This Week's Questions

Questions that occurred to me this week with no obvious answer:

Is the Christian ideal of service really just social control?
In other words, "is serve your neighbor and especially me" something the higher ups say to keep people in line, while feeling no particular pressure to serve in return?  Or, worse, to believe that they "serve" by being fabulously wealthy and successful and that the benefits trickle down?
Or is a society where everybody servers everybody an ideal to strive for even outside of a christian framework?

How many problems stem from the personhood of corporations?
Do people that accept that corporations are people have any room to laugh at the religious for believing in irrational traditions?

Why does our economic theory so closely align with that of dragons?
(Acquire gold, hoard gold, praise and worship gold hoarders, hope one day to be a dragon)
