Worship Sells

It seems as though people in the marketing profession are really the most spiritually sensitive people in our culture. They know what we think brings us life. And so they dangle that "life-giving" thing in front of us, "If you have this you'll be a real/wonderful/strong/whole person" or "get this thingy and your life will be fun/exciting/meaningful/beautiful". And so most of us go with it because we've been trained to consume with out much thought. I think it because we worship without much thought. I'd call it worship because I think humans are designed to seek life and awe and meaning. If we don't take time to consider what we believe gives us life and then turn our affections toward something that really sucks out life rather than gives life, we become idolaters... and the marketers smile.
