So recently I heard a quote from a member of the political rock group Rage Against the Machine:
"When you live in a capitalistic society, the currency of the dissemination of information goes through capitalistic channels. Would Noam Chomsky object to his works being sold at Barnes & Noble? No, because that's where people buy their books. We're not interested in preaching to just the converted. It's great to play abandoned squats run by anarchists, but it's also great to be able to reach people with a revolutionary message, people from Granada Hills to Stuttgart.[8] "
It made me ponder what would this mean for the Gospel of Christ and the channels we use to reach culture today? Does this have bearing on the "how"? I know RAGtM and Chomsky are probaly not the best examples but the point that is made i believe is valid. How does one reach out with out selling out? Or is this quote giving the green light to selling out?
