The availability of consumer goods has led many people to change their attitude towards God. As a friend told me years ago: “You keep talking to me about how Jesus is going to save me. I don’t need salvation. I need a good job and a credit card.”
The consumer mentality has also led many people to change their attitude towards children. Even if parents are not so crass that they calculate the benefits of ordering a designer baby, having children can become a consumer choice.
