 Cyberfolks Friendly Guided Web Site Tours
Finding God on the Internet
Host
Sandra L. Toney
The Internet has been getting quite a bit of negative media lately due to the fact that pornography, sexual-oriented
magazines, and other distasteful items can sometimes be accessed by anyone (no matter how young) into their own
homes via the computer.
While this information is indeed true and troubling, the Net offers positive information as well and shouldn't be forever
shunned until you visit the uplifting, spiritual sites that will provide you with hours of entertainment and education.
While there are literally thousands of sites to visit worldwide, here are a few worth mentioning that should keep you
busy for some time.
Scrolls from the Dead Sea Page
This exhibit comes online courtesy of the Library of Congress in Washington, DC. For years, the Dead Sea Scrolls
have been a source of intrigue, as their authenticity has been questioned.
Here you will learn about the history of the Scrolls in five different areas: Introduction -- the World of the Scrolls, The
Qumran Library, The Qumran Community, Today -- 2,000 Years Later, and a Conclusion. You will be amazed at what
you learn during your adventure into the Dead Sea Scrolls!

This is a rather large site with tons of interesting reading available to scholars, teachers, and laymen alike. You will be
able to link to 11 different Bible sites, including the Swedish Bible, French Bible, and the Latin Vulgate Bible of St.
Jerome.

the best; linking to the above-mentioned locations will enable you to learn more about religion while having some fun at
