Only if there's a button near the bottom of the screen that links users to a place where they can send money to the church online.

no, online bible can never negate the need for clergy. Just like how some people do not feel the same wathcing church on TV as opposed to actually congregating in a church...you will always have clergy

I think the question you're trying to ask is 'will people become so advanced that they negate the need for clergy'. Truth is about as advanced as it will ever get.

No, human interaction is needed. When there is a death, the clergy provides comfort. Clergy officiate at marriages, baptisms, etc.

For those who depend on the clergy to read their Bibles for them, probably.

Don't hold your breath, but I sure hope so. It doesn't seem all to likely, though, as the Catholic Church is currently one of the largest companies in the world, with a total value well into the hundreds of billions. They also spread a lot of propaganda of things like, "You need to come to church and get the sacraments or you're going to hell." Unfortunately, the Church lives on. *sighs wistfully*

No -- that's ridiculous. For one thing, online or virtual bibles can't pray with a person, or sit with a family while their loved ones are dying, or perform baptisms, etc.
Clergy are here to stay, and I'm thankful for them.
