Facebook is pure poision

[GoingByzantine]

Facebook was supposed to empower people to share their voice, their life and their values. Instead it has become a place to demean, harass and intimidate people who dare to speak an opinion that does not conform to what the media is promoting.

I've gotten to where I can barely stand Facebook anymore. the only reason I stay on it is it's easier for me to share pictures with friends and family and keep up with my kids, cousins and relatives that live far away. And also I have found out news, such as someone being sick or in the hospital much faster than the old fashioned way of phone trees.
but I've been mulling over deleting my account for a couple of years now, especially after yesterday and it's OK for liberals to post their stuff and shove it down our throats but it's not OK to post Godly stuff or your a hater.

Happy to see lots of rainbow photos on my FB today, and also other people less than happy about it. The people with rainbows are happy and lighthearted, but the others are mean in response. One person said she wanted an eye roll icon for FB, others are deleting their FB. Go right ahead. Shrug.

I've completely seen it the other way around. People posting their rainbow pictures and throwing nasty comments across others who post they support the biblical definition of marriage. It's a horrible battle. The rainbow belongs to God first.

This is just a general comment and not directed at the quote above.
They got want they want...they can get married. Fine. Do it. They have been doing it for 10 years in Canada already. Now they can live happily ever after on earth and then Face God at the judgement. I will continue to love and pray for their souls. However, I won't stop saying I support the biblical and traditional marriage.

"The rainbow belongs to God."

Omigosh. Laughing out loud indeed.

 

[WarriorAngel]

i dont understand the whole rainbow thing.
It came as a promise from God He wont flood the earth again.
What does it have to do with gay lifestyles?

 

[Hetta]

If you Google it you can find out. I am not posting links that others will report.

It appears they arent sure either.

It has been suggested that Baker was inspired by Judy Garland's singing "Over the Rainbow" and the Stonewall riots that happened a few days after Garland's death (she was one of the first gay icons).[3][4] The flag also strongly resembles the ribbon colors of the WWI Victory Medal, though no connection is evidenced. Another suggestion for how the rainbow flag originated is that at college campuses during the 1960s, some people demonstrated for world peace by carrying a Flag of the Races (also called the Flag of the Human Race) with five horizontal stripes (from top to bottom they were red, black, brown, yellow, and white). Gilbert Baker is said to have gotten the idea for the rainbow flag from this flag[5] in borrowing it from the Hippie movement of that time[6] largely influenced by pioneering gay activist Allen Ginsberg. The flag consisted of eight stripes; Baker assigned specific meaning to each of the colors:

And how did she become a gay icon?
She certainly was not gay.

Garland married for the first time at the age of 19. Her union with bandleader David Rose was decidedly short-lived, however. On the set of Meet Me in St. Louis (1944), another of Garland's signature films, she met director Vincent Minnelli. She officially divorced Rose in 1945 and soon wed Minnelli. The couple also welcomed a daughter, Liza, in 1946. Unfortunately, Garland's second marriage only lasted a little longer than her first. The Garland-Minnelli union was practically over by 1949 (they officially divorced in 1952).

Around this time, Garland began to break down emotionally. She was probably exhausted from all of the years of constantly working as well as from all the medications she used to keep herself going. She developed a reputation for being unreliable and unstable. In 1950, MGM dropped her from her contract because of her emotional and physical difficulties. Garland's career appeared to be spiraling downward.

Very true. ^^ I had the same pic to post - but forgot.

The beautiful rainbow in it's original context.

Having read it myself, there seems to be multiple reasons, as there are for many things.

And how did she become a gay icon?
She certainly was not gay.

I wouldn't know.

 

[Hetta]

Rainbows are simple physics.

 

[WarriorAngel]

What do they hope for by using it?
Peace?

I cant say i agree with using it. It's not about peace - but a promise of God from flooding the earth. However; He never promised to not burn it - which Revelations says He will allow if the sins continue.
Irony.

 

[Hetta]

I'll let others hope for the earth to burn. I have no such desire.

 

[Saricharity]

Here is another I took last night in our backyard...double rainbow. It always makes me stop and pray for the lost. It's a reminder of Gods perfect grace.

 

[WarriorAngel]

Nobody desires it - obviously.
But it is what it is.

Sins beget wrath begets fire.

Sins beget wrath begets fire.

And yet sin has existed since the beginning of time.

Agreed! While I am usually lenient on fb, I tend to see stuffs that are really, really disturbing because of these people's mentality. I want to see a stream of scientific and historical newsfeeds, these come instead.

1st - Turning away from God - slippery slope [He's cancelled out of schools, Government buildings, and Nativity scenes celebrating His birthday]
2nd - Allow sins to become norm [see 60's free love] - step by step.
3rd - The sins grow bigger - the ones that anger God the most and we have been warned about time and again.
4th - Remove innocence from children and viola..wrath.

We are now centered between 3 and 4.
