[Dr. Eckleburg]

A fascinating similarity is that both groups look to dead people for some kind of guidance and reward.

As Martin Luther wrote in his 95 Theses...

83. Again, "Why are funeral and anniversary masses for the dead continued and why does he (pope) not return or permit the withdrawal of the endowments founded for them, since it is wrong to pray for the redeemed?"

[Quix]

That is a very sobering reality worth some more pondering.
