    Then they truly do not believe.
    I am religious, and have faith. But I also enjoy reading fiction that some would find blasphemy. What I read does not shake my faith. If these people are so offended, their faith has been brought into question. Then they are not as religious as they think they are.

    My Girl Friends father recent passed. He was in his upper 70's and so was his siblings. Some of those siblings were unable due to health to make it to the funeral, so relatives brought their tablets and did video chat so that they could be part of the funeral.

    That is what I first thought was being discussed(I read the article) when I first looked at the title. A funeral where it was web broadcast to everyone, or everyone that would have had to travel.

    Seriously, the tin foil hat wearers use to read books on the subjects they believed in. Or subscribed to magazines that was geared to those type of tin foil theories. YouTube may have increased the number of idiots, but they were always around. And they always had material they could read on the subject. YouTube is not the catch all for the ill's of the world. Those ill's were always here, and just fed and nurtured in different ways.
