lifestyle television and the new sermon

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2005.01.08

I've decided that lifestyle televion shows have taken the place in modern society once occupied by the weekly sermon in Church. And I've written an essay about it.

God the Internet is a beautiful thing. With an Internet feed and enough research to make one's theories sound plausible, you can say/do just about anything you want.

I feel fortunate that I enjoyed the blandishments of modernity. I had hip replacement and root canal. I was able to travel on airplanes. I was able to take cheap food for granted. I went to the movies. I enjoyed rock 'n' roll. And now I'm ready to move on.
