In the past few years, there’s been an epidemic of sorts amongst Christians–especially young(ish) Christians–who’ve been leaving the Church.
There have been many books written on the subject, such as
You Lost Me: Why Young Christians Are Leaving Church
and unChristian: What a New Generation Really Thinks about Christianity.
They talk about issues that bother young people, like Dennis, who says, “It just feels like the church’s teaching on sexuality is behind the times.”
Now, I admit there are problems with the church’s teaching on sexuality and science that might hinder the faith of some young people. But I think I know the real problem.
The real problem is that church is BORING.
In fact, Christianity just seems boring. Why be a Christian when you can play Skyrim, or look at lolcatz all day? 
It seems that Jesus needs some new PR: a new marketing strategy, one that appeals to young people and seems interesting to them, like the internet.
So how can the church compete with the internet?
The same as how the church competed with adult-oriented novels, children’s television, and 80′s hair metal:
By COPYING it.
So what is the internet up to these days? Let’s take a look at the top ten “meme’s” (internet sensations) of the last year.
So Let’s review. You’ve got Rebecca Black (obviously), Occupy Wall St, First-World-Problems.com (which I’d never seen before — thanks facebook friends for keeping me in the loop! jerks) which seems pretty hilarious, a flying cat (there has to be at least one cat involved, whether or not he’s playing piano), and Scumbag Steve.
At least it gives us something to work with.
Taking a cue from God, I am going to spend the next six days creating something unbelievably awesome: a sweet set of Christian meme rip-offs. If they’ve already been created, I’m just going to find them.
Today, let’s focus on just one. God started with the heavens and the earth, but we’re gonna start with Rebecca Black. Let’s make a Christian-parody, and call it Sunday!
Good idea, right?
BAM!
here ya go.
“God is my friend!”
A few more 12 year olds just got stoked on Church. Take that Satan!
“And God saw what he had made, and it was good.”
