Christ chased the money lenders out of the temple. Muhammad drove the traders out of the Kaaba. In both cases, the idols of commerce and greed had driven the One God, the only God, from the Sanctuary. This is what the restoration of monotheism is always about.
But in our time, the goddess of progress has been enshrined everywhere. She was first widely worshipped in Britain, and then exalted as chief among the gods in America. And then the glorification of the machine and consumerism spread across the earth. Progress is history’s most successful fertility goddess: her chariot is the car, and her temple the garage.
The exaltation of progress represents the continual rape of the earth and perpetual servitude to her high priests, the corporatists. Progress is a devouring beast. Never is there enough. No sacrifice is too great to honor and placate her appetite. Her filth and noxious fumes poison the air, fire, water and earth, yet we are commanded to lift our hands and voice in praise of the pleasure that her refuse provides.
The earliest civilization of which we have a literary record, Atlantis of ten thousand years ago as mentioned by Plato, was devoted to progress- until she devoured the land and the island-continent sank.
But in our time the Prophet has once again returned; He has returned to break the backbone of the machine age by the car breaking his bones. This was his sacrifice to save not only America, but the entire world from the fate of Atlantis. The cult of the machine will perish and the earth shall live so that the one God, the only God, will be praised everywhere.
