"In his 1991 article, “Christian Economics: The Social Conditions for Wealth” Australian Ian Hodge, wrote about his view that the fall of Rome was tied to religion: “Whereas Rome was hostile to productive labor, Christianity positively encouraged human endeavor” (p. 20). Those noble productive Christians today apparently do a mind meld of doctrinaire Calvinism with economic Darwinism. Beam me up! I’m trapped on a planet influenced by the John Birch Society and Christian Reconstructionism."
