Cheryl Anne Casey asks in her article, Online Religion and Finding Faith on the Web, "Is cyberspace becoming the new - or the new - sacred space?" She points out that "cyberspace is frequently taken for granted as profane space, but it is indeed a sacred space as well, as can be noted not only in specific sites, but in the non-physical - and therefore potentially spiritual - properties of cyberspace when taken as a whole." I find it somewhat difficult to agree that the internet is a sacred place just because some of it's characteristics can be paralleled to spiritual things (it is bigger than ourselves like God is bigger than ourselves). I would rather look at it as that the Internet has taken the place of spiritual things rather than it saying it is sacred.

God is supposed to be first and foremost in our lives but often things take his place. Things that might take his place are money, power, and success but that does not make money sacred. The internet is another ones of those things that takes up a lot of our time (sometimes too much of our time) and that can often take the place of time spent with God. It is another filler in our already over-busy lives.
