So, their god now has a FACEBOOK account to keep the numbers on???????

Last week, I was deluged (and these are people I know in RL!) by a link in FB:

"Ok, lets see how many True Christians there are on Facebook--press like if you believe that Jesus is your personal Savior"...or something like that.

My first reaction to this was, "How shallow", I mean...your god keeps his(and you know these people have the white male supreme being)numbers on FB? I mean, what about people who don't have a FB account? Does that mean your churches have to set up a network of computers just so computer illiterate followers can make they count???? Or are you so insecure in your beliefs that you have to scream it at the top of your lungs...sort of like those cars owned by teens that have more money invested in woofers than in cars?

Now, to be truthful, I am not a 'believer', I'm somewhere between Diest and humanist with a little bit of Pagan thrown in. It would be much easier in my life if I could just succumb to the hypnosis of "Juheeezzzzussssss is my personal savior."  I mean then I can rationalize everything by using the bible-everything is black/white -- no gray areas, I wouldn't have to think, I wouldn't have to wrestle with logic or anomolies....but I do, my makeup is to ask why? not, cuz it says so.

I guess another thing that always worries me is that many of these true believers have no problem with allowing people to die, become homeless, attack people that are different than them or believe differently--so this is what their god approves of???? And if asked about it, they'll yell about the churck is supposed to take care of widows and children(Paul's rantings--which he was speaking about specific cases). When I counter with what Jesus is alleged to say("How you treat the least of my brother is how you treat me" in Matthew while being asked by disciples how they could ever help him so they could get to heaven), they tell you that only applies to TRUE BELIEVERS....or they just walk away. In fact, they will also yell about their "rights" of religious freedom, but stample on everyone else's. Me? I really don't care who or what you believe in, and I'd defend your right to believe that--but I really doubt that most of these true believers would have enough respect to do the same for me.

But....then again....as I pondered these philisophical differences, another thought passed thru me---what if their god actually only has a twitter account and he only counts tweets??? I mean it is the newest way to keep informed and would god want last year's technology? 

Guess they're up the same stream as me.
