According to the Clergy / Economists, there is an all-knowing, all-powerful God / Market that rewards the good and punishes the bad.
If you are poor and suffering, you must have angered God / The Market.
If you are rich, you must have pleased God / The Market.
No government can or should attempt to control God / The Market.
God / The Market is a fickle, unknowable, unpredictable beast that might occasionally destroy your entire hometown, but that must still be your fault somehow.
Being angry at God / The Market is like being angry at the weather, or gravity.
You can't expect anything from God / The Market - you are entitled to nothing from the power on high.
You can pray, you can beg, you can hope - but you are entitled and rude if you expect anything good from God / The Market.
