Dave, that reminds me of the time everyone thought using the
com-pu-ter would enable them to work from home every day,
exhibiting the endless possibilities of that old dream,
virtual reality. The idea of a DVD supplanting church is
ridiculous; the idea that “megachurches” would forsake their
obligation of worship on Christ’s birthday is quite another. This
reminds me of a conversation I had once with an evangelical family
member of a friend. When I asked her what denomination she was, she
said “Just Christian. I don’t like to get all caught up in the
dogma.” Far be it for me to criticize someone who found her faith,
but isn’t dogma important too, particularly, say, when it comes to
attending church on Christmas?
