I'm sure all of you have been to someform of an internet chat room or something fo the kind. I mean facebook even has a chatting aplication on it. The problem with being online is that you can make sure that no one knows who you are or what you are like. This means that you can pretend to be a completely different person online. I for example could pretend that I am a 6 foot 4 body builder and anyone who hasn't met me wouldn't know if I was telling the truth or not.
This example is fairly harmless except my ego when someone finds out the truth. But the reality is that there are people out there who use this anonymity for worse reasons than what I just said. People tend to become bolder online then they would be if they were standing face to face with someone. Insults can be given without reprocussions from the person recieving them due to the fact that they don't know who is saying it. This can destroy peoples lives and in some cases it has. We as christians should refrain from this type of activity because God calls us to be better than this. Be good online citizens.
