Marshall McLuhan even goes so far as to say the Medium IS the Message. Not sure to what extent I agree with that (it could just be hyperbole), but to say that "the methods change but the message stays the same" is somewhat naive. The methods change the message as surely as if the content had changed. Thanks Jenny! Marshall McLuhan even goes so far as to say the Medium IS the Message.

When it is delivered as easy and amusing, it is another kind of religion altogether" SO true. You make some great points about the medium impacting and significantly defining the message. I had not thought of the fact that a message presented on a blog, vs. a newspaper - has an entirely different impact. Great blog! “Christianity is a demanding and serious religion.
