That's twisting words. Belief in some cosmic, anthropomorphic entity is nothing to do with "belief" in money or corporations. How does one "believe" in those things anyway? They are here, they exist, and they're fucking shit up right now, and we can trace much of our woes to those forces. You cannot say the same about magical beings looking down on us from the clouds
- IgorPartola 6y agoNo they don’t exist the same way a hammer exists. A corporation is nothing but a piece of paper that a high priest of our religion (Secretary of state) has brought into existence via a ritual (signing a piece of paper). That is all a corporation is. Money: it exists as a physical piece of paper. Our belief in its value is what gives it value. Not unlike our belief in the idea that consuming a communion cracker is like ingesting the body of Christ (ritual cannibalism). Most things you consider real live in the intersubjective and religion is no different.
