Mass Media Manifesto

When I was in theology, I made some notes to myself entitled "Mass Media Manifesto." I plan to dig them out Any Day Now to see what I was thinking. I was reminded of the notes by a friend from those days:

I remember (I think it was you) saying that the "Mary Tyler Moore Show," which was popular at the time, was a dangerous show. We said, "Why? She's so nice!" You said, "That's the thing--the show makes it seem as if you can live a complete, happy, full life without faith; it showed no lack in her life, no hint that life without God was incomplete."
