Check out this quote by David Wells: The Internet as Disembodied, Non-intrusive, Liberationist Utopia « Paradise Regained
Is the Internet just another 12-step program to free us from reality?

Theology and dogmatics, too, exist for the Lord's sake." — Herman Bavinck, Reformed Dogmatics, vol. 1, p. 46

Very interesting. Quote:
Here one meets others simply and only at the point of mind; gender, class, race, and religion have vanished in this virtual universe. And so has sin, apparently.....
The older stabilizing cultural norms have gone, as has the older moral world that spoke of obligations outside the self.
