I heard a lecture about religion a few days ago, which included a sentence that sparked a recognition of the impact of how the media entertainment celebrity iconography resembles former religious deification of the mundane. The absolute worship of superficial and exterior appearances which diverted the respect for the sublime that is of a gentle and magnificence into a bombastic display of grandiosity that is what people transfer the respect for the "divine" which is abundant in nature to the fabricated power cartels which dominate religious hypocrisy--the theme of this part of the lecture was on how human and animal sacrifice had replaced the profundity of respect and reverence for the process and power of the forces that generate life.
