Technology has always shaped worship. 🔥🔔📜

Fire, bells, manuscripts, icons, architecture, microphones, livestreams, and digital platforms all structure how people gather, remember, pray, and encounter the sacred.

The modern world did not invent technological worship. It inherited it.

Mann und ich diskutieren gerade die Teilnahme des Kleinen am Religionsunterricht. Ich würde ihn gerne für das zweite Schuljahr abmelden, da ich die unkritische Indoktrination nicht unterstützenswert finde. Ich habe Mann vorgeschlagen, dass wir eine #Bibel kaufen, ich mit dem Kleinen die Geschichten lese und thematisiere. Er war nicht so begeistert, weil ich u.
