Despite dire warnings
of internet terrorism we've seen remarkably little political hacking, and
nothing from the Christian church until recently. 
05 Feb 2008
There have been a few viruses that carried political and occasionally religious messages but this is the first case the Sleuth can remember where the Christians have got involved. Whatever happened to turning the other cheek?
On one level I can understand the growing fear of atheism that appears over the internet among the religious. Some atheists, Richard Dawkins in particular, are remarkably stupid with their cleverness.
While one cannot conclusively prove the existence
or non-existence of a god there is nothing to be gained in the debate by
insulting someone's beliefs. As the 17th century philosopher Baruch
Spinoza said "I have striven not to laugh at human
actions, not to weep at them, nor to hate them, but to understand them."
But the decision of some
Christians to hack a MySpace page, bomb an abortion clinic, or beat someone to
death like Matthew Shepherd shows a profound insecurity of faith. Surely if you
are confident that a god will recognise truth then that is enough. Bullying is no answer.
