While watching the Colbert Report last night the "Passover Finger Puppets" were brought to my attention. Oh the irony. It blows my mind that such a religious holiday with the meaning of life instilled can be commercialized. Same thing with Christmas, it is no longer about the meaning, but the gift giving. So who's to blame?
EVERYONE. No single entity can be credited with the commercialization of religion. Our society has just become one that is focused on the main stream activity. If its' cool then you bet it is going to happen. Religion is such a sacred thing, I think it is forgotten. But I am not sure if there is a way to install the secrecy back. Once something has been commercially exploited, you cannot really take it as serious as you did before. But there is a way to further prevent it from this. If the buzz around religion slows down, I think some of the people who say they are religious will fade away and the true values will shine through. People are beginning to see religion is a meaningful tradition, not just a fade.
