Would mossy be able to say "poop"?



Seriously though I don't think its a bad idea to have something like this.

I think social media is part of why we're in the mess we're in --- maybe social media can help get us back to where we need to be.

The rules seem a bit strict for me based on what was here (600 words on the list? Really?)... but I am of two minds. I don't think Christians should abandon the secular world, and Facebook is a place where lots of discussions happen today. We do need some Christians who are willing to be examples of Christ and perhaps provide a Christian POV in the public forum. On the other hand, I understand that some people just want (or need) away from certain influences, and I can respect that.

I say we burn facebook and anything that resembles it to the ground.

Yeah, it's kind of like a "retreat" to a "safe zone", but we still need to be "in the world" but not "of the world".

I don't think 'dirty' words is the reason for, even partially, or a symptom of the moral decay of the world. I've seen forums where Christians and Catholics go to great lengths to avoid saying a word like 'penis' or 'vagina' even though they'd be perfectly sensible words within the subjects. There's a difference between avoiding vulgarity, and simple adopting a prudish attitude.

Heavy moderation always leads to stilted discussions, with risks of turning places into hug-boxes, because smiling and being peppy, and not-negative, is seen as being holy.

I'm reminded of one forum I used to be on that had one member (incidentally, who attended Osteen's church) who would (from a Christian perspective) complain that others were too negative and complain when people mentioned subjects such as death. She dismissed Shakespeare as too negative, and didn't respond when I pointed out the existence of the book of Lamentations.

She was trying to become a better she!

The mention of 600 curse words reminded me of Tim Hawkins' "Christian Cuss Words" sketch.

Trust me on this Cerealman, don't try thinking too deeply on it.
