Where the Fully Automated Luxury Luddites discuss just what is going on in China to thoroughly unconclusive conclusions; Russia, gold, the dollar and the Rouble and how they are all now connected and there is a pseudo gold standard forming; Are we lucky?; Christian tradition/ethic and seeking absolution bleeding over into wider society and culture; the priority of property and money over all things; orthodoxy, evangilism and do-gooders; the media being seen as trustworthy and what can/cannot be done when discussing world issues with other people; the celtic cross as a racist image*; the media doing partial analysis dependent on propoganda; addiction to money; the state and scientism as the God head; when the party comes to an end.

It reminds me that even the most common symbol or icon can have a great deal of complexity attached to it.
Perhaps there is something outside of a religious context to be said regarding biblical ideas around engaging in idolatry.
