The Internet: A 21st Century Religion

   It should be safe to say that religion has become a main target of mockery in our modern age.  Following the teachings of something that cannot be seen or heard is ludicrous in a time where everything must be scientifically proven to hold weight.  Instead of going to church for answers to modern day policies and solutions we have found a new avenue of revelations, the Internet.  Most believe the internet to be a reliable place to find answers, but is it really?  We know next to nothing about the people that regularly post on websites.  There is very little regulation on what type of information can be posted.  Most know this, yet rarely question what they find on the internet.  How often do people read an article/story on a new discovery and actually take the time to read the study to confirm that it is genuine.  Not very often, yet they feel no shame in sharing said article as if it were fact.  These people blindly believe the teachings of someone they never met, on a subject they know nothing about.  It begs the question, our we truly more enlightened today, or blinded by a new form of faith
