What you have just read above on the Gordon Nye´s cartoon is what John D. Rockefeller, Jr., the Standard Oil heir, delivered before a YMCA crowd at his alma mater, Brown University. His speech was entitled: "Christianity in business" (Heald, 2005: 41).
After having killed off his competitors, he knew fucking well what he was talking about.
So much for rockefellerian christianity.
