On Friday, July 19, 2013, Todd Starnes published an article amid growing online social controversy regarding Christian complaints that Facebook is unfairly blocking their pages. Starnes wrote, "In recent months, the social networking website has come under fire from conservatives and Christians who said their pages have been either blocked or banned because of ?abusive? content."
"); }Some of the commentators complained of religious discrimination plus they resent "filth" they feel Facebook shouldn't allow. In response, a commentator on the article suggested a well-received "alternative" to Facebook:
How about a Christian alternative to FaceBook called "FaithBook ". Although thome may thay we're making fun of Daffy Duck. Sorry, I couldn't resist.
One of the most recent Christians to join this chorus of complaints is Kirk Cameron, who first achieved stardom acting in ?Growing Pains." Currently, the actor turned Christian activist, is promoting his new film,?Unstoppable.? Starnes reported that Facebook blocked Cameron's
promotion of his movie trailer because the links were reported to be ?abusive, unsafe and spammy.?
It pays to have a large following of friends on Facebook. After 250,000 Cameron fans joined his online crusade to force Facebook to back down on the block, the social giant capitulated to the online pressure to drop the ban.
In the meantime, whether half in jest or a serious desire, an online call flowering for a Christian social network often pops up generally following outrage over what is considered by Christians to be religious discrimination. Unfortunately, "FaithBook" is already taken. It's possible to check out the site currently carrying that name by signing in with Google, Yahoo!, or even Facebook.
Tickets are available for.Cameron's movie, "Unstoppable.? It's a one-night, live event 8 p.m. EST on Sept. 24. In the trailer, Kirk says he came out of a harrowing trip to discover why God allows bad things to happen to good people with his faith "that good is stronger than evil and faith is stronger than doubt."
Cameron might have added, "And united, we are stronger than Facebook." Perhaps Facebook should remember that when they declare "war on Christianity."
