He thought it would be fun to learn how people react to women. What came of this was that he established a love relationship electronically with a lesbian woman whom he could never meet. In time this love relationship between this lesbian and his false Internet self became more important than his marriage, and he ended his marriage with a divorce. While not going this far, I suspect that more and more Christians will be lured into false presentations of themselves through the Internet. Addiction to deceptions made possible through this technology is already widespread.
Computer technology raises a whole new set of theological questions for the church.
I am just wondering if the church is ready to deal with such questions. Perhaps the greatest technological threat to Christianity is television. Not only does TV make millions of Christians into bad stewards of time, it conditions us to not pay attention to anything that is not entertaining. Church becomes boring by comparison. Furthermore, the unassuming things about Christianity, such as theology, just do not broadcast very well and tend to be downplayed.
