We surely all agree that the internet is not an accurate reflection of society

Take Christians. Online they are all anger and judgment. The Christian’s I have met face to face are good people, who strive to alleviate pain, empower goodness and encourage community unity. All that without a single meme.

And this is true of other groups and demographics. The internet is like a negativity amplifier. We are not this ugly.

It's an interesting topic. Of course, on a place like this where everyone is anonymous, it's easy to "let it fly", and be all anger and judgment or whatever.

However, on Facebook I'm only connected with people I know IRL, and over the past few years I've been unpleasantly surprised by a lot of them. Not necessarily for holding a particular view, but for how nasty they are towards anyone with a different view. There are some people that are so bad that I'd really rather have nothing to do with them, including a few that are Christians. And again, these are people who know each other, interacting with each other - not like here.
