Why are Christians afraid of Myspace? Or for that matter, the internet?

because this is a new thing for them to experice\nfor example when lighting rod came out\nprecher were against it because they thought it was used to avoid God's anger\nif those christian (and other people) did their homework and watch their children and know who they talk to on the internet then we wouldn't have this problem

I agree with you, it isn't bad at all.  It's just people who make it seem bad.  I mean, the whole idea of myspace is to keep in touch with friends and make new friends.  No harm in that.  But, then you get stupid kids and perverted people on there that mess everything up and make it seem bad and all

Computer and internet aren't in the bible either. Should we stop using them as well?

it causes a lot of drama and problems between kids.. they always say their life would be less complicated and they would have less problems if they werent on myspace.. they also like it b/c its a way to find old friends and talk to your friends

MySpace was originally created for the music scene. The fact it is now a haven for teenie boppers and "HEY LOOK AT ME!" sites is ridiculous. Its another place for internet predators to do their thing. Parents dont monitor their childrens doings on the net. Just recently I saw a news story that a few kids were exchanging thoughts on a copy cat act of the Columbine shootings on its anniversary. The police were tipped about the myspace account and they kids were arrested. I think myspace needs to be monitored better and possibly put back to the roots it was originally made for. I mean there is enough other places to "whore" yourself.

Thank you for the warning. However, much talk has been going on about MySpace and it hasn't effected many users thoughts on the site. Sickos are everywhere, not only on MySpace, and honestly if someone was to say something like Heyy i'm Mary I live at 123 Chesnut Ave NY then there is something very wrong with them. Thanks for the warning though!

Delete it. That's what I did. Now I have so much free time to do things that I want to do, not being controlled by a website. I know it may be hard because you have like a million friends, but its so worth it. Myspace takes over people's lives, don't let it control yours.

I think that myspace has some risks, but you just have to be careful. Don't talk with people you don't know. Also be careful about things that are posted on your page. Sometimes people can have enough details on their page to be easily tracked down. Its just like anything else in life....you must use caution. It is very sad to think that myspace could be outlawed because parents don't keep track of what their children are doing on the internet. Hopefully it never comes to that. It has been such a nice thing for me. I have found alot of old friends that I had not spoken to in years. I love myspace.

I honestly believe MySpace is so popular because of flirting. If this sounds childish, it is. Not only is it childish, it's dangerous. Numerous child offenders have been found prowling in MySpace.\n\nMany have yet to realize, it is easier to diguise oneself on the Internet than any other place. Any man can learn to type and talk younger, and therewith fool youths into thinking he is one of them. Children, (and I mean 0-17 year olds) want to mature so fast, and parents are letting them. Yet, these children are hardly ready to enter the dangerous world of adults.

there are reports that ppl hav been like sexually abused and wut not but there are privacy settings that you can set so that only your friends can see your page and stuff.\n\n\nmostly its just parents being paranoid and scared that their "little darling" is gonna get messed with..... i think that the parents just need to trust us.

Christian culture is embarassing.  They always take mainstream culture and create their own lame version of it.  Christian rock, Christian metal, rap, Christian raves, myspace-like sites, etc.  \n\nThey take mainstream elements and use them to "witness" such as "got jesus?" t-shirts or the Intel advertisment take-offs like, "jesus inside," with the logo, etc.  \n\nFricken LAME

Computers have started to replace life for some people. They can shop, watch TV, date, socialize, and read the newspaper all from the comfort of their keyboard. People no longer recognize that it takes practice to be social. It is a learned behavior. So as they lose the ability to be comfortable in a social setting they isolate more and more in their computer. It is really a scary trend. I have never heard of myspace but I know their are lots of sites that have a full cult following.

Religious people are not "afraid" of homosexuality, they fear the creator, the one who has power over all things and the one who deals out punishment in the hereafter. Those who choose not to engage in things they or their religion deems as sinful acts only fear the one who will judge them for their good and bad deeds when this life is over. Fear of the things that people choose to do with their own lives has nothing to do with it.
