Conclusion
symbolism
pp. 211-212
Abstract
It is no accident that we choose language loaded with economics for the purpose of this discussion, since theoretical economics and religion both operate on the level of abstraction. They both seem to simulate reality in order to gain grounds for increased consumption of their respective products in the era of commercial consumerism. Their efficacy in expanding their dominion seems to be only increasing due to technological developments and the similarity of their strategies toward their primary target, which is the subconscious.
