My friends, let us pray.
Please God, if there is a hereafter, a life after death, I implore You to make it a life without commercials.
I beg You to spare me from all the fucking products being thrown at me everywhere I turn. Oh, God, please excuse my language, but You must try to understand how dehumanizing it has been living in a world where someone is always coming at me trying to sell me something. Surely, there is a place in the Universe, in the Spirit World, that is devoid of all the stuff and those who hawk it incessantly.
“Yea, though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil:”
IF...... You will give me but a signal that I will be free from the ubiquitous advertising that has so battered my spirit. Please Lord God, promise me that there is a place where I, a former human person, will not be turned against my will into a mere consumer, but can, instead, be free, to transform myself into the soul I was meant to be.
Amen.
