How the Internet is Killing American Christianity

Anonymity has provided the ability to expose maltreatment, ensuring the safety of their personal reputation. Bloggers such as Matthew Paul Turner have shared these platforms to those who might want to remain anonymous but call out authority in which they view to be unethical. Although many have foregone the option of anonymity. The fact of the matter is if you want to ruin a career or threaten someone’s pastoral position all you have to do is access a laptop and locate free Wi-Fi.

For so long the church has been deciding upon what is right, and what is wrong, by silencing the opinions of others.  The moral majority has deemed abortion, same-sex marriage, and the right to bear arms to be the sole focus of morality, but the information age is revealing the moral-majority 1) isn’t “moral” 2) neither are they the majority. “Fox News,” TBN, and the 700 Club are no longer the only platforms Christians can speak and be heard from. It’s now in the hands of others to decide what the ethical and moral focus will be.

Sadly enough the dehumanization that we see in our world is not ending, but it will no longer be in the hands of the fundamental right, this so-called “moral majority.” It’s said that “until the lion learns how to write, history will always glorify the hunter.”

White evangelicalism as we know it has taken a fatal blow, a mini-coup is in place, and the power is shifting.
