Somehow, hoarding and greed is one moral play those churches didn't have to follow. As is killing . Somehow we can justify hiring CIA hitmen to off people abroad and domestically in who knows what numbers, but god help you if you smoke pot in your backyard. Morality is justification for the rich. Morality, as it is institutionalized, is nothing but a tool by whatever authorities who utilize it to not only control the population but to exploit it.
Today is no different, in fact today is worse.
It protects and defends them. We have Congress implicitly stating that multinational corporations have more rights than individuals. We have the DMCA and the Internet Decency Act working overtime to help large companies stake their claim on the internet, privatizing our last free voice . There is no divine right, there is no moral high ground. More importantly, there is no real aristocracy that manages to keep its status without the support of the people.
