Sorry mate but I think that this is an absolute load of crap. Perhaps I have misread what you are saying, but you really believe that the value and "accuracy" of an opinion is based on the general opinions of those around you? Are you mad? Or have I truly missed the point of what you are saying? Obviously opinion is important, and everyone has a right to an opinion, but as with all rights, you are responsible that your opinion attempt ultimate objectivity by following logic and rationality. To hold an opinion for the sake of opposing another opinion is idiotic. Just because an opinion exists, or just because it is a societal opinion, doesn't mean that it DEMANDS some sort of rebuttal. If this truly is your way of thinking, your "opinions" are just as close- minded, rigid, and stagnat as the those "rooted in society" that you are so against. Subconciously hyprocritcal conceptual loop mate.
This is s joke.
Christianity refuses to reflect upon itself and understand the present. Instead of a reflection of beliefs and their relevance in our world, the church continues to refuse conceptual evolution and decides instead to masquarade modernization through such ridiculous methods. The Accessibility of the church has to do with its teachings more than its method of delivery. Assuming that the article and site are true and legit, then this is only a pitiful attempt by institutionialized "religion" to skirt around the true issues hampering its growth. The blessing of the arcbishop of this venture only serves to undescore the desire of "religion" to recruit those unable to logically and rationally understand themselves and their place for themselves. For me, the accessibilty of the Church could only be achieved through the revision of the Bible, significant texts, and the church structure, not through pitiful medium migration.
And just for the creator/owner/whoever of Church of Fools, who said that "if we don't like it, don't visit the site": I haven't visited the site--I have visited an opinion discussing forum where analysing and the perpetuating of arguments is purpose of its existence. This "if you disagree, get out" type mentality is truly one of the inherent problems of the church ideology in practice, and is utterly irrelevant here
