Proving that God's wisdom is greater than the cunning of the devil it is more than revealing how Satan thought to plunge the world into superstition and ignorance with the Dark Ages only to have God turn that event on its head by publishing the Bible and it being the only book read for centuries it became the god-mind of men causing an explosion in faith, everyman filled with the knowledge of the word of God as their primer.

That concentration of godly knowledge which changed the world would never have happened if the Bible had lots and lots of competition for the hearts and imaginations of men from antiquity. Then the devil could not turn men away from God until he had furnished enough counter weight aside from the Bible for a new god-mind to supplant Bible thinking with learned thinking and idle entertainment thinking.

God becomes what man thinks about the most. Not the real God but the god that mammon indeed worships is that which they most adore. Man has evolved to adore himself the most. Let's see how the Maker of men will flip this occasion on it head and prove his wisdom greater than the cunning of the devil yet again.

The Holy Mother Church Of Mammon puts to shame the Christian style of evangelical proselyting. Force is used to push the people into her creeds and ordinances to enable people to survive and find gainful employment. Parents insist upon it. Society mandates it. You can hardly buy and sell these days without having bowed the knee and confessed allegiance for the certified right to live and breath the not quite free air.

The Holy Mother Church of Mammon's Creed:
Adore yourself as you adore all others who know enough to adore themselves.
Love the collective knowledge and works of man with all your heart, might, mind and strength.

Upon these two hang all defiance

That's one heck of a sentence. I tried reading it out loud except pausing every few words and really emphasizing other words and I swear I sounded just like Christopher Walken.

Which one?

The one that every comedian tries to imitate.

I can't get no respect.
I had several ideas to flesh out on this thread if it were engaged.
I mean it's like,
"Ehh! That notion's got legs. SWAT! There I killed it. Creepy little b^$+^&d.

Probably because the humanist here saw a threat. I mean the entirety of scholasticism that arose in the Renaissance humanist movement was a direct counter measure to offset the coming age of the vulgar learning of the masses inevitable after 1450s printing of the Bible.

If they cannot keep the people in ignorance then they must switch the leverage from an opposite direction and oppress with finesse. The Royal House of Human Thought owned all the books. Since everyone will be getting the books The Holy Mother Church of Mammon was invented to lead the masses with blinders on that kept them away from the truth and seeking wealth, honors, the pride of discovery, being called 'doctor' to keep the love of God displaced and irrelevant.

A war which they nearly lost as God had many souls to save in the next four hundred years and provided them their ordinances by proxy through Joseph Smith's efforts. [God's wisdom shines] Whom after killing insured that they would win the war eventually. At least until God pulled out another brand from the fire.

Possibly some other interesting notions to bring up as well but I can't get no respect. And I don't even have a tie to straiten nether. Man! I tell ya!
