Indeed it does, except for the young part.

I think social media is responsible for many of the bizarre expressions
of hate and anger that lead to suicides, killings and other actions.
What is missing is direct human to human interaction and the mutual
feedback that results. In many ways "life" has become a big video game
and some of the crap that is being produced by movie makers and cable
network productions only serve to re-enforce an artificial world.

If only his mind hadn't been poisoned to hate Christians by the left-wing media, he could have gone to a local church and been immediately accepted and loved by the congregation. That's what churches really are; a large extended family that takes care of one another.

Those, like harry, that preach against Christianity because of the words and actions of a tiny percentage of sick individuals have done a huge disservice to our society.

If I'd been YKW, I'd have deleted that word. But, that wouldn't have been very
honest.

Agreed. Most of my grandkids keep their heads buried in their smartphones.
