Despite the theatrics of the reverend Bill it raises some pretty interesting points. How long can we send ourselves into debt while everything is commercialized including religion before we end up just the same as all those who live in the third world countries that provide the cheap goods.

Not much longer I'm afraid. Maybe one good thing about this bail out thing will be that we won't be getting all those pre-approved credit cards in the mail every other day anymore.
I think the worst thing this country ever invented was credit cards. Most people I know don't seem to understand the difference between "need" and "want".

I can't help remembering when Jesus cast out the moneylenders.. (out of the Temple area) and He said "don't make my Father's house a house of merchandise" - His immediate meaning was God's house the Temple.. but I can't help but think there was a broader meaning in mind, namely we these days, especially, have made God's house (the planet) into a house of merchandise.. It's like there is a whole other world that sits atop God's world.. which (natural) world may be fallen (or imperfect) but it's a lot better than the world man has made..

Another way to look at might be that we are all God's house, and that we are wrecking ourselves. Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately I have not seen this movie. I don't know whether I am under the third world countries you mentioned. It is not the goods that are cheap but the strength of your currency is to your advantage when you shop in the third world countries.

The strength of currency will only continue to fall. Unfortunately the workers in other countries wont benefit from this decline only the rich corporations that are intent on paying as little as possible to over seas workers. Thank you for the reply.
