The supreme value of the spiritual economy is humor
As consumers our first need is to be entertained. If we prefer funny to serious material we are only following spiritual law. By choosing funny rather than serious heresies we exercise quality control on the ideas circulated in the spiritual economy, and ensure that our religion is stodge-free.

Those able to produce humor will grow rich in the spiritual economy, meeting an insatiable demand, and rapidly advance to sainthood as their currency value takes off.

The rest of us can retail the jokes to people who haven't heard them. This is called missionary work, bringing the divine word to brighten up people's day.
