Social Networking and Religion

Spreading the good news is one of the things that Christians are supposed to share. Aside from inviting people to go to church, they have found a new medium to attract people and that is through social networking.

The idea came about after seeing how successful large social networking sites are operating. In fact, Christianity which is the largest in the world has a lot of them and since everyone believes in it, there won’t be any arguments there.

What makes this special network so different other than believing in the same thing is the fact that it is very easy for members to navigate in. The smaller it is the better so you can just imagine if this was done by a certain sect of Christianity like Catholicism or Protestantism.

The only thing you will see that is very similar to MySpace or Facebook is the features. Members are able to create a profile, add pictures, host a blog, post in forums about your beliefs and other important events. A blog is a great way to get a lengthy discussion when members are allowed to comment on them and you can reply in return.

So you don’t feel lost moving from one of the more popular social networking sites to this one, designers try to replicate everything to facilitate a smooth transition.

Since it is a social network that focuses on religion and family values, parents do not have to worry that much about the safety of their children something that you can’t escape from when you are a member of a large social network. A lot of incidents have already happened and sadly, many of those responsible are able to do it without getting caught.

But will a child be delighted to sign up on a Christian network than MySpace? Many won’t but if parents are able to encourage their children, then this can happen because not only will they be able to maintain contact with their friends but they will also be able to learn about their faith and be close to like minded individuals.

Learning more about religion is not the only thing you can do being a member of a religious social network. You can also conduct business because people are more likely to do business with those that have similar interests.

To help you along, here are a few options.

The first is called Mypraize which is a Christian version of MySpace. After filling up your profile and security settings, you can participate in the moderated forum, talk with people in the chat room, join other events based on your interests and appreciate Christian music.

JCFaith is another. The only difference is that there are games, news and polls that will keep you or your kids entertained. The site is monitored by pay people and pastors.

Dittytalk enables members to customize their profiles and even their webpage. It has a built in messaging program so you can talk with ease.

Lastly is Xianz which people say has the features of all the three previously mentioned combined. You also get to post classified ads and also use the events calendar which will alert you when someone’s birthday or special event is coming up.

Religion has moved to the digital age as it uses this form of social networking. It is truly, a great alternative to MySpace and the rest.
