For so long the church has been deciding upon what is right, and what is wrong by silencing the opinions of others. The moral majority has deemed abortion, same-sex marriage, and the right to bear arms to be the sole focus of morality, but the information age is revealing the moral-majority 1) isn’t “moral” 2) neither are they the majority. “Fox News,” TBN, and the 700 Club are no longer the only platforms Christians can speak and be heard from. It’s now in the hands of others to decide what the ethical and moral focus will be.
Wouldn't say it is killing Christianity, but it is making people much more aware to challenge people of why they believe what they believe.
When I speak to the older people at my church who swear they know they bible off the back of their hand, many dont even know that Jesus real name was Yahushah/Yeshua and Gods name is YHWH/Yahweh, even though the very first page of their bible said LORD is a substitution, so when the younger generation starts to look this info u and ask questions, the older folks think they are heretics and need prayer.
The older generation just went by blind faith and just assumed everything passed down in good faith was truth and the internet now allows anyone to go back and look up history and see what they are taught now lines up.
The internet has also made this current generation aware of:
-How alot of Christian traditions started from Rome than the Apostles
-The true origins and roots of Easter & Christmas are not what we have been taught in church
-Many of the pagan symbols still actively being used in churches
-How we really came to worship on Sunday
-That 3 days/3 nights doesnt equal Friday to Sunday
-Access to the earlier bibles like the 1525 Tyndale & 1611 KJV etc to see all what have been added to the bibles over the years by translators to fit their belief/doctrine.
-And just quicker and easier access to info to see did God or Jesus really teach what the preacher is telling you.
But sadly the internet also allows people to take alot of the bible out of context and make absolute fools of themselves in the process(ALOT OF EXAMPLES ON THIS FORUMS ALONE OF THAT) of trying to put down God, Jesus, or the bible, so they can feel better about how they live and and end up with others following and being confused too and think what they are reading is truth, so its the blind leading the blind.

Yes, unfortunately the enemy uses the internet too to lead people astray.
The internet has empowered women. It allows them to communicate, and support each other world-wide. We connected with each other with DOS on bulletin boards. Now we have Skype, and social media, and newspapers online around the world.
When women no longer allow them selves to submit to ignorant, and weak men their lives are better, and their children's lives are better. The internet reveals. There is no hiding. There are no secrets.

For as much good the internet has been to reach out to those looking for the truth, so Satan uses the internet for his purposes. As you correctly pointed out
"(A LOT OF EXAMPLES ON THIS FORUMS ALONE OF THAT) of trying to put down God, Jesus, or the bible"
they try to excuse their hate of the truth by saying "it's your interpretation" \ only the parts that feel good aka "agape love".
The internet will not kill Christianity. Or Islam. Or Judaism.
But it will help reduce fundamentalism to tiny cults in backwater Podunks where they can happily tell their 19 members that everybody else on the planet is going to hell.
They know they're gasping their last which is why you get all the crying and breast-beating about imaginary persecution.
One "internet missionary" site alone, where I used to volunteer, have had over a 1.4 billion visits over the years, and over a hundred million people have indicated they have made the decision to follow Christ. Most of the visitors come from countries like Iran, China, India where people are hard to reach because many countries do not even allow missionaries.
Thanks to the internet, Christianity is spreading like a wildfire in places where it has not spread before.
Link please to where millions are converting to christianity through the internet
The Internet allows information to get out, which can expose people to ideas which are contrary to what they were taught to believe. On the other hand, it also allows extremists to network together and form their own echo chambers.
You could see who antichrist is , as it may not be some body born sometime in the future , but the internet is the tools of the social media who this antichrist will have it mouth , as the antichrist is a lot of people
The antichrist really is a lot of people, he is there in the mirror. But as far as naming the antichrist, the Messiah of Babylon, his name is Tammuz, has always been Tammuz, and will always be Tammuz.
