The church must acclimate to a changing world, or she will destine herself to irrelevance or even extinction. ...One of those dramatic changes in our environment is the shift from words to images. To do church in a way that is entirely text driven is the kiss of death.

Religion as a whole specializes in sin management. It's all about organizing humanity in such a way that we cause as little damage as possible.
