95 Theses- Hilary Kolodziej 10/20/10
In class today we briefly talked about the 95 Theses, and how the printing press had an enormous effect on the Protestant Reformation. This made me wonder what other inventions have had a dramatic impact on the transformation of religion. In many ways, modern technology has molded our nation, and we are constantly reinforced by the media and pop culture. For instance, the faith of Kabbalah has significantly grown and transformed the influence of the media. Celebrity icons like Madonna and her faith in Kabbalah, combined with technology like the internet, can take one person's personal religion, and popularize it until it becomes a fad.
