We build and worship at the temples of e-commerce and retail. We bow down before the altars of product galleries. We attend the sermons of advertising and entertainment. We praise and worship with our hymnals of reviews and star rating systems. We give our tithes and offerings at checkout. We memorize the scriptures of sitcom and film dialogue. We participate with the shrine prostitutes of websites, movies, and HD/3D TV. We spread the gospel of hobbies and sports and food. We make disciples of product lines and baptize each other with name brand clothing and accessories. All the while, we claim things like, “there is no God” or “I love Jesus.” False and false: we’ve got gods, and they’re not Jesus. And the heart of it all? Self-glorification. We are gods. We need. We want. We deserve. Amen.
