Dustin replied to Kara H Bickford's discussion 'Facebook.....good or evil?'"in my experience, christians have a persecution complex and feel that anything that goes against Jesus and the bible IS a direct personal attack against them as well. Perhaps it is sort of like this - let's say you have a wife who…"
Dustin replied to Kara H Bickford's discussion 'Facebook.....good or evil?'"yikes......I guess some Christians feel like 'family' means 'christian family' and anyone who isn't a christian isn't part of their 'christian family' and therefore should be an outcast.
Stay strong, you…"
Kara H Bickford replied to Kara H Bickford's discussion 'Facebook.....good or evil?'"Good point....why is there so much pressure to always be on good terms with family? Not everyone is going to get along or agree all the time so why is that an expectation? Just because you share the same last name??"
Kara H Bickford replied to Kara H Bickford's discussion 'Facebook.....good or evil?'"I like the analogy!! I told them the same thing, if they don't want to look at it don't freaking click on the link and read or watch it!"
Kara H Bickford replied to Kara H Bickford's discussion 'Facebook.....good or evil?'"They say I can believe or not believe whatever I want but they don't want to see it or hear about it."
Kara H Bickford replied to Kara H Bickford's discussion 'Facebook.....good or evil?'"Thank you for the insight guys. I created another facebook page free of family, for the time being. I didnt do it for any reason except to avoid the drama and dumb texts that come with some of my non-belief postings and shares. I think many of you…"

Milos Cakovan replied to Kara H Bickford's discussion 'Facebook.....good or evil?'"Don't give in.You have every right to have an opinion of your own, and are free to share it, especially on the internet. If they don't like it, that is their problem. If they want to cut ties with you because you disagree with them, it…"
Logicallunatic replied to Kara H Bickford's discussion 'Facebook.....good or evil?'"If they can't respect your views (even family members) are they even worth the hassle? What is the probability of reaching a compromise with them? If it is a slim chance, is it worth it? Is the stress of arguing with them worth the…"
Unseen replied to Kara H Bickford's discussion 'Facebook.....good or evil?'"Facebook. I have a page (no, not as Unseen) and it's such a non-part of my life that if Facebook folded this instant my life would go on uninterrupted."
Sagacious Hawk replied to Kara H Bickford's discussion 'Facebook.....good or evil?'"Family is as family does. If they don't treat you like family, then are they family?

Natalie replied to Kara H Bickford's discussion 'Facebook.....good or evil?'"You can do what I do. I also have all religious friends&family. In fact, my uncle in-law is a pastor.
