Myspace is communism. Most people who add me I don't know, but then again it's only cause they like my songs or want to promote their music. When you can "request" or "delete" a "friend", I really don't think it can be a true friendship, much less even acquaintences.

In the age of information, can we really take it seriously if someone doesn't put us in their "top 8 friends" or even consider them a "friend" if it's over the internet? I hope it doesn't get to that. It is sad though when people do get mad because of these things. It's also sad when you hear about kids who use myspace to break up, say something mean, or even leave suicide notes.

I agree that we are not wired to communicate in this manner, it just is more efficient. If someone has any integrity at all, if they really wanted a healthy relationship, it should involve one on one interaction.

Oh, and you're right, God does not have a myspace, but Jesus has several.

Hilarious...Jesus has some pretty cool spaces.
I find it excellent that some of Jesus H's top friends are porn stars. (gojesus33ad)
Not excellent in a "let's go look at porn" way but in a "isn't that theologically appropriate!" way. Jesus H's friends are probably a lot more like the real Jesus' friends than any of us ever imagine...I mean the woman caught in adultery...zaccheus who sold out his own people to get rich collecting taxes from them for their foreign dictator...If Jesus were around today, do you think he'd hang out with porn stars and all sorts of other weird freaky people? Probably.

But it's important to remember, Jesus never accepted the behaviors. He would be the first to say, "Go and sin no more." But he didn't have to make them feel like crap first like so many "Christians" do today. Jesus inspired people to change their ways through his unconditional and limitless love for them.
 

what kind of ministry do you think jesus would do in this century of technology do you think he would have bulletined the desciples when he was ready to do something or podcast them a sermon would he have his own xm radio station to rival howard stern? what do you think
 

Jeremy, sorry for the long delay in reply. I've been thinking about this...

I must answer you two ways:

1) I think if Jesus were around in this century he would have done things in a similar fashion to the way he did them then. He would have spent most of his time in direct ministry to the Jews. Wherever the Jews are, he would be there first. He would also not avoid contact with the rest of the world. He wouldn't be all over satelite radio and tv. If he wanted to be popular, he would have gone to Rome...but he didn't. He stayed with his people...his close, small, tight-knit group and was confident in the fact that the world would come to him. Remember, Jesus was human, too. Those tight-knit relationships are the only ones that were there for him, most of the time...and probably the only ones he could go back to. As to how he maintained those relationships...it would be like family, living together, talking all the time, and yes, even emailing and im-ing. And yes, probably even blogging.


2) It's always important to remember that Jesus came along when he did for a reason. Consider faith in a readily visible through mass media God. Would it really take faith? And it's also critically important to consider if the world would be the same now without Jesus having already existed. Think...no Jesus means no Christianity...no Christianity no reformation...no reformation no enlightenment...no enlightenment no industrial revolution...no industrial revolution no modern world.
 

No modern world means no Mario Cart.
