   Been reading wikipedia about our new lords & masters, so far Bezos, Musk, & Thiel, looking for what neurological defect may account for their lack of empathy or compassion. Sure they drop 100mil here & there for philanthropic cred, & sure it's an astounding windfall for the beneficiaries, but it totals to less than 1% of their wealth. For the religious a tithe is 10% of one's income. Seems like the common christian would be flipping tables over this level of greed. #Politics #Economy #Charity

     @krystyna When the Abrahamic religions introduced the concept of christ to soften the image of a vengeful god of fear, they also included the "forgiveness for your sins" clause so you could kinda pick & choose which laws you'd uphold & which you'd ask forgiveness for.

     What a GREAT point. Where are the religious ones. (Exempted are the Mormons who do tithe).
