An Elaboration of Corporatism's Connection with Heresy

Terms such as "heresy" or "heretic" are often misunderstood because they have become so uncommon. Allow me to enlighten:
Heresy is the act of altering the rules of a religion that one belongs to in order to better suite his or her lifestyle. For example, if a Catholic man were to suddenly decide that he would follow all the rules of the Catholic belief system except he believed it was okay to sleep around with other women. The man would be committing heresy because he would put his own needs above the basics of his religion and above the commandments that God has instilled upon him.
A heretic is a person who has committed heresy.

To be fair, any religion where we can ultimately find its exact origin through historical proof is a heresy. This may sound strange, understanding that all religions must start somewhere. While this is true, there are major differences between certain religions. Take Catholicism for example:
It began through Jesus Christ's life in the sense that, while he spread his word people began to accept him as the Son of God. When he was crucified, his legacy lived on, becomming a religion. Jesus did not found any religion, he simply spread beliefs that were accepted and therefore altered into an already existing religion.
A man such as King Henry VIII however would be considered a heretic. He created the Anglican Church to better suite his lifestyle. He took a Church that already existed and altered it so that, from his point of view, he would not be going against the church. OBviously Anglicans today should not be considered heretics because they are simply accepting a religion that exists as it is today. The religion was altered over the years to be less corrupt than what Henry VIII had intended and to instead embrace the basics of the religion (relying on christian faith) but altering it slightly to better fit what the religion was about. Because the intent was to improve the religion and the worhsip of God, and not to better suite a particular man or group's lifestyle, it cannot be considered heresy.

It would be an obvious question at this point to ask how this whole concept of heresy would have any connection with modern day corporatism. The answer, while based upon complicated explanation, is actually quite simple:

I will use christianity as an example for this because it fits the argument all too nicely, the concept can however be transfered to other religions and still make sense.
God proclaimed 10 commandments to the Isrealites after their escape from slavery. The first of these 10 commandments is "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me."
This statement says basically that no other person or entity (whether human or non-human) is to be worshiped above God.

Corporatism leads people to work day in and day out (in its course destroying the Holy Sabbath; another of the 10 commandments that is disregarded today) and with no other goal then to earn money. Sure the intention of money may be to support a family, to help others but can also surround selfish needs. Because of this people do not accomplish their full potential. A life lived below expectations and without attainable achievements is a sin.
Also, with the introduction of such entertainment as gambling (a mass product of corporatism) people become addicted and see money as the end-all and be-all of their lives. If they win, then they roam the town, drinking, going to strip clubs, gambling more. These are all sins caused by the almighty dollar.
This leads to other addictions caused by the capitalistic economy such as smoking and alcoholism. Both products are sold at high prices in order for large corporations to make money. I'm sure these same corporations do not mind that their customers are becomming addicts; it simply creates higher profits for them.

Even healthcare in the States is controlled by money. They seperate the treatment worthy from the unworthy by the patients annual income. This puts money above human rights and general human well-being.

There are obviously more capitalistic-generated arguments at hand, but I think the point is proven.

The other aspect that must be considered before the final connection is made is that of the new corporate wars that exist. They are referred to as wars on terrorism. I believe that the intentions of the soldiers fighting for freedom and for democracy are indeed to protect their homeland and to put an end to such acts as terrorism. Conversely, President Bush seems to have sent out troops in an effort to appreciate the vast amounts of oil existing in the middle-east. Now he has announced that he is sending troops into Pakistan and was not even able to give a straight, logical answer as to why. Due to past history with companies such as Halliburton, and the fact that Bush seems to have no concrete basis upon which to send in the army, the war seems like it exists for gain of the few while the masses suffer. War makes all men expendible.

Naturally there are various factors affecting a man's loyalty to the Church or any other organization but I believe that, in our modern world, capitalism and corporatism are the main sources and causes of evil. What I find ironic is that they are turned to as the main solutions as well. People have to decide, are they willing to allow corporations to be a cause or a solution to world suffering, because they cannot be both.
So these corporations cause people to live their lives based upon cash income and addiction, as well as personal gain of those behind the curtain.
This directly disobeys the first commandment which has been laid before Christians: Money is worshipped above God.
Capitalism is worhshipped above God.

If more elaboration is necessary, simply inform me of which parts lacked information and I will attempt to fill in the blanks. Also, I would like to assure any readers that I do not intend to offend in my entries. I do encourage all comments.

Kudos to mankind, we have failed.
