God Loves College Students who Major in Finance

[Johny Joe Hold]

One of the fascinating things God does is guide His people. This includes young people. We hear so often that the young are not responsible and are falling away from God. This is true only of some.

A study found that majors in Finance are the most likely to be true Christians. This makes sense because we know God likes the wealthy. He like those who do well for themselves. It turns out majors in Finance are His people.

Which college majors have the fewest Christians? English majors. We can imagine God's anger at the nose-in-the-air intellectuals studying poets and "the classics." Who needs these bottom feeders?

2. from OP - It was encouraging to see catholics differentiated from Christians, in the first chart. The text was a little cloudy in this respect but, on a brighter note, where categories were broken down a bit more the Theatrical disciplines stood out as "religiously disaffiliated," idiotic expression, probably dreamed up by anthropologists – who had the most abysmal weekly service attendance at 8%. Even the English department managed 11%. The correct term is HEATHEN, although within Fine Arts, Film, Media Studies and Studio Art, "pagan" and "savage" would be apposite no doubt derived from starving in a garret. Media finance departments seem to offer prosperity, however. God does not want us to starve in garrets.

III John 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

Christians' souls definitely prosper, being assured of one among many mansions situated of a street of pure gold. In the same way, it follows, one's corporeal essence should also prosper regardless of the opportunity cost. And what do we forgo? Declining invitations to orgies, not consuming red wine regardless of what it says on the label anyone can see if it's red, never entering idolatrous pantheons whether it claims to be one or not the number of effigies strewn around is a dead giveaway, certain "other" establishments I don't need to describe are similarly rejected, none of which have any appeal to True Believers helping us to distinguish cults - of which there are many.

Hallelujah!

1. Making coffee is not a "job."

I agree, Sister Mitza. Poetry-reading English majors making coffees are not filled with idealism and purpose in life. The finance major however focuses are carrying out God's plan of Capitalism and profit. Pushing back Satan and the sin of socialism is the highest calling of human kind. The data on religion confirms this.

Did you know they even make coffee from dried squid? But there's a more important question here. Capitalism.

It's like when someone picks the least consequential detail and then says, ‘‘Oh, such and such, why are you complaining about [the inconsequential thing]?’’ when you're not complaining about that at all. Capitalism comes under attack in this way.

Now Karl Marx lived and moved and had his being surrounded by hothouse dilettantes in London, his own supply of top-dressing supplied by Engels, making him solid 24carat bourgeois detritus. Once removed from the hothouse, that is – delicate orchids never do well in the broader world. And he blamed everything on capitalism.

But the real problem was cupidity:

• extreme greed (especially for wealth)
• lechery
• lustfulness
• the state of being libidinous

Acts 17
5b moved with envy [they] took unto them
5c certain lewd fellows of the baser sort . .
5e and set all the city on an uproar

Such persons—upon whom various sobriquets are bestowed—are an even bigger problem in command economies because they rely on Marxist dogma (or witchdoctors, in the savage realms) and have no means to better anyone's lot (other than their own) which is precisely how lewd fellows of the baser sort were dealt with in market economies. Particularly in England, once machines were invented, and despite grasping Scrooge McDucks, leisure time blossomed and convenient devices could be exported. By the time they'd been reverse-engineered, the Anglo world had invented something new (such as trains) but the central city in all this moved around a bit. London, Birmingham, Detroit, Houston, Aukland (I'm not sure what they make in Aukland but if they invent something they'll soon be headhunted) yet in all this paragraph there's one word conspicuous by its absence.

"Capitalism."

Prosperity comes from well-managed, profitable businesses, the very target of a barista's critique the last time I met one who was a Buddhist, honed to perfection in English Poetry classes and, of course, Media Studies. So my question is, Can a Christian be a Capitalist?

Thank you.
