It's Called Smoke And Mirrors Used On Sunday

You betcha - what ever it takes to bring 'em in. Kinda like a carney with a cane but a bit different. And the mind screwed think this brings them closer to the sky being that has never existed.

A feverish scramble to embrace technology — a category that didn't even exist when the last Hartford survey was conducted in the late 1990s — was deemed to be one of the most dramatic changes in American congregations in the decade-long study. Cutting-edge graphics housed inside inexpensive digs — an approach that is different from the palatial megachurches of the past — is the element of the equation that has helped increase the church from a congregation of just more than 40 people in January 2005 to more than 3,000 today. A 30-foot-wide central screen flanked by two 17-foot-wide side screens inundate the congregation with imagery while their ears endure a steady stream of 95 decibels worth of sound — a level comparable to that of a subway car at 200 feet.
