The internet is neither good nor evil. It is a tool that humans can use for whatever purpose. If the person's intentions are good, then the internet can be deemed as good. The same holds true for man's evil intentions. The internet is mainly used for information. Thus, if the information that is disseminated through the internet leads to the benefit of others, then it has served its purpose. On the other hand, if the information causes harm, then people would perceive the internet as evil.

I agree with gabesmom. How does it go..."not what enters the mouth that makes a man impure, but what leaves the mouth." Something like that. The Internet does both good things and bad things, but only as people issue its orders. Some people have good intentions, others have bad intentions. The Internet just does what we make it do. Money is the same way. We can help people with it, or we can be greedy and indulgent with it. Not money, but the love of money, is the root of all evil.

I found it! "Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man."(Matthew 15:11)

Correct. "What makes a man dirty is not what he listens, but what he says". What makes the internet as it is, is not what it can do, but what human can do with it.

Internet is not evil, i daresay there are lots of evil men in the net. Internet has revolutionized almost everything that humans do in turn some taka advantage of it that is why they say internet is evil but the truth is the human who uses the internet in evil ways.

there's nothing evil in it's essence.. it's the way we look at things around us that can be evil.

I never believe that internet is evil. Internet is quite convenient and it has a great effect on people's life. If some say it's evil, it depends on who use it and how to use it.

that's right. it's the user to blame, not the tools used.
