found this on another newsgroup. hmmm interesting idea? [linkReligion: Log On for Salvation Newsweek May 31 issue - If people won't come to church, the church will have to come to them-or, at least, to their computers.

The church still has some kinks to work out: one user named his avatar Satan, approached the pulpit and began cursing; several other misbehaving users had to be logged out by site monitors via a "smite" button, and the first "live" sermon was interrupted when the ministering reverend's computer crashed. But with church attendance at abysmal lows-only 7 percent of Brits regularly show up for services-church leaders hope the Internet will help interest young people in organized religion.
