[12:55] moonpatrolpdx: aight
[12:55] triumph2nd: do you know much about it
[12:55] moonpatrolpdx: like internet evangilism? or evangilism?
[12:55] triumph2nd: like internet evangelism
[12:55] moonpatrolpdx: hmm
[12:56] triumph2nd: more specifically in web 2.0
[12:56] triumph2nd: user interfaced social networking programs
[12:56] moonpatrolpdx: hmm i dont know if i know much about that
[12:56] triumph2nd: like myspace or second life
[12:57] triumph2nd: preferably second life
[12:57] moonpatrolpdx: i know thre are certian ministries that have myspace websites
[12:57] triumph2nd: that's a start
[12:57] moonpatrolpdx: http://www.myspace.com/xxxchurch
[12:58] triumph2nd: jesus!
[12:58] triumph2nd: I'm at work man
[12:58] moonpatrolpdx: oh
[12:58] triumph2nd: that's funny though
[12:58] moonpatrolpdx: well anyways chech them out when you can
[12:58] triumph2nd: yeah
[12:58] triumph2nd: is it really porn?
[12:58] triumph2nd: i didn't look i clicked away
[12:58] moonpatrolpdx: xxxchurch.com the number one christian porn site as they say
[12:58] triumph2nd: how does that work?
[12:58] triumph2nd: slutty nuns?
[12:59] moonpatrolpdx: no its not porn its a site where they minister to people in the industry
[12:59] triumph2nd: ohhhh
[12:59] triumph2nd: i'm going back then
[13:00] moonpatrolpdx: instead of standing outside of conventions yelling at the people, they get a booth space inside and talk to pornstars, and give out bibles that say "Jesus loves porn stars" on the cover
[13:00] triumph2nd: woah
[13:01] triumph2nd: i see someone debated ron jeremy
[13:01] moonpatrolpdx: yeah the pastor of xxxchurch went on tour with ron and they had a debate series around the country
[13:01] moonpatrolpdx: thought they stand on oposite sides of the fence, they actually became friends
[13:01] moonpatrolpdx: was cool
[13:02] moonpatrolpdx: ron even helped them do a comercial to keep kids away from porn
[13:02] triumph2nd: what's their position exactly? porn is morally wrong for christians?
[13:05] moonpatrolpdx: im not sure what there exact mission statement is you would have to find that on their site but i would be willing to be that they would say something like, porn destroyes peoples lives, from the people involved to the people who watch.
[13:05] triumph2nd: oh hmm
[13:05] moonpatrolpdx: i read one of the dudes books and thats kind of the idea i got from it but it might say on their website or something
[13:05] triumph2nd: yeah, thanks that's actually perfect for my project
[13:05] triumph2nd: like exactly
[13:05] moonpatrolpdx: sweet
[13:06] triumph2nd: I am examing placement of scripture "Bilboards" in second life
[13:06] moonpatrolpdx: some of their videos are funny if you get a chance to watch them
[13:06] triumph2nd: evangelical groups put them next to ad's for porno to counter act them
[13:06] moonpatrolpdx: like pete the porno puppet
[13:06] moonpatrolpdx: really
[13:06] moonpatrolpdx: ha
[13:06] triumph2nd: yeah
[13:07] triumph2nd: like you'll be looking a an ad for a sex club in second life, then you'll turn around and see John 3:16
[13:07] moonpatrolpdx: weird
[13:07] moonpatrolpdx: ill be interested in all of your findings through your research
[13:08] triumph2nd: yeah I'll keep you abreast

I might develop a more specific area of research around these "porn wars"....
