...You’ve got grandkids. Do you feel like the Internet has coarsened our culture at all?
I’m nervous about our civic culture. I’m not sure the Internet is
largely the cause of it. It’s certainly the cause of careless writing.
People who get used to blurbing things on the Internet are never going
to be good writers. And some things I don’t understand about it. For
example, I don’t know why anyone would like to be “friended” on the
network. I mean, what kind of a narcissistic society is it that people
want to put out there, This is my life, and this is what I did yesterday? I mean … good grief. Doesn’t that strike you as strange? I think it’s strange...
...Have you seen evidence of the Devil lately?
You know, it is curious. In the Gospels, the Devil is doing all sorts of
things. He’s making pigs run off cliffs, he’s possessing people and
whatnot. And that doesn’t happen very much anymore.
No.
It’s because he’s smart.
So what’s he doing now?
What he’s doing now is getting people not to believe in him or in God. He’s much more successful that way.
