In simplest terms, corporations are the equivalent of the Colonists, CEO's are like King George, and human beings are like the "savage" native American "Indians" and African, Chinese, and Mexican slaves.
On the one hand, then, human beings are to corporations what the native "savages" of the rest of the world were to White Anglo Saxon Protestants, and on the other hand, corporations are to human beings what the pagan gods where to ancient Greeks and Romans. People pray or “worship” these “gods” eight hours a day or more, because “work is prayer,” as the Bible says, and “work" (i.e., only prayer) “will set you free;” a truth that adorned the entrance of Auschwitz, which was a place the embodied the culmination of the moral logic of the industrial revolution.
WASPs, in other words, think they are made in the image of their God, which must therefore mean they see "God" as a giant hornet (in the same way hornets are simply larger versions of wasps), even though hornets are actually a subset of wasps (in the same way religions are simply a subset of homo sapiens).
Monotheism was of course the first corporation of all, one that claimed intellectual property rights over the mind of God, and thus the mind of humanity on the whole, with warring religions all equally fighting about nothing more than who spoke infallibly for that God, and who was really speaking for "the devil."
Like Narcissus, then, monotheistic religions simply capitalized on its ability to teach whole societies of people to fall in
love with the reflection of themselves in a river as big as the sky, luring them with the very same promises of eternal youth, health, pleasure, and beauty which so routinely flash before our eyes in an endless stream of commercials, from an ocean of screens, until we all fall in and drown together.
All of this is symbolized in the "sacraments" (i.e., sacrificial offerings) of baptism
and the ritualized drinking of blood, and offered to a "god" which is
symbolized in an image of human sacrifice of the innocent, which means the only way to be "saved" from such a fate is to be guilty.
War, as such, is the highest form of worshiping and honoring the political pagan "gods" we call corporations, with Christianity and Islam, as well as Socialism and Capitalism, being simply different brands of religion battling over who gets to control human thinking, and therefore everything else.
Protestantism, in this respect, is simply a form of Christianity that freed itself from a King George in Rome, called the pope, in order to privatize the practice of selling God, according to the laws of free-market capitalism.
From this perspective, then, "god" is the father of all abstractions, and thus all lies, of which money and corporations, ideologies and nationalities, free markets and religions, are all nothing more than derivatives, all vying for the market share of the human mind.
