In an interview right after Temple of the Dog released Cornell maid it apparent that the CD was a tribute to Wood, but each song was not about him or directed toward him. Reach Down and Say Hello 2 Heaven were both songs Cornell wrote after his death and were obviously about him. The rest were just songs that Cornell was working on and didn't really fit into anything that Soundgarden was doing. This was a perfect forum for Chris to put out a different kind of sound and album and still pay tribute to Andrew. That interview is on the internet somewhere, if I find the site I will post the url.
This song to me is in no way about addiction. To me its definitely about religious people who fill there homes with religious figurines and propaganda, because in some way they feel this will bode well for them in getting into heaven. Like it was said earlier, its also about the individuals who make millions selling simple people the idea that they can buy themselves into heaven. It pretty much sums up to me how ridiculous religion has become.
That was a very nice and elegant toning down on the previous guy, plus it looks you speak backed by a broad knowledge of what the guys said and "it's somewhere in the net". I don't think I've ever heard the song, but as soon as the songs by Temple of the Dog are costing the same other great musician's do, I'll make sure to download a couple.

@Outshined07 I think all of the songs on this album were relative to his experiences being friends and living with and his time knowing Andy and being a big part of his life, but I agree - I don't think every single song was about Andrew Wood specifically - I think moreso just about the time in which he may have known him and the situations that were involved in his life during the time in which he knew Andy that were relative to him and Andy during that time period and circulating emotions, etc.
