Is consumerism like a religion ? The big box stores are the churches and low prices are the salvation ?

Answer 1

Actually yes.

Consumerism can be defined as the effects of equating personal happiness with purchasing material possessions and consumption.

In effect, the getting of things, nicer things, more things becomes more important in someone's life than God.

This is in direct violation of the commandment: I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before me.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

Now that's a religion I can sink my teeth into.

"We don't save your soul, we save you money!!!!"
