Interestingly Not For Me

I saw a social networking website being promoted on my denominational news website and thought I would check it out. Well...this is not a true social network unless you are looking to date a Buddhist from Albania.

It's called myfaithdaily.com and seems far from being a site of Christian faith - various faiths maybe. It works almost like a dating service. All the searches available are made for those looking for a relationship or romance. You are even able to look up body types - as if...

It tries to reel you into it as if you would find great Christian insight and faithful thoughts, and then it asks for your horoscope and body measurements and other dating preferences.

For those of you who don't see horoscopes as but innocent things the Bible says:

Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches. Rev 2:29 (NLT)

That's right, you won't find it in the stars. In fact, this is what God told the people of Israel:

When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, be very careful not to imitate the detestable customs of the nations living there. For example, never sacrifice your son or daughter as a burnt offering. And do not let your people practice fortune-telling, or use sorcery, or interpret omens, or engage in witchcraft, or cast spells, or function as mediums or psychics, or call forth the spirits of the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord. Deut 18:9-12 (NLT)

Enough said.

You can find better social networking products on the web. Facebook and Myspace are better than this site. Don't waste your time, it's a loser.
