The Invention of the Internet (And How Satan Runs Through It)
The Internet sure is filled with satanic lies and temptations but it is not always like this.

Introduction
The Internet is a system architecture that revolutionizes mass communication, mass media, and e-commerce by allowing various computers worldwide to connect. It is sometimes labeled as being a "network of networks". The Internet started to emerge in the US in the 1970s but was not visible to the general public until the 1990s. By the time of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, more than half the world's population accessed the Internet, especially through smartphones and so forth.
The Internet allows people to work from anywhere. It is also a spawning ground for e-businesses that promote most of their sales and services online but then, it is a web of lies as usual.
How does Satan exist online?
Some Catholics believe that Satan exists while most of them do not. Those that believe in Satan's existence are often conservative and obtain university degrees. I also find this most common among some daily, devout Catholic churchgoers around me, especially my dad who just passed away in August of 2023. He told me and even my brother that Satan is on the Internet, not just on pornography websites, but also on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and online dating sites, disguising himself as users who look unrealistic in which they use AI, or artificial intelligence, or other software and apps to enhance their appearance and surroundings to make everything look more attractive than in real life. It is no wonder there are scammers and predators on such platforms. People like that usually tend to post enhanced photos and videos of themselves to gain an audience and also to earn money since they either cannot get a real job, are too lazy to work, and/or do not like working in an office, gym, clinic, retail store, restaurant, or cafe.
My brother, on the other hand, is a fallen away Catholic who does not believe these things because he is misguided by non-believing, non-Catholic friends and even the Internet which they believe as well, especially false information about Catholicism.
Anyway, Satan also exists in blogs, forums, and other websites, especially those of mainstream news companies, by promoting fear, confusion and misinformation aside from social media doing that. Such fear and misinformation is not only common in secular blogs, forums, and other websites but also in religious ones as well, especially those that are claiming to be religious even though they are not. For example, I have seen religious blog and YouTube video post titles such as "How to Pray & Get Your Prayers Answered", "God Will Never Help You (Unless You Pray A Certain Way)" and even YouTube videos claiming that you should not pray the Rosary since it is considered repetition (Look up Luke 18:1-8 in any Bible translation about the persistent widow) and praying to Mother Mary and the saints being considered unbiblical and praying to the dead, usually created by Protestants, including those that are Born Again Christians, since they often tend to take the Bible literally.
And then there are job postings for jobs of all sorts that post too many requirements that people try to meet, especially in regards to education and experience. Secular websites would say that these requirements describe what the employer looks for in ideal candidates even though those excessive requirements are actually posted by employers who are being bothered and misled by Satan since most employers do not know what they are doing and/or are not religious at all, hence the DEI policies in their company (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, which also promotes LGBTQIA ideology). I've never seen it that much in companies that are conservative and religious. Their job requirements tend to be at least more straightforward and simple and they do not expect candidates to meet them perfectly, unlike most secular, or even liberal, companies, on average, despite not many religious, conservative companies posting on mainstream online job boards due to censorship which is why they would rather post job openings on their websites instead.
The Internet is not always evil
The Internet is sometimes a marvelous tool but it gets abused, even for selfish, Satanic purposes, especially in regards to websites and social media posts in which people present appealing lifestyles that do not relate to people in real life. The good part about the Internet is listening to music on YouTube or even Spotify as well as prayers and Bible scriptures plus recipes and how to clean and organize the house, and other things that are useful. So therefore, the Internet is not always the root of all evil like some people believe.
