How capitalism really works:

First someone works really hard to produce a good high quality product and turn that into a successful business which then becomes famous for its high quality item.

Then some faceless Corporation buys up that business and uses its good name to sell some cheap mass-produced piece of crap which people stupidly continue to buy because in their minds they associate it with the high quality item that was produced before even though that high quality item is in fact no longer being made.

This is what happened to Kentucky Fried Chicken and twinkies and virtually every snack cake that I can think of. It also seems to be what happened to Christianity.

Yah. Mayhap one of the secret herbs & spices is myrrh? Otherwise, yes, it's hard to see what the connection between Christianity & iconic pop culture fried chicken might be.

I guess, Op hints towards some evil corporation taking over Christianity and using it for its low purposes.
Which is, actually, very close to what really happened to the teaching of Yeshua Ga Notsri. OP simply chose an allegory that apparently appealed to him(her). KFC.

If the present trend continues for another 37 years in the same direction and at the same rate traveled for the past 37 years, the Christian faith as it is professed today by Christians will have disappeared from the face of the earth. In what form or by what instrumentality the mission of Jesus Christ will thereupon and thereafter continue to make itself manifest here on earth is as unpredictable as it is inevitable. --Benjamin H. Freedman


Though, this was written over 50 years ago.

Thread closed. This is the Religion and Spirituality forum, not the Corporations and One World Order forum.

Besides, a thread specifically about Christianity should have been started in the Christianity forum. (This one won't be resurrected there.)

Bizarre idea for a Religious discussion.
