God & Money

Now before i continue, i want to say that i am not implying that every religious person or every person in general does this because there are exceptions of course. Im sure everyone has heard (doesn't matter if u believe in it or not) that Christians , Mainly Catholics, believe in a Hell ( for punishment) and Heaven ( as a reward). The psychology behind this is FEAR. This might not work for everyone..but i can assure you its working for the majority whether they know it for not. If you do something because you expect a reward or to avoid punishment then you're motivated by self interest. Guess what else is a motivator for self-interest? Money. Is it not a coincidence that the most powerful and influential country , The United States , has "In God we trust" printed on their Money. The bible itself states that the love of money is the root of all evil. Just like Penn said ""We need to treat each other well because we love each other." Give it deep thought.
