"pop" church

what do you think about these?

cnn reports god goes online @ shipoffools.com

update: reuters reports "virtual devils curse internet church"

the new york times reports on "alt-evangelicals" and the christian "generation gap"

no time to post what i'm thinking, but i'm curious about whether anyone's starting to think the "alt" in alt-evangelical is a little shady, shall we say. more later (unless i'm struck down).
