The Almighty vs. the Almighty Dollar at the mall

I saw a poster at the Galleria last week.
   “In God We Trust,” it says.
   It’s on the office door at the Town of Wallkill mall, just off the food court.
   I asked a shopper who was eating some pizza at a nearby table what she thought of it.
    “I think it’s nice,” she told me. “It’s patriotic.”

And that, my friends, is just how confused we are right now. Under the current regime, we’ve got patriotism and religion all mixed up together in our heads. There seems to be no distinction between the Virgin Mary and Betsy Ross.
   I didn’t just stumble upon the poster by accident. I went looking for it after getting a call from a woman named Christina Murphy, whose sales job brings her into stores throughout the region.
   She’s seeing God everywhere she goes now.
   “It’s a growing trend for corporate America to use God as a sales weapon,”

Another snippet

A God poster at the mall is nothing more than a shrewd marketing trick – and a way of supporting an evangelical president who’s been very, very good to corporate America.
   So, happy Fourth of July. Be sure to catch the sales at the mall in honor of our nation’s birth. You can trust that God wants you to.
   It says so, right on your money – and on the mall office door.

Dear God, Please get me to the mall safely.
