  The shopping centres are the temples, corner stores the shrines, credit card the indulgences, registers our communion,  the first bank account our baptism, the first loan our confirmation, advertising is the word, neo rationalist economics texts the good book, the dollar is the son, consumption is the spirit, growth is god, tax is the collection, television our alters, politicians the preachers, celebrities the high priests, economists the profits,  WTO and IMF the missionaries,  bankrupt the fallen, the frugal are the sinners, social security benefits are limbo, communism hell, and finally a six figure salary, with two houses, a large investment portfolio, 3-4 cars, private schooling, and a wine cellar is.... heaven on earth.....

  Just a side note on that article re: gaia theory. In year 9 science we learned about the theory of evolution and the teacher said it was only still called a theory because of the powerful opposition of religious groups. In first year university geography we learned about gaia theory and the lecturer said it was only still called a theory because of the powerful opposition of industry lobby groups. It occurs to me the consumerist-industrial-capitalist-perpetual-growth-world is really just a religion anyway :)
