To this end, every device has been designed to make people buy and consume even when they do not have any personal cash available. This is revealed in the creation of the credit card system which enables people to buy whatever they want and then they pay it back in monthly payments with high interest rates. Once people cease to make their monthly payments, everything is confiscated from them and they are even evicted from their home and literally thrown in the streets to live there mercilessly like strayed animals. Throughout the last two millennia, the Fathers of the Christian faith have advocated to Christians to live frugally, to have merely only those things which they need absolutely, nothing more and nothing less. They insisted that Christians should spend most of their time in complete union with God through prayer, meditation, fasting, and penance.
Capitalism advocates the building of a never-ending capital.
There is no such a thing as enough. If one makes 100,000 dollars, one yearns to make more and more without limit. In the meantime, the mind gets fogged completely into the material things of this world with virtual no time left for the upliftment of the human spirit to the Creator. Statistical studies demonstrate that Christians who renounce seeking for more and more and, instead, thank God for what they have, tend to live a healthier and a happier life. What has been stated about Christianity applies equally well to other religions, above all, Buddhism and Hinduism.
