“..through the use of TV,the Internet...”

Our pastor awhile ago talked of how when God scattered mankind after the Tower of Babel, it was to weaken the evil in men. “Can you imagine what might have happened if everyone spoke and understood German when Hitler came to power?” His presumption was that EVERYONE would have been snookered into his beliefs. (I’m not sure it is the best analogy.)

But - with the internet of today, and much of the world understanding English (at least many of the leaders?) - I could see where Satan would make use of it in the final days. Heck - Satan already is using it to expand his power and deception.

The following may seem, aw heck, it IS hypocritical of me to say this but I believe the internet has allowed people to be meaner, bolder than if they were in person. I've said some things I would never have said if not for the anonymity of the internet. I think creeps like the guy who shot up the Temple in Pittsburgh get in niche sites and the echo chamber he gets embolden him to be more than a "keyboard commando" And we can expect more loners to "cook off" as they want their 15 minutes of fame.

What to do about it? I dunno. Maybe get rid of alias like "RedMonqey" would be a start. Make people responsible for their words. A good punch in the mouth used to be a good solution to a loud mouth.

And I've seen things I won't want my nieces and nephews to see at any age. Porn of all types, disgusting and utter stupid acts to get "likes" on u-tude and dangerous knowledge like making bombs..Again, don't know what to do about this but I didn't have to face this when I was a kid. And yeah, I see Satan laughing at our conundrum.
