Ad the Money God said unto the Aristocrats, thus thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace, thy houses and thy jobs: in all place where I min thy bills, I will come unto thee , and I will bless thee.
And thou shalt build a government of false democracy, thou shalt build it upon the backs of the working class; for if a common man is to set foot into it, thou hast polluted it.
Neither shalt the upright go up the steps unto mine altar, that their nakedness be discovered theron.
