I think the problem when it comes to Christianity is that there's a lot of subsects, which leads to a lot of confusion when you look at it from an outsider's perspective. You've got the Catholics who put saints on everything, have rosaries, crosses, etc. Their houses tend to look pretty traditional save for Jesus on the wall or a Mary holding Baby Jesus picture. They tend to be more traditional - sometimes. They're not big consoomers, at least where I am. Unless you count those candles.
Then you've got your Protestants (and others) who can range from a single cross somewhere to looking like a Christian Bookstore exploded. The hardcore Christian Moms that have biblical scriptures on every wall done in vinyl that they bought off etsy with 15 bibles they keep buying from stores because "You can never have too many!" and you can never tell what is going to set them off (or when they'll inexplicably lose their faith, throw all that away, and then tell everyone what a mistake it was).
Then there's the prosperity preachers which come off as Holy Car Salesmens for their Live Laugh Love Jesus books and Brand, even though when you really pay attention to their words, it's all empty. But BUY MY BOOK. SAVE YOUR SOUL. Like, fuck off.
It's why you need to be sort of diligent when it comes to all this when you're religious because something labelled "Christian" doesn't always make it so. And yeah, stop buying all that tacky shit at the Christian bookstore. You're better off making stuff yourself if it's that important to you and it can lead to creative outlets. You don't need to buy those bland faceless angel statues.
You can MAKE this and save yourself $26. Learn to whittle.
But nothing's really safe from greed. I get some little companies just want to survive and we've all already talked about a healthy ideal of purchasing items. But yeah, even in a religion that basically lays out that you can't take this shit with you (it's fine to have some stuff but don't think you're gonna have Funko Pops in heaven), there's consoomerism. It just means you have to take more care in really asking yourself if something is worth it.
Behold! /r/battlestations!
And not to be outdone, /r/gamingsetups!
I was taught in school that if you're at your desk all day, take a break every 45 minutes to stare out a window and readjust your eyes. This feels like this encourages the opposite.
I wonder how many "gamers" need glasses way sooner than they should.
