There's more temptations presented on the Internet than on TV. And the Internet not only provides the temptation, it allows it to be carried out in many cases.

It robs children of their innocence

And the Internet is full of nothing but cute, fluffy bunnies or something?

It desensitizes

And the Internet doesn't?

It mesmerizes and feeds the subconscious

And nobody ever gets wound up in anything they're messing with online, right?

It corrupts our values

And there is nothing but fine Christian values portrayed on the Internet?

It creates perceived needs

Yeah, there's no ads or anything online or nothing that people can read about that would lead them to those feelings, surely....

It creates godless heroes

And every character you can find on the Internet is godly?

It makes the viewer partners to sin

You can actually participate in sin in realtime online, let alone just watching something that portrays an evil.

It gives instruction on bad behavior

You can look up and print off instructions for bad behavior on the Internet. LOL

It promotes godless problem solving

The Internet takes God into consideration at every turn though?


It creates a false view of reality

But we all know everything you see online is REAL. From every buxom bimbo to every reported revival? *cough*

It fuels the imagination with negative images

Everything on the internet is so cute and cuddly and positive in nature, isn't it?

It teaches a "no consequence" lifestyle

Hey, it's just the Internet, it doesn't matter what I do or how I act here.....

It breeds unreal fear

YOU MEAN I'M NOT GOING TO GET A FATAL CASE OF HEMMOROIDS IF I DON'T FORWARD THIS MESSAGE ABOUT THE LOVE OF JESUS TO 47 PEOPLE IN THE NEXT 10 MINUTES!?

It promotes mistrust and cynicism

I trust everyone that I read about or meet on the Internet. Their all such honest, loving, truthful, transparent people...

It feeds self-centeredness and self-indulgence

The Internet makes me want to run out and feed all the starving children of Ethiopia (except for ones that believe in Divine Flesh.)

It breeds intolerance of deprivation and moderation

The internet teaches me to live a deprived and moderate life?

It destroys the attention span

"Man this thing is so slow....it's taking forever...why won't this page load!? *CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK......* *14 browser pages open at one time juggling back and forth*"

It creates learning disabilities

I'm a genius that's far ahead of my time because of the Internet...

It creates an appetite for entertainment

Oh yes, the Internet makes me crave learning and self-improvement. I never sit in front of it and vege out....

It destroys creativity

Googling and printing instructions for things I need to do rather than coming up with solutions myself makse me very creative.....you have to have really creative search terms to get what you want!

It hinders the reasoning process

Boy, I've become an ace at reasoning since the Internet came along....

It creates artificially induced stress

Nobody gets stressed out because of things they read on the Internet...I mean, if they did, there'd be posts on forums made by people saying they were leaving and never coming back because of the way everyone was acting on there....and they'd even type posts in tears...and some might even get banned for outbursts....

It promotes violent behavior

There certainly isn't any violence online.

It breaks down interpersonal communication

I think I'll email downstairs to my wife and ask if dinner is ready....

It desensationalizes miracles

Watching Benny Hinn on YouTube increases my faith! Glory!

It feeds the desire for supernatural and occult power

Good thing there aren't any occult-related websites....whew...

It can be habit-forming

Sometimes I completely forget to check my email the 45th time of day...

It is addictive in nature

If they ban me for this, I'll use a proxy server to get back on there and tell those people a piece of my mind....


It is damaging to our physical health

I am exhausted from all this typing....I must've burned 4 calories by now...


It offers escape from reality and responsibility

The internet is real and it makes me want to be a more responsible individual, doesn't it you?

It is a waste of time

Reading about Ruth Reider's brother's wife's sister's dog getting it's toenails clipped is of vital importance....dishes and lawn mowing can wait....

Right?
