What does Love thy neighbor as yourself have to do with the banking crisis?

That connection seems rather odd to me as well.

1. The repeal of Glass-Stegal is the reason for the banking crisis.

That's rather questionable.

Profits don't come from "greed" (again an opinion)

Depends on precisely how you define greed. If you define it broadly then profts are more connected to greed, but greed isn't always bad. It can then be that "greed is good". If however you define greed narrowly, covering only illicit or seriously negative ways that the drive for income/wealth/gain/profit can express itself then your statement is correct.
