Danas, u okruženju relativizma postmoderne, sve više ljudi u
“virtualnoj stvarnosti” računala, tj. interneta traži nov smisao, novo
utočište, nov oslonac, novi dom. Internet postaje ne samo sredstvo
komunikacije nego i okruženje. Sve to utječe na poimanje čovjeka,
njegove religioznosti i životnog smisla. Novi religiozni fenomen koji na
internetu nalazi temeljnu sastavnicu vlastite biti, redovito se definira
kao online religija i lakše se povezuje s razvojem novih religioznih
pokreta. Online religija živi se na forumima, chatovima, blogovima,
interaktivnim siteovima, ali uvijek preko simboličkog jezika tipkovnice.
Trodimenzionalna tehnika omogućuje da se na mreži na suptilniji i
poboljšan način nanovo stvara izvanjska stvarnost, dok se subjekt
može predstaviti kako god želi. Sve su to izazovi sadašnjeg trenutka
pred kojim stoji teologija i teološka misao.Nowadays, in an environment of post-modern relativism, more
and more people are searching for new meaning, new refuge, new
support and new home in a “virtual reality” of computer, i.e. of the
internet. Internet is becoming not only a means of communication
but also an environment. All this affects the perception of man, his
religiosity and the meaning of life. A new religious phenomenon,
which finds the basic component of its own essence in the internet,
is as a rule defined as online religion and is more easily associated
with the development of new religious movements. Online religion
is lived in forums, chats, blogs, interactive sites, but always
through the symbolic language of the keyboard. Three dimensional
techniques makes it possible, in a more subtle and improved way,
to re-create an external reality on the network, while the entity
may introduce himself/herself in whatever way he/she wants.
These are all challenges of the present moment facing theology and
theological thought
