Letters to the Editor Southland Times
published 2nd November 2012
Reading you Correspondents letters here I can see Christianity has trying to sell it’s self as a kind of Insurance if I read Robert Rout right.
The Christian “Pitch” has changed tack over the years from the days when it was a club for disgruntled Jews, they then tried the Doomsday Cult angle, then the state religion of Rome, the crusades had Christians dabble in Genocide with Violence and Grand theft but this made them feel bad so they the Soul Redemption Business cranked up and Monasteries cashed in that Big time when the busy rich could pay holy monks to pray for them, Henry the 8th knocked that on the head when they made him look poor! Then European Colonization Brought new global expansion opportunities until Charles Darwin kicked in. more recently they tried to sell Happiness. Now they are acting like an insurance broker against acts of Nature..
I have to say those Ultra Pious Americans on the East Coast might be asking for a big refund from the Church about now. because the Real insurance industry is not going to cope well considering. What’s next? Environmentalism?
