    1. Tying It Together

      The ethical concerns are never going to be fully addressed by the capitalists whose job it is to generate stockholder value.

      This is one of the most dangerous and insidious belief systems known to man, in my opinion. When I was growing up the Catholic church believed that pre-marital sex was a sin and we would all go to hell if we tried it. In many cultures today it is taught that 'god' doesn’t condone homosexuality. For example, in Iran, homosexual acts are punishable by flogging and even death in some cases because of this belief in a judgmental ‘god.’ I don’t believe God made this planet let alone created a moral code for all to live by. I think we made it so we could project our guilt, shame, and fears onto others. I believe that projection is perception.
