Second Life

In the Toronto Star and few other respected papers around the western world, there's a growing number of reports about second life - a alternate reality where youmake yourself up and there are no social/ethical boundaries. I understand that Reuters has an offic eis this world and has reports from it. In the star they say that people are making $5,000 (real money) a month from sales.
In the Austin Statesman it even says a church has been built and organised.
Midwest Dayton, director of the Christian group building the church by the lake, will reveal only limited real-life information about himself. For the record, he says he's a 50-something married father of three who teaches at a university in Oklahoma. "Temptation is temptation. Hearts are hearts. People call this a game, but there are real fingers on those keyboards," he says, virtual Bible in hand, standing before the small gathering of like-minded men whose stated goal is to spread the word of God in Second Life. "These are real souls that can still be reached."
It is true the gspel is the truth even in the the land of make-believe.
