Facebook and Faith
I enjoy keeping an eye on Mark Sayers’ blog - I like that he’s working hard to ask why we do what we do.
His podcast today has some interesting questions for the Christian who uses Facebook.
Can you use facebook without creating a hyperreal version of yourself? To what extent can you let your facebook page define your identity? Does facebook create a new age of radical accountability or a new arena for showing off?
check it, especially if you talk to youths who use the interweb. or if you are one yourself.
