@Chuck, pretending to benefit and actually providing a benefit are 2 separate things. Does current religious belief offer no positive benefits at all?
@Adrian, This is how I see it. When I get on the web it's the same as me going down the street to a coffee shop or driving to the store. People can film me and follow me there. Just because my computer is in my home, doesn't mean I can eschew responsibility for where I go on it. I think, like many things,it boils down to intent. If people are tracking you via web or in real life with the intent to harm you or steal from you then it's invasion of your personal safety (not privacy). If people are just trying to determine whether you're legit or to market something for me.. why not, it's been done for years, why make it illeal now? I think those who hide behind anonimity or believe that where they go on the web is private are deluding themselves. (And that's coming from a Christian
I should know delusion right!)

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
