Summary/Abstract: Because of the ubiquity and usefulness of the internet it is sometimes deemed that not only the internet is a potent technological force, but that it is sacred. Views of some proponents of this view are critically analyzed. Paper concludes that for a believer, the source of all that exists is God and in this sense the internet is God’s gift or at least the result of human ingenuity which comes from God. The internet by itself is morally and religiously neutral and it is up to the moral dimension whether it is used for good or for ill.
