joshWed, Dec 19, 2007 Christianity is the greatest marketing campaign that has ever existed. It survived on a diet of ignorance and subtle brain washing ala repetition. Once addicted to the weekly routine of seeing your communities socialites for a single day of warmth and community, you were isolated back to your mundane life. Leaving you nothing left to do but yern for the next Sunday where you would once again feel a part of something. A part of a community.
The internet has changed this dynamic. Anyone can now feel accepted into nearly any social scene and nearly any community without the didactic mantra of the church. People are now open to communicate beyond the boundaries of the church's spoken and written word. They are finding they do not need to rely on the comfort of that community in order to find fellowship.
