Theological Enlightenment about Capitalism as a Religion by Franz Segbers

THEOLOGICAL ENLIGHTENMENT ABOUT CAPITALISM AS A RELIGION A CAPITALIST CREED By Franz Segbers [This article is translated from the German on Franz Segbers' webpage. Franz Segbers is a Protestant professor of theology at the University of Marburg and a prolific writer.] I believe in the market, the Almighty, the creator of prosperity and happiness, and in profit, its only begotten son, our Lord, conceived by liberalization, arose out of the protestant ethic, suffered under communism and regulation, minimized, maximized and spared, descended in the kingdom of recession, rose from the bear market, and ascended in times of boom. Profit is rightly part of the market of the almighty Father, and will come to judge the owners of capital and the wage-earners. I believe in private maximization of advantages, constant profitable growth, the community of banks, forgiveness of credits, resurrection of shares and the eternal business cycle.
