3.5 kinds of persuasion

There's the convincing argument kind.

There's the appeal to the heart kind.

There's the intimidation kind -- where you're not really persuaded but you act like you are.  Thus the point-five.

And then there's the intangible, contagious, I-want-to-be-part-of-that kind.  The kind kids instinctively respond to.  I know the people in the video have been recruited and trained; I'm not talking about their response.  I'm talking about mine as I watch.  This persuasion influences without trying, by drawing instead of pulling or pushing. 

Ray posted the video with a quote:

"The exuberant joy of the early Christians was one of the most potent factors in the spread of Christianity."

I loved this video. I feel it's an example of humanity's capacity for pure good: fun and surprise just for the sake of fun and surprise. Made my cold heart sing : )
