That’s the title of Justin Buzzard’s piece:
| Like most other new things, Christians tend to either embrace Facebook uncritically, or retreat from it and condemn its use. Embracing technology uncritically—the “bear hug,” as I call it—means using a technology without thinking through its impact on yourself and others. The “cold shoulder”—ignoring/retreating from/condemning a technology—is often driven by misguided fears and shallow biblical interpretation. While the problems with embracing uncritically are more easily discerned, giving a technology like Facebook the cold shoulder also has its problems. |
A pretty good piece, I would say. In it he gives nine ways to not use Facebook as well as six ways to use Facebook to love God and others, and care for your own soul.
Maybe he pushed me over the Facebook cliff. 😆
But I still say that Facebook is The Budget on steroids. If that doesn’t connect for you, it’s OK. 😉
