What Would Jesus Buy?




I don't agree with all of Reverend Billy's ideas about religion but I feel he uses the iconic street preacher effect to good use in a satirical look at the cult of buying in North America. The film What Would Jesus Buy is funny, engaging, and thought-provoking. It really examines the Christmas Season as it has been co-opted by Big Business, Big Banking (read: massive credit card debt) and even in some ways Religion, and encourages the idea that "you don't have to buy a gift to give a gift". 


Amen.
