THE NEW RELIGION.

THE NEW RELIGION
I have often heard it said that commercialism is the new religion. Tesco the supermarket chain has just opened  a new store at Westbourne Bournemouth in this old Methodist church. It is a beautiful building and no changes have been made to the exterior.The interior has been completely ripped out apart from the pillars and now it contains aisles of food instead of aisles between pews. It all seems a little bizarre.

Or maybe it's a little "bazare"! It's certainly surreal, is it open on Sundays? One wonders how many people are turning in their graves, not that I'm religious in any way, but I would always respect another's belief systems. Yes, the building is only bricks and mortar, but I guess commerce is all that matters in this case. Perhaps you should go and re-enact this:

Thanks for your comment on my blog. What an extraordinary picture! Have you any objections if I use it on my own blog? With proper accreditation and links of course. It would fit in well with my theme at the moment.
