White bread religion
randal
10:27h
Picked this up off a quote list today. In the "dynamic" religion that we are being promised for tomorrow, no ascetic discipline or special humbleness will any longer be required. It will be a hot-water bottle kind of piety with none of that gritty old morality it in. It will be a brand of faith that has been synthesized, vitaminized, homogenized, and capsulized, and it will be as ready-made for effortless consumption as that magically bleached, cottony, crustless, already sliced white bread which is the symbol of the modern American's massive superiority over the pagan bushwhacker. —Curtis Cate, God and SuccessI'll bet it was the Wonderbread company that coined the phrase, "best thing since sliced bread."
