Jared at The Thinklings asks why so many people have “seething rage” about the use of PowerPoint in churches. I’ll give you my quick answer: because PowerPoint is the devil’s tool. You see, a lot of us work in the corporate environment; any time you walk into a room and see a screen and projector you know you’re in for a couple hours of hell. If they turn the lights off, you might be able to get a nap in, but usually you’re forced to endure a horribly boring presentation (complete with crappy backgrounds and animated gifs), participate in “team building” exercises, and then take a test to prove you paid attention. It’s a Pavlovian response for us, Powerpoint=suck. When we walk into church, we don’t want to be reminded of work, we would like to worship.
