That is true. However, one problem with the internet is that a person self-censors what information he/she receives. So the internet can expose Christians to non-Christian ideas, but it can also insulate a Christian from non-Christian ideas. I see the future of Christianity as scattered groups of isolated extremists. Maybe they will live together geographically in tiny Christian towns, or maybe they will insulate themselves through the internet. Maybe it will be a combination of the two.
