From my perspective as a Christian, it is silly. God is not a vending machine. Heck, the market isn't even a vending machine. God, or any diety worth their salt, is not a manifestation of the will of humans. Any god that is just that would be a paltry god.

The market is limited by humans to a great extent, and only exists because humans are the way they are. A God, IMO, would be greater and set apart from mere human action and desire.

I get the point you're making, I just think it's a bit silly and not a particularly good set of attributes to assign similitude to a diety.

My original disagreement was with "without God, man requires more government (in order to function)".

My point is the market accomplishes the same. Not only is God not required, but the actual market is a better fit, given that it actually exists.

If your choices are between God and government, and the former turns out to be non-existent, then your stuck with government. Throw a real market in there and you've got a chance.

The market doesn't solve many issues, it just facilitates many things.

I'll stick with God and no government. 😁

Aight 😊
