This is a metaphysics dialogue about consumerism-yoga, inspired by the fortune-prayer film Ruthless People.
Such a dialogue is symbolic for our commercialism-discriminating 'TrumpUSA,' no?

GOD: No ambition is worth exploiting others...
SATAN: Yet multiple civilizations found power through oppression!
GOD: Yes, but reforms and protests gave way to rule-by-consent.
SATAN: We still dramatize/romanticize our mistakes...
GOD: That's because the mind always seeks sentimentality!
SATAN: Why are outrageous comic book 'super-villains' so appealing?
GOD: Popular villains such as Nuclear Man and Mister Sinister symbolize evolution.
SATAN: So as civilization 'evolves,' man becomes more cunning (and ruthless!).
GOD: Primitive man was survival-oriented but very simple...
SATAN: Is our modern 'Starbucks Society' a paragon of avarice?
GOD: The teaching of Jesus Christ reminds us of humility, patience, and good-will.
SATAN: Why do so many youngsters seek intriguing danger or civil self-destruction?
GOD: Rebelliousness is a part of youth, and the way out of hell is through education.
SATAN: The American fantasy-adventure film Willow features a warrior protecting a baby!
GOD: Yes, Madmartigan tries to keep the baby Elora Dannon safe, and we pray for sanity.
SATAN: Maybe the Cabbage Patch Kids (harvest-themed doll-toys) signify consumer medicine.
