"I often wonder it God recognizes the way we've dressed him up, or is it dressed him down? He's a regular peppermint stick now, all sugar-crystal and saccharine when he isn't making veiled references to certain commercial products that every worshipper absolutely needs." -Faber

In this passage, Faber is referring to Jesus Christ. The description of "dressed him up, or is it dressed him down" suggests a critique of how religious figures, particularly Jesus, have been commercialized and transformed into something more palatable or consumable, likened to a sugary treat rather than a serious spiritual figure. The context fits best with a commentary on the commercialization and simplification of religious beliefs.
