Over the course of this term, we have been looking at
theology over the World Wide Web. We have viewed Twitter, looked at a parody
website called Ship of Fools and seen how Christians can poke fun at each
other, seeing how absurd their ways of worship can be, examined the Oxford
diocese website that tells us about events happening in a collection of
parishes of Oxford, placed several blog entries on the school’s homepage and
seen a virtual reality called Second Life.
In my opinion, theologians can gain a lot of information
about their religion and how to share it with others and if they so wished to
give or attend services on Second Life but cannot gain anything from Ship of
Fools and cannot say anything worth saying in the 140 characters offered on
Twitter for messaging others. I have enjoyed looking at the many ways to
perceive religion over the internet and have a different outlook on using
virtual realities, for instance, using them for religious purposes.
