WASHINGTON - [Jeff] Bethke is not a pastor, a teaher or even a divinity student. He's a YouTube senation whose spoken-word poem "Why I hate Religion, but Love Jesus" has been viewed more than 19 million times since Jan. 10. Bethke admits his theology, as he puts it, may not be "airtight," but his delivery--with his shaved head and sloganeering--offers lessons for churches looking to get young people into their pews. He attends a Seattle megachurch called Mars Hill and strives to practice what it preaches. [link]
