5 Minute Exercise to Illustrate the Way Usury Destroys Cooperation

  5 Minute Exercise to Illustrate the Way Usury Destroys Cooperation Find an object which you have two of. This can be two pencils, two dollars, two ounces of gold, or two apples. In a group of at least 3 people, let one person lend these object to the other two people with the stipulation that they will owe the lender twice the amount lent in 5 minutes or else they will get lose all their belongings and maybe even go to prison for stealing. For instance, if I give one person one pencil, that person will owe me two pencils in 5 minutes. Two people should now each have one object and an obligation to pay back two objects in 5 minutes. Now, ask them if everyone in the game can pay back their obligation. This exercise illustrates how lending anything at interest leads to competition among the players in which one must lose in order for the other to win. Since there are only two objects in “the economy” and the obligation is 4 objects, it is mathematically impossible for the two players to

The Pattern of Money and the Language of Love

Video of this Essay:  https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP88TeWso/ In 1882 Nietzsche pronounced the famous declaration “God is Dead. We have killed him”. He was concerned about what would replace God in the West. The next 142 years would be the Age of Money, endless wars, expansive welfare programs, and the nation state.  In 2024 I observed a different pattern. Money is dead. I, the BankSlayer, has killed it. Love is alive! What comes next is the dissolution of the nation state and the reign of God’s kingdom on earth.  Money is a dead language. (Like Latin, Greek, and Hebrew) Only the dead speak it. (No one of importance) Usury spread it. (Money lending Ponzi) Default ended it. (See my $1.25M bet  here ) The Federal Reserve is Dead. (Echoes of Nietzsche) I have killed it. (With the love of God) The Pattern Language of Money The language of money causes us to be in conflict with the language of love by putting conditions and limitations on our lives.  Money compels us to live conditionally and t

This world is a dream

 In Lamentations 3:22-23 it is said  “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” What a sweet insight we have of the gospel and the love of our God in our daily rhythm of sleeping and waking. Every night we fall into a sleep. Every morning we wake up from that slumber and that dream world where nothing seems quite right and yet everything seems possible. In the darkness are bodies are trained to fade into sleep until the rising of the sun, when we wake up refreshed and renewed. In the resurrection the dead will rise with the appearance of the Son like those who are asleep rise with the rising of the sun. The old world will pass away like a dream and there will be no more death and no more sorrow and no more sleep. The nightmare of our sin and our fear will fade and we will live forever in the knowledge of the Love of God.  Every night and morning we have this picture of slumber and awakening. T

Solving the Problem of Evil

Syllogism the Solves the Problem of Evil:  God is good and all-powerful. Evil seems to contradict this. Christ's death appeared to be the ultimate evil. His resurrection turned it into ultimate good. Evil has no real power in light of God’s love. Therefore, evil is an illusion, and Christ’s victory frees us from it. The problem of evil is one of the most profound and difficult challenges in philosophy and theology. Traditionally, it questions how an all-powerful, all-loving God could allow the existence of evil and suffering in the world. In the essay " Evil Does Not Exist and Why Our Belief in Evil is Killing Us ," I argues that the real issue lies not in evil itself but in the human belief in it. This belief not only distorts reality but also gives power to evil, when in fact, it has no true existence. The Problem of Evil The problem of evil, as posed by philosophers like Epicurus and later by David Hume, argues that if God is both omnipotent and omnibenevolent, then

Evil Does Not Exist and Why Our Belief in Evil is Killing Us

This message was delivered for the first time by Zachary Travis Moore on October 16, 2024 at the  Freedom Hall Academy in Vernal Utah. Evil Does Not Exist and Why Our Belief in Evil is Killing Us Opening: Do you want the truth? In the gospel of John, Jesus says  “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”  (John 8:32) How many people here think that freedom is a good thing?  There is a great line in the film The Big Short that says, “Truth is like poetry. And most people fucking hate poetry.” There is another great line, I believe from the title of a book that reads “The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off!” My goal today is not to piss you off or put you to sleep. My goal is to tell you the truth and set you on fire with the freedom that comes with knowing the truth. That’s why I write about debt. That’s why I record videos on usury and government overreach, and other political and spiritual matters. I want to tell you the truth. But the truth is so
