It appears everyone is doing God’s work these days. From the bowels of the Vatican, the cities of Jerusalem and Mecca, to Wall Street, everyone is getting a cut of God’s action.
However, this new worker division for God is the best paying one.
The chief executive of Goldman Sachs, which has attracted widespread media attention over the size of its staff bonuses, believes banks serve a social purpose and are doing “God’s work.”
“We help companies to grow by helping them to raise capital. Companies that grow create wealth. This, in turn, allows people to have jobs that create more growth and more wealth. We have a social purpose,” he told the paper.
The dominant Wall Street bank posted third-quarter earnings of $3 billion and plans to hand out more than $20 billion in year-end bonuses…..source reuters.com.
Funny part about all of this, with all the people claiming to be doing God’s work, I do not see evidence of God in any of this.
If they are doing God’s work, I wish they would publicize God’s telephone number as I would like to have a conversation with their boss.
I absolutely agree. Life becomes a pursuit of wealth. And I thought is was about happiness. I’m fairly certain God wasn’t in the all-about-money business originally. Wonder when that changed? Thanks for your writing. I look forward to reading more.
Hi Yousei Hime;
We are the only life form that requires money to exist.
