The new Cathedrals

Yesterday I went to a place as an unbeliever and came out a devotee of a new faith.
Yes sir I believe, so what is this new rapture what religion has taken my soul where others have failed?
It began when I parked and walked with others on what turned out to be a religious pilgrimage.
I entered into a magnificent building of wondrous sights. It was full of majesty and awe. All people Jews, Muslims, Christians and Buddhists united under one clear message. I was astounded I went from place to place finally I found a place were I was to make my offering I gave it to the women she smiled all understanding and I was filled with joy I offered her my mark and she said "would you like our club card?" I declined.

Yes shopping at the mall is the new religious experience. You doubt me? What other large building do you go to on such a regular basis and with such devotion? Even the most irreligious man makes this journey. I know people who hate shopping yet they still make it, try getting them to something with any kind of spiritual dimension and you will not see them for dust.

But the mall the mall oh here its name and rejoice! . The devil of course has nothing to do with it (though you do have to show his mark or as we call it the credit card) he has been shoved aside by Mammon who beams down on you as long you have money or really good credit.

This of course leads to Christmas, yes Christ mass the time of year when Christianity herald's the birth of its savoir. But I doubt at any time we will actually go to a religious service. In fact if you go to any mall it will look great, loads of decorations and lights but if you really look at them not one religious symbol can actually be seen. This is because the new religion Does not tolerate any religion buts its own. Christmas is not a religious holiday but a winter celebration. Some see this as political correctness gone mad but for the new religion its fine as all faiths can take part in a winter celebration. Mammon loves it that way.

Yes the mall is the new cathedral in the past for a place to call itself a city it had to have one now every city is not complete unless it has a mall.

Happy (non religous or in any way spirtual) holidays!
