Power is god, wealth is merely one of the easiest ways to attain and retain power. But don’t discount the power of the cult of personality, “prophets”, “saviors”, and the allure of divinely appointed superiority of a “select” group of people. There’s dirt-poor motherfuckers who murder, steal, and rape without a second thought because they are of the belief their god approves and they have the power to victimize someone.
