If your a true believer in the bible which states how money is the root of all evil then why would churches even ask for money at all to build nice churches and the nicer the churches the nicer clothes that the audience wears is all thanks to money. If is truly the root of all evil then it has long ago corrupted the church and contradicting to the root of all evil by taking money from people at all so how can you believe anything when they support the root of all evil by asking for evil aka money. Also why did as corporations and nice buildings emerged the church also grew with it and they are even a non-profit organization meaning it doesnt taxed. hmmm seem fair? And why does the president go to church when all laws made that will we have to follow as a human race or else forcibly taken to jail when he has controls of these laws because they are created by him having no regards to the bible at all or even a reason to go to be blunt. and in god we trust to put on the acutal MONEY itself and for us to read it and see no problem is for the sake of being nice very contradicting! (3) How does TZM view our major social problems today? TZM is very different from the majority of Activist Communities or Political/Social Movements today due to the way it views the majority of the societal problems common to the world. In short, the Social System itself is considered the root cause, with Human Behavior and its resulting effects - corruption, pollution, wars, waste, exploitation and hence distortion of values and psychology - seen as symptoms of this fundamental root source. Modern psychological and sociological study has found that human actions are susceptible to environmental influence. What is rewarded by the culture tends to be perpetuated. For example, it is commonly considered a moral issue when a corporation engages in deliberate pollution to save money. Many outcry that the corporations people must be corrupt who would allow for such a thing. The flaw, however, is in the assumption. If we exist in a system that allows us to save money and hence be more economically efficient by being exploitation, abusive or indifferent, why should we not expect it to occur, especially in a system based on competition where advantage is always sought? In other words, corruption is being reinforced. Therefore the solution is not more laws to try and stop this behavior. The solution is to create a social system that doesnt reinforce or reward such behavior at all. Laws are mere patches that work against the internal logic of the system as it stands. And while TZM does have Food Drives and other programs working to ease the stress that is inherent to our current social model (which is, again, considered the fundamental cause of the 1 billion starving, unemployment, the depletion of resources and outrageous amounts of pollution and waste), it does not consider such actions as solutions for these only address symptoms. We see the shift of the social system as the true needed fix, hence changing peoples values and behaviors. Much more could be said on this issue. Please review our materials for more examples of how the current social order - specifically economic - is the root cause of the majority of our problems and defines our lack of sustainability.
