But will either share the Gospel?

While I don't mind fun and amusement parks, I find this to be sheer commercialism and not a positive for the cause of Christ.

The below is a link to an article:

My hope is that they are doing this for the right reasons - to share the Gospel of Christ. However, I have my doubts. It brings to mind the current "entertainment" culture that many churches have adopted. Watering down the true meaning of sin, repentance, and obedience to the faith seems to be a growing trend in some Christian circles.

This seems like the next logical step...be entertained at church on Sunday morning by a "health and wealth gospel" and turn around and spend Sunday afternoon riding "Jonah and the Big Fish" roller coaster.
