    now you truly can get anything online

    Let's avoid fratching territory on this one. Despite my feelings for the LDS church, I must say I am impressed at their ingenuity. It is now possible to go through the entire conversion process (except the baptism) online apparently... I don't know whether to be impressed or terrified.

    This is sad. Religion and/or spirituality should be a personal thing. Taking missionary-type work online cheapens it, I think. But on the other hand, it would be safer for the missionary...

    It's too bad they say they try to dissuade arguing. I could have so much fun with that.
    "I look at the stars. It's a clear night and the Milky Way seems so near. That's where I'll be going soon. "We are all star stuff." I suddenly remember Delenn's line from Joe's script. Not a bad prospect. I am not afraid. In the meantime, let me close my eyes and sense the beauty around me. And take that breath under the dark sky full of stars. Breathe in. Breathe out. That's all."

      I'm rather surprised no one thought of this sooner. The internet is another way of reaching people just as television and the old-fashioned tent meetings were. It's merely a tool and tools can be used for good or bad purposes.

        this isn't anything that surprises me.

        back before the common man could read or write religion was spread by word of mouth

        then when reading - and the availability of printed material - became more common, the written word was also taken as a means of spreading religion. (plus don't forget the first book printed on a press was a bible)

        when radios were invented, so followed religious programming

        and then television

        to me this is just another media that religion is branching out to, in order to reach more people
        even my current church has a web page detailing the service schedule, phone numbers, and information from the weekly bulletin.

        come to think of it... back when I was in Virginia, if I was sick and couldn't go to Sunday Service,... well I would have watched the "shut-in" service on TV but my cable company didn't carry my church's network... but the internet did, and I could participate as best as I could by watching the service at my computer.



        now if that link had been an ebay purchase of a "clean soul" or something like that, I'd have been surprised.

        but this I already knew was available.
