The Holy Grail is Dishwasher Safe

The TREVLIG sits chalice-like and only $2.50 Canadian, just another product in the IKEA bible. If you worship allen keys and untreated pine then you're already a convert. You may, indeed, have taken the lord's name in vain while trying to decipher assembly instructions in every language but English. The founder of this cult, Ingvar Kamprad , is now estimated to be the richest man in the world.

So how does IKEA compare to Christianity. Well, with thanks to The Guardian's facts on IKEA, there were 130 million copies of the IKEA catalogue distributed last year, more than the bible. 310 million people visited IKEA last year at 186 stores and growing in over 30 countries. In a related story it's estimated that twice as many Britons walk through the door of IKEA on a Sunday than do any church. I think it's safe to say we love to hate IKEA? anddddd, no-one ever really wants to go there on a Sunday. All hail the Billy Bookshelf.

Comments:
I dread teh Sunday's wher my wife wants to trod the halls of the Ikea.

The Growth of Ikea is much faster than that of early Christianity, however; I have yet to have someone knock on my door and ask:

"Have you accepted Ingvar Kamprad in your life?"
 
True True ... but maybe that's the next step. Young men and women in poorly tailored shirts and ties holding a catalogue .... have you heard the word on how well this Klappan sofa will make your life complete?
