THIS WEEK IN U.S. GOSPEL NEWS
Sure, you've heard of helicopter Ben, but did you know that high-tech faith now sanctions more than a (Southern?) 'network' of satellite hooked-up Evangelists?
Worship now includes ... helipads.
Can you imagine your money going for such a concept? I guess they didn't read The Christmas Rifle, an unintentional Christmas ... parody (?) on a Conservative blog.
Gives new meaning to the "Religious-Industrial Complex", yes?

A Federal Way megachurch [in Washington state] won approval Monday to add a helicopter takeoff and landing area, called a helistop, on its property.
Wouldn't it be simpler to just have another pastor? Or, would that defeat the purpose of getting, um, "blessed", with a "megachurch"?It will enable Pastors Casey and Wendy Treat of Christian Faith Center to shuttle by air between the 15-month-old Federal Way church and its Everett campus.
I read these things, and I cannot help but wonder why Billy-bob Kristol is worried about ... poetry.
