Hope Thanksgiving and the Barrets was fun. I also hope that the evil place you are going to visit this week doesn’t do too much damage.

I like the feel of Prezi. Are you playing with the free subscription, or the paid version?

Thanks Ben!

Todd, I will try to get you a link. Mine definitely don’t compare to the examples given, as they are VERY well done.

Comment on Objectum Spirituality by Dave Smith

PART TWO:

But not only do we still show our signs of idolatry in the longing for things and experiences, there are some who say that idolatry is also the REDEFINING OF GO. That instead of worshipping Baal or Molech, maybe we still redefine God to fit our box, worshipping our own version of God instead of who God really is?

In the most in-depth study ever done on spirituality and teens a few years back the research concluded that today’s teens have created a moralistic, therapeutic deism…in other words, teens have created their own God as a “divine butler and cosmic ginnie.” Researcher, Christian Smith explained:

“By moralistic I mean being good and nice . . . By therapeutic I mean being primarily concerned with one’s own happiness in contrast to focusing on glorifying God, learning obedience, or serving others. Finally, by deism I mean a view of God as normally distant and not involved in one’s life, except if one has a problem one needs God to solve. In other words, God functions as a combination divine butler and cosmic therapist.”

Idolatry is attractive because it puts us in control. We can create our own God, adding stuff we want and subtracting other stuff we don’t like.

Prezi reminds me of having an artist illustrate key points from a presentation or group discussion as it happens in order to reinforce visual takeaways (a fancier example as seen at http://www.rootlearning.com/www/learningMap.htm ).

Prezi looks very interesting. Will give it a shot. I would like to see one of your Prezi presentations.
