Young people tell me that a lot of the high-tech worship is "cheesy". [They] witness some of the cheesy video and computer "art" in worship and see it for what it is: kitsch. Stock clip art: the sun shining on the cross, running streams, baby faces--all of the stereotypical images that say, "Christians are crummy artists and naive sentimentalists."
To them, such kitsch is like handing out illustrated kids' Bibles to high school students and telling them that these images represent the depth of insight and excellence of the Christian faith.
