Insightful observation about the intersection of capitalism and religious faith.

[Majed]

The capitalist narrative of the system rewarding hardwork and sacrifice, is a manifestation of a deeper religious narrative about God rewarding moral behavior.

Capitalism works because most people are believers and therefore since they are persistent with hardwork God rewards them with money.

And it works. That's the most beautiful thing about all that.

Well, even if you don’t believe and you go to work you’ll get paid. Capitalism is a matter of fact, rational, materialistic endeavour which does has philosophical roots. 
 

Is God really rewarding someone? Or is the the market?

@Thought Art In a believer's mind it's God.

Me, a 37-year-old mother of five in Namibia who has to work 12 hours each day just to feed her kids, dying of typhoid after a foreign company lobbied the government to cut back on water safety regulations: 

“I guess I was evil for being poor. My fault! Looks like it’s to hell I go!”

@Majed Okay, don’t go to work and stop believing in it and see what happens. Believe in free infinite abundance instead! You’ll be fine 😁

@Thought Art Careful not to strawman what i said. God didn't tell us to be fools either.

@Majed I am not trying to. You’ve been saying things like the bible created the world etc, so I’m pushing back in what I believe you’ve been saying. 
 

If you are speaking from a different place I am open to hearing it.
