How to make spiritual connections
More than just an Internet connection

So it's almost Quinquagesima, and you know what that means: Lent is right around the corner. Know what you're giving up this year? How about that horrible feeling of alienation -- that Gen X angst that's always bringing you down?

You need a dose of faith. Something to believe in. Someone or something to care about. Maybe it's high time to expose your soul to the guiding light, via the Net. The Net's ease of use makes it a simple matter to sample religious communities and views 'til you find something that seems right.

On the other hand, if you're really open-minded about theology, you could spend a long time sampling the Web's congregations. If you search for religion, you'll be wading through information for eternity. But if you stick with it, you'll find what you want, because it's available. That's a promise.

Whether you want to absolve yourself or find the closest church, the Net is the chosen land for religious and spiritual resources. And we're not just talking about mainstream faiths here. An abundance of data on every belief from New Age to cyberculture religions is out there, not to mention such spiritual alternatives such as tarot or even yoga.

You won't just find Web sites. You'll find the masses flocking to newsgroups, chat rooms, and mailing lists in an effort to make a spiritual connection. Don't worry about getting the hard sell. We haven't seen any evidence of badgering or recruitment online.

So what's stopping you? There's no guilt, no collection plates, and no one watching (well, maybe HE is). Dig up some RealAudio hymn links and some incense, and you can almost pretend you're at Mass. In cyberspace, no one can tell if you're genuflecting.
