Facegarbage? Should Christians Use Facebook?

I typed Facegarbage into Google and it returned the message;

“Did you mean Facegarbage?”

I had to laugh, as if Google assumed that Facebook could not possibly be garbage, or contain mountains upon mountain of the stuff, and I must have really been looking for a car repair service called ‘Facegarage’ lol! It must have been an omen!

“In the last days people will be lovers of selfies

Well I think (my humble opinion of course) it’s time we Christians came off this site that really is a piled full of garbage – nonsense, controversy, dispute, bad ideas, endless me-me-me selfies that make one want to throw up (sorry to use that phrase – I can’t think of one that describes the feeling in a more pleasant way), relentless random inaneness, slander – the whole thing being addictive as we diligently – whether we want to or not – compare ourselves to others which inevitably leads to unhappiness (a scientific study had determined that people are less happy using Facebook – what a surprise – I love the way it always takes a bazillion $$$ study to tell us what common sense would have already told us).

Let’s start connecting with and serving our parents, families, neighbours, close friends and church – not random people 1000’s miles away

So should Christians really stop using Facebook? Yep I think so. Most of it – 99% of it is worldly trash and bears no good fruit – no not even the endless debates that The Bible tells us to avoid but Christians seems to conveniently forget as debating is ‘fun’ – the tree originally being a seedy hot-or-not site now disguised as a better way to ‘connect’ everyone together.

Yes – Facebook connects all the wrong people together when you consider The Bible tells us to connect and care for and serve our neighbours, and says nothing about wasting away the hours and days and years of our precious lives connecting with people 1000’s miles away we never see in real life, or can look after with anything other than lip service. But then lip service is what the Devil is all about. Sorry to be a miserable party pooper, but I think it’s time we all accepted this huge waste of our time and service and life for what it is – and leave Facebook.
