Why a believer should not argue online

Likes, views, subscribers... These things are taking people's heads right now. almost any age. Coronavirus significantly affected not only the economy, but also the usual pastime of people who would not have thought of monitoring this before.

The usual image of a believer for us is extremely far from these concepts, right? Today’s trends dictate their rules to everyone. And now the Internet is full. Representatives of all religions and worldviews. Our behavior on the Internet, although it is due to upbringing and the way of things we are accustomed to, is still influenced by some common rules for all social networks.



Going every day on the same Instagram, we gradually change our perception of the world and begin to act accordingly. And even our grandmothers, who downloaded the application just a month ago, are already ready to engage in long-term debates in the comments regarding the correctness of cooking borscht, a photo of which was recently posted by a friend.



I am sure that for believers Communication in social networks is still a test. This is a whole new world, where you definitely should not go with your way of life. But I want to! So I want to start teaching everyone how to live, how to tell how to live. Many, for example, for a long time can not get used to the fact that most of the information on the network You should not take it seriously..



Of course, you need to question and critically analyze almost everything on the Internet. The very concept of a “reliable source” is missing. But a lot of people are not used to it. And especially those who recently picked up the phone just for calls. Adapt to a new environment It is gradual and with a great deal of caution.

Believers try to follow God’s instructions and not create idols for themselves. That’s just not to fall into dependence on likes and the number of subscribers can be very difficult. Especially when you're a little old. Feels a taste of popularity and attention. Unaccustomed to such things, a person can easily lose his head.



I wish he'd just lost his head. Believers will spend the evenings after endlessly flipping through the Instagram feed blaming themselves for what we are all really prone to. Love of likes and thirst for new subscribersUnfortunately, they are not the worst yet.



Returning to the topic of worldview, it is worth mentioning our sometimes very intemperate life-teaching. This happens in everyday life, but there is no restriction of information on the Internet. Your post with sharp (for someone) ideas and statements is available to a huge number of people.



Of course, there will always be people who tell you that you are wrong. And what about a believer and godfearer? You can begin to argue carefully, trying to prove your opinion. But most often this dispute snowball develops into something like a scandal in the comments under some photo...

I am not a believer and I have never been. I have been living in the Internet for a long time. Everything here is familiar to me and there are no temptations that I can quickly fall for. But I'm extremely curious. People with a completely different outlook and how they see the wild world of the modern Internet. Share your experience with me and our readers!
