Religious Business

I received a letter from BankofAmerica recently.  I have banked with them since the Fall of 1981, when I entered UNC-Chapel Hill as a freshman.  I have kept the same checking account all of this time.  Over the course of time the bank has changed.  I won't say evolved.  Once it was Nation's Bank.  For the longest time it was a reputable organization.  Their acquisition of CountryWide sealed their fate, and Eric Holder sued them for their involvement in the hedge fund debacle to the tune of eight billion dollars.  They have not been able to rebound from such a monetary fine.  They had it coming.  Price gouging, fees, and other unethical practices have beleaguered their company.  Here in Fayetteville they have closed branches at Eutaw and on Ray Avenue and have closed the Drive Up windows at most locations.  They have cut their tellers, and now lines back up to the door.  When I make a simple transaction such as a deposit, usually I wait twenty minutes standing in line with only a few people in front of me.  There are only two tellers at the Village Drive branch, and only one of them seems to handle customers.  The other one walks around looking down doing busy work.  It is frustrating, but when I turn around and feel the animosity of those standing behind me, their anger, their frustration, and their pain I ask myself is it worth it?  Like other aspects of American life, or rather I should say like Communist nations, we are having to fight to obtain what once were easily available services.  Fight to buy?  Fight to bank?  It just dawned on me that this is Communist.  Communism has traveled to America, and we should get used to it.  We should get used to having to fight for the things we once had.  It is the proper evolution of Capitalism, but only because it has been mishandled the way Socialism has been in Europe.  Fundamentally Socialism is meant to provide for everyone with a publicly-owned means-of-production.  There is no private labor force, and the people own their own factories.  The problem is the human race is not capable of handling this socioeconomic system.  Without religion, or rather a staunch belief in God and the implications of Christianity, human beings are not capable of moral or ethical decisions.  It has been proven over the last decade as America and all but eradicated God's presence in society.  With no God, no values, then human beings are free to do as they please.  Basically America via the internet has become a modern Sodom and Gomorrah.  It is ironic, because God did not intend human beings to be chaste.  Why would He have given us sexuality, if we could not exercise it?  It is simple.  Abide by His rules as responsible adults, respect one another, and with reverence and humility comfort ourselves from the brutality of survival with human temperaments, something of which we have lost sight.  All of the traditional things we once studied to guide our lives have been shelved in lieu of manipulation from the wealthy via our government.  America no longer empowers her populace.  Instead she exploits them.  It is not surprising.  The model is Europe.  Any form of government will fail spawned only by greed.  Only the Christian feeling can save us.
