And the People bowed and Prayed....To the Neon God they made

Five hundred years ago we were under the control of the Catholic Church. Since then radical changes have happened in the world and society in general, needless to say the Catholic Church no longer has the awsome power it used to have. Most of the populous of the world can now say that they are free of the Catholic Church, by free I mean they no longer pay a tithe and the Church now hardly has any say in the way the world goes now, they only shackle the willing these day. A partial reason for the loss of power of the Church and possibly even religion in general, is that we have become more cynical about worshipping great powers and there is now this, urge for lack of a better word, to go against the norm of society, or what you percieve to be the norm of society. In doing this we have turned to other things to better make use of our time, and they have become our shackles. As religion was our shackles five hundred years ago so have the media, gaming and entertainment industries become our shackles of today. Whether we like it or not the human mind can not stay in a state where it's devoted to nothing, at least not for very long. This being said, we will slowly begin to realise and society will experience an upheaval and the cycle will begin again.
