Am I the only one who sees the irony in this? Is this a case of 'better the devil you know than the devil you don't'? Or , 'be careful what you wish for'.

I agree with Kiwi_2005. The internet will not put an end to religious faith. If anything it will make it more accessible. Of course this applies to any sort of dogma, including Atheism and yes Satanism. Although there are truth seekers out there, I would wager that most people who visit websites such as these are doing so to confirm beliefs they all ready hold. It is easy to check facts and statements but this cuts both ways. To believe that any one person or organization has a lock on truth is dangerous to be sure , but surfing the internet believing what you find is unbiased opinion is foolhardy.

I find it hard to believe that in a world where big money and government control almost everything else, the internet won't fall under their influence. Speaking only for my self of course , I would have to be naive to think other wise. I hope it doesn't happen, but I've been around long enough to know better. It has little to do with "fanatical religious ideology" Skybird. "Money doesn't talk, it swears". I believe a Jewish entertainer said that.

As to "We shall not give up this freedom, never." , I'm right there with you buddy. Without freedom of thought and expression what is there?
