All people have a God-sized hole in them, and we all are struggling to fill it with something, anything; spiritual or physical, healthy or detructive, whatever we can do to try to fill that void, that emptiness within us. Unfortunately anything other than the one true God, the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob will not fill that hole.
Keep that in mind the next time you drive past any mosque, temple or mall. You do know that shopping malls are the new temples right? The next time you are wandering around your local mall, try looking at it in terms of merely being a large temple, something akin to what the Egyptians or Greeks would have built, devoted to the god of commerce.
Shopping is the new religion, and the mall is where the faithful go to worship.
