And to the extent that Doug wanted this to become a meme about videos\/commercials reflecting cultural trends in views of religion, what better one can I offer than the one below (shared by Jim West<\/a>, Joel Watts<\/a>, and Jonathan Robinson<\/a>) about the consequences of not muting your cell phone in church?<\/p>\n But I won\u2019t spoil the light-heartedness of this post by offering a serious reflection on how subjects that in the past have been incredibly solemn \u2013 from giving to church to going to hell \u2013 are skewered and made the subject of humor in our time. <\/p>\n Also on a note related to the theme(s) of this post, Jim West blogged about a priest answering his cell phone during mass<\/a>, which with the proper symbolic interpretation has all the makings of a sacrament for this generation. <\/p>\n
