I’m on an anti-liturgical spree! The statement of belief for the Church of Stop Shopping:
Reverend Billy in Times Square
Reverend Billy and the Stop Shopping Gospel Choir believe that Consumerism is overwhelming our lives. The corporations want us to have experiences only through their products.Our neighborhoods, “commons” places like stoops and parks and streets and libraries, are disappearing into the corporatized world of big boxes and chain stores. But if we “back away from the product” – even a little bit, well then we Put The Odd Back In God!
See the movie ‘What would Jesus Buy?’ (it’s at Netflix)–see WalMart exorcised. It’s a riveting documentary, with an eye-opening commentary on sweatshops and international labor practices.
For more “odd in god” see the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and be touched by his noodly appendage…
