I really wonder why a group of people are referred to as a generation. It sounds like robots. By the way, I'd like to correct the math in my previous post. 200/300 is 2/3, not 1/3. Sorry to all of my nonexistent followers.
Wouldn't it be sweet if Jesus existed in a total social vacuum? I'm sure he'd be busy blogging, no doubt. Disciples are hard to come by nowadays, especially on blogspot. No, I'm sure JHC would fare much better on Twitter, where people follow people, just to get noticed by the people they're following. It's a frightening trend in today's crowded social networking-sphere. Blogspot, however, still affords us with more expansive and nuanced expression. Twitter does serve a pretty sweet function though. For now, it humanizes celebrities. Whether they're getting some Starbucks or strolling down the strip in a caddy, it gives us insight into the poor state of celeb grammar. I wonder what Jesus' twitter account would say?
@Christ: Yo. Just made some converts today. Their really into it. Gotta call dad and tell him the news.
@Christ: @JudasPriest - Hey man, that shikse in the front row is mine! F off man!
@JohntheMon: @Christ dude she's totly into u man. tell judas shes got the chlep.
@God: @Christ I'll give you thirty bucks to mow the lawn tomorrow.
@Christ: Guess who's going on a cruise to Greece for the wknd!
@Mary: @God YOUR CHILD SUPPORT CHECK WAS DUE 3 WEEKS AGO
@God: @Christ Hey man can I borrow 30 bucks?
I suppose the Bible would be much different had Twitter existed 2000 years ago. For one, it'd be 90% @ signs. On the other hand, if Twitter was around in year 18, we'd have waaaaaay better technology today.
