Social Networking and Religion (part 1 of 2)


Spreading the good news is one of the things that Christians are supposed to share. Aside from inviting people to go to church, they have found a new medium to attract people and that is through social networking.

The idea came about after seeing how successful large social networking sites are operating. In fact, Christianity which is the largest in the world has a lot of them and since everyone believes in it, there won’t be any arguments there.

What makes this special network so different other than believing in the same thing is the fact that it is very easy for members to navigate in. The smaller it is the better so you can just imagine if this was done by a certain sect of Christianity like Catholicism or Protestantism.

The only thing you will see that is very similar to MySpace or Facebook is the features. Members are able to create a profile, add pictures, host a blog, post in forums about your beliefs and other important events. A blog is a great way to get a lengthy discussion when members are allowed to comment on them and you can reply in return.

So you don’t feel lost moving from one of the more popular social networking sites to this one, designers try to replicate everything to facilitate a smooth transition.

Since it is a social network that focuses on religion and family values, parents do not have to worry that much about the safety of their children something that you can’t escape from when you are a member of a large social network. A lot of incidents have already happened and sadly, many of those responsible are able to do it without getting caught.
