Misconceptions and reactions to IE Day

I'm seeing some little comments here and there. One person said he was going to "stay away from anything that has to do with electricity" that day. Another was concerned that IED was about a lot of SPAM being sent out.

Well, no IED is not about sending SPAM out. That is the one thing IED is NOT about. But I cannot speak for every Christian on the web and, lets face it, different Christians are at different stages of growth in their relationship with Christ. Some will do very immature things. Frankly, I'm more concerned about IED becoming a day for denial-of-service attacks on Christian websites.

As to the other comment, what can I say? The other possibly is that IED may see a catastrophe drop in web traffic along with Starbucks seeing an inexplicably giant bulge in sales. Not everybody goes to church on Easter.

But I think the likelier outcome will be that IED will come and go without too much friction and Christ will have some new friends and disciples. :-)

There is no need to ...
