Don’t Like It If You Want To Go to Hell

I’d like to tell you this image reposted from Gizmodo is pure fiction. But anybody who has been on Facebook knows that like a lot of humor, the reason it rings funny is because it’s SOOOOOO screeching close to reality.

Manipulation, a little spirituality and a social network are powerful ingredients in the hands of the world’s worst evangelists it seems.

Any of this sound familiar, for example?

Post this to prove you actually read my posts.
Post this if you are a mother who loves your kids.
Post this if you have a woman in your life you appreciate.
Post this if you are against this disease.
Post this if you love Jesus.

For the sake of all that is good, people, let yourselves off the hook.

Even if you exercise your freedom (and intellect) to NOT re-post, the jury is out. You still care about your friends, love your kids, appreciate your woman, fight disease and love Jesus.

Also, while we’re on the subject, I hate to break it to you, dear friends, but no shopping cart system is down allowing you to buy ipads for a dollar. And Apple isn’t giving out free MacBooks to everyone who likes a photo of a bunch of Mac boxes either.

Manipulation, spiritual or otherwise, on social networks is just like manipulation in real life. Annoying. And in bad taste.
