Is the internet killing religion and churches?

[Hogie]

Way way off. The internet and the free flow of information makes it easier to unmask the wolves in sheep's clothing that occupy so many churches.

The Gen Yers are also a generation of people who demand more tangible evidence or proof when it comes to religion than those in the past who succumbed to social pressures within their societies to conform to church going and submission to theological leaders, all too often out of fear, and fear is a poor motivator.

While I see internet and media killing churches I don't think it's due to the "social" aspect, people still need REAL contact with other people. Rather with all the games and highly stimulating media available, people's concentration span for anything without high stimuli has dwarfed, and unless church is turned into a big production, they find it too boring. Yet "a big production" can be found in other places, like the media which can do that better. But really, that isn't what worship is all about, so worship services that try to match the "big productions" fail to meet the need it was suppose to fill. So they lose on that as well.
