The gods Sellers

You see them on buildings shouting promises of heaven. You see them on the freeway, proclaiming salvation. You see them on TV teaching the true nature of happiness. Buy this, attain that, use this, and drink that. Its everywhere you look permeating our society. There’s no escaping it, its here and its not going anywhere. If you drink this beer you can screw these kinds of women. If you use this shampoo you’ll be as beautiful and as loved as the woman talking about it. If you drive this car people will look at you with envy the way they should. Go to a night club and you’ll see everyone trying to live up to the add, look at the people driving those cars and you'll see them trying to soak up the envy. Look at the people, the beautiful people trying to look like a magazine add and live that life. Everybody’s trying, where all faithful worshipers.

I’m not the first to espouse this line and I'm sure that the above sounds pretty much like what you'll hear from your average tattooed, body-pierced, multicolored, tree-hugging activist. But even they worship their gods; even they try to look like the holly tree hugger in the sky. Even they try to worship their gods. Only theirs are righteous, and everybody knows that the righteous is also the most dangerous.
