Material Wealth Rejection Common to Jesus and Buddha

The one outstanding characteristic common to Gautama Buddha and Jimmy Jesus Christ was what, morons? You guessed it, the emphatic rejection of material wealth and temporal power. Coincidence? I think not, more likely enlightened decision making; but a little refresher for the those not entirely familiar with the stories.

Buddha was a prince and wanted for nothing material, his was a privileged birth which ensured exceeding wealth and temporal power by virtue of that birth. And what did Buddha do? He walked! He famously rejected the pinnacle of material achievement in his day and became a wandering ascetic seeking enlightenment. Perhaps we should note Buddha's initial decision to reject every material comfort/pleasure as an indication that he was already approaching enlightenment.

In the case of Jesus Christ, over half a millennium later, there are no doubts whatsoever about his detestation of money and temporal power. The Gospel of Luke begins with the temptation during which Jesus harshly informs the antagonist, Satan, to shove his material wealth and power offering/bribe up his arse -- “get thee behind me,” was no idle rejection in its day!

The narrative continues and clearly highlights a planned theological coup on the theocratic capital during which Jesus forcefully ejects the bankers/money changers from the Temple and claims rightful ownership -- “my Father’s house”.

COULD IT BE ANY CLEARER?

These two figures are presented as examples, the highest ideal lives we should all emulate. So what happened? The allures that ‘Satan’ offers seem to have trumped the cooperative, simple life of mutual aid and cooperation. Better the vile American model presented by Madison Ave and Wall St Zionist bankers than a peaceful, harmonious, co-operative society, it seems.

Of course, I had no part in constructing and arranging the narratives of Buddhism and Christianity, however, the good sense of rejecting material wealth and temporal power was not lost on me when I encountered it in the texts -- so what the fuck happened to you, morons? Better to accept the DESTRUCTIVE values of Mara/Satan than pursue simple, effective and equitable social solutions.

Addendum:
A short note on Islamic banking is entirely appropriate here. The Koran makes it plain that no interest should be applied to loans as it is obvious that interest is THEFT/extortion. Now take a good look at the new 'Islamic' (Sharia law) State of Libya and the FRAUDS that America has placed in government in order to rob the people of the nation's natural wealth.

The State bank of Libya in Benghazi is NOT an Islamic bank it is a Western Zionist Reserve Bank connected to the New York Federal Reserve; it levies huge interest on loans especially the huge loans for infrastructure development and resource exploitation/theft, which NATO facilitated by destroying existing infrastructure during its maniacal, civilian killing, bombing raids.

It becomes plain that the new 'Islamic State' of Libya is nothing of the kind, it is simply a gangster state run by fake fundamentalists in the service of the greatest enemies of Islam that exist, the Zionists and the Americans -- now choke on that REALITY, world-wide Islam and then get back to fucking your first cousins, you inbred mental lepers -- you can't see the nose on your stupid inbred faces!

It is America/Israel that is using traitorous Muslim gangsters to do its dirty work in North Africa and the Middle East. And they're getting it cheap, as the fraudulent Muslims that serve them only receive a pittance for selling out their religion and people! Libya, Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan are NOT Islamic States, their governments CLEARLY serve Washington -- any claim to the contrary is an easily PROVEN LIE and MONUMENTAL FRAUD, you dumb, inbred, Muslim fuckwits.
