Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! -- Jesus Christ, John 8:43-45

Whether or not the devil actually exists is, perhaps, irrelevant. What may be more important is whether or not that which is inside the devil --
evil, the devil's spirit -- is also within you.
As the Bible tells Christians, the way of the devil is in lying. The devil, the father of lies, will lie to you, telling you he has a paradise awaiting you, so that he can separate you from God, from the Source.
In web 2.0, the devil looks to separate you from the cloud -- to pull you into his own world, where you serve him.
To beat the devil in web 2.0, Christians and believers in the message of Jesus simply need to continue living their lives in accordance with the will of Christ. In heeding the message of Christ -- which is to tell the Truth -- Christians in web 2.0 can earn the trust needed to use commoditized technology to build their own cloud, which we talked about in
our previous article. It will thus be a cloud of the earthly realm that was made in reflection of the heavenly cloud in Christ's realm.
As above, so below.
Next time, we'll wrap things up by taking a closer look at the Truth, our invincible weapon against the Devil, the father of lies.
