Christian facebook pages disturb me
July 16, 2014 at 3:12 pm
https://www.facebook.com/TodayChristian
Seriously read through the comments on the uploads. No questions, no discussion. All just people saying AMEN and Yes over and over again, like a program. Disturbs me and reminds of something out of 1984.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

It basically is 1984, complete with thoughtcrimes and multi-generational punishments if you read the book of their celestial dictator

I thought that surely your were exaggerating...
That's pretty sad :/
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a goddess, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed

Thankfully I broke the surface tension with some comments of my own

Yeah, until you've looked at all the porn, why bother with the Christian Facebook stuff.

Chances are that any posts that don't fall into the 'Happy, Clappy, Jesus wants me for a sunbeam' category are swiftly deleted by the 'Happy, Clappy, Jesus wants me for a sunbeam' admin and thus, you are left with a page exactly like the one you have there.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould
