[Internet] technology, like anything else that mankind creates is a tool and that tool can be used for good or for evil, like a light saber. Technology is supposed to bring people together, streamline things and make life easier and in a lot of ways it does that.

So it's a tool that needs to be used correctly.

It comes when you realize that God is not outside of you.
