Pastor Tim Challies of Grace Fellowship Church in Toronto, Ontario, has said that virtual reality pornography is the “next frontier” in technology, and is warning Christians about its harms.
Challies said on his website Monday that he’s had many opportunities in the last few years to talk about pornography and technology, and the risks that have emerged.
“The rise of the internet provides a ready example. When the internet first came along, we all dutifully signed up for accounts and began to explore this new medium. We surfed and chatted and downloaded and shopped,” he wrote.
“It was only a few years later that we realized that along the way an entire generation had gotten hooked on porn. It’s obvious now — what else was ever going to happen? But somehow nobody saw it coming. We saw the opportunities but missed a major risk.”
When charting the next developments in technology, he said that he’s recently been focusing on virtual reality, a broad term where immersive computer-generalized worlds are often designed to simulate the real world as close as possible.
The pastor pointed out that while today VR is most often associated with gaming, experts are seeking to bring the technology to the next level and mimic and even improve on face-to-face connection.
