The Roman Catholic Cathedral featured in "Where Two or More Are Gathered"
"Do you think that new religions could arise in Second Life and possess as much legitimacy as real life religions..?" That's the first question in a short but provocative survey posed by Soren Ferlinghetti, IRL a East Coast professor writing a couple books that'll explore spirituality in SL (among other related topics.) The answers to the survey will help him shape his studies.
Go here to take it, and discuss the questions asked there in Comments here.
Update, 5:45pm: Before taking the survey, you may want to read more about virtual cathedrals, mosques, Jewish temples, and other attempts to bring the divine into an online world, at this archive of stories.
Interesting. I was thrown for a loop a bit with the idea of downloading the brain scans, and the wording was a bit weird in the first question, but interesting anyway. I'd like to see where the survey results end up.
