listening to this song 7 years ago I was fascinated by it, but I couldn't quite hammer out what it meant. To some, the meaning is apparently obvious. and to others a little harder to gather. I found my camp with the latter. I read an article and it's meanign made the most sense. It said, "drug store Jesus is about a leader who uses religion to not only give people what they want to hear, but also takes something in exchange for what he gives." So, said the artilce, TBN preachers or prosperity doctrine promoters more then likely would fall into this camp of turning christ into a drugstore and sacrificing the miracle. whatever the meaning it's a sobering song.
