Does God hold us accountable for the things we do on the Internet?

Does God hold some of the bad we do on the internet against us? I hope not because ive done some pretty bad things.

Lay off the dirty sites TC :lol:

Since I don't see it sez: "Thou shall not troll" anywhere in the 10 commandments. I say no. O: )

I sure hope not.

Sure, why not.................its not like he has better things to do.

Yes, just like the law does, I'm sure God would hold you accountable if you hurt someone several thousands of miles away. Because, believe it or not, people on the internet are real.

I've always wanted to see a study on this phenomena. This mindset many internet users get that doing bad on the internet isn't that big of a deal because said person isn't near by.

I killed so many people in Call of Duty 2 mutliplayer... I'm going to hell.

Yes.

You're going to hell for those stale mudkipz jokes because the Holy Ghost doesn't think they're funny... :|

I'm ceiling deity, watching you masturbate lolcat style.

[spoiler] In all seriousness, yes, He does. [big] Lies, watching pornography and more would fall under the commandments. Regardless if it's RL or on the internet. [/spoiler]

I'm not sure if god is technologiclly skilled enough to comprehend the internet in the first place :|

God only punishes Mac users.

Good question, let me just txt message him rlly quick brb...

Ya he says he is aware of your naughty lurkings on the internet and yes it is taken into account in your judgement.

No because he just uses the interwebz for the lulz. I wish he would respond to my emails, though. :x

I think a key difference is that you do nothing to directly influence someone in africa, but can do something that directly influences someones life via the internet and yet not feel guilty because of a lack of direct feedback. They are not nearby so you will likely never face punishment and also never face any social shunning for any actions deemed immoral.

I find it interesting as it shows to me that, without direct consequences, a normal person can do things that border on sociopathic.

We are actually waiting on an apostle to write a new book concerning internet sin. Besides Kanye West no one seems willing.Sajo7

And the eleventh commandment handed down from God to his apostle Kanye West read:

Thou shalt not continue to post any joke which has been made the caption of an image photoshopped to fit that often repeated joke, for that joke is then a meme, and repetition of it is sin.

Does God hold some of the bad we do on the internet against us?

kurama2002

Why wouldn't he?

I mean, I don't even believe in a god, or belive that god would give a **** about us even if he existed. But WHY would the **** that you do on the internet be any different than the **** that you do "in real life"?

Is looking at free internet porn fundamentally any different than going to your local porn shop and buying porn videos? The only difference here is the anonymity: the fact that no one actually sees you getting porn online. That could possibly save you some embarassment, but I fail to see what that has to do with ethical behavior.

Is going on a certain website and then egging a person on to kill thwmselves wrong when somone posts that they are considering commiting suicide? Again, that depends on whether or not you see online personalities as PEOPLE instead of just "things to laugh at". Why should an internet suicide threat be viewed any differently than if you were at work and a coworker threatened to slit his wrists? If you acknowledge that it was a REAL PERSON who typed the suicide threat in the first place, then how would you NOT be an ass for saying something like, "lol...do it, I dare you"?

Wrong is wrong. Not ALWAYS, but USUALLY. In any case, I can't see ONE single characteristic of the internet that makes it morally or ethically okay to do actions on the internet that we wouldn't do "in real life".

If looking at porn is bad, how does looking at porn become BETTER just because you found that porn on the internet? If non-internet porn is "wrong", then internet porn is still porn."

Maybe we generally do not perceive whatever influence we bring to the table over the net, to actually impact anyones life in any significant or meaningful way, because what can be perceived as meaningful or significant must be accessible to be experienced in the first place, kinda' like donating money to WFP ultimately being a lackluster experience when you take into account what impact you're actually having, compared to the "version" of what you are actually feeling and allowing yourself to experience.

I'm not so sure it's as much a key difference as it is added or reduced gravity to a facet. I'm not dismissing the idea though. =P

And yeah, regarding the final notion of your comment, that is interesting, isn't it. It certainly does hint a thing or two about the nature of things.

God is not the cause of what you do, he doesn't want you to do it, he can't stop you. >_>
