Why are libertarian Atheists (who also happen to be overpopulationist and anti-[Iraq]-war) so over-represented on the Internet? <B>Guessing that those types of people don't have much to do</B>". </I><BR/><BR/>Well...er...I can't speak for the rest of <B>those</B> "people", but I for one have plenty to do.<BR/>But you ask a very interesting question. This atheistic tendency is nothing that I had particularly noticed in the past, but I could see how it might have arised. First of all, its going to be a primary function of the sites you visit. My guess is that the 'Beeb' (BBC) is going to lean atheist -- primarily because the UK and Western Europe are atheistic. Their candlestick blew out years ago - and they are now just coasting on the remaining ruins of a once great Christian civilization. So, I'm not surprised to find atheistic remarks on the BBC (Libertarian -- yes, that is surprising; Atheistic -- no).<BR/><BR/>But regarding internet users in general -- I can see how the internet would tend to attract more young folks than older, and the sad truth is that even in the United States, the younger generations drift away from the old landmarks. They probably were not instructed well when they were young. And Lord knows that they are subjected to non-stop brainwashing from television and the government schools, so that 'religion' will have been beaten out of all but the hardiest of them by the time they reach College ... That which was once known as being Truth, and of ultimate value, is now treated as myth and mush... But that being said, the internet is a good tool - and there are many resources for the religious bent, or for those that fear the God of the Bible...So go towards the good sites, and pray for those whom the 'god of this world has blinded the minds of them so that they are unable to see the light'.Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11555438888853184349noreply@blogger.com
