God [Heart] Social Media

Last week I received an SMS from the church informing me the death of a neighbor! I found it so weird to receive this SMS  from a religion community! I was curious to search if this church has a facebook or twitter account. I was surprised to find out many Lebanese church on facebook with huge number of followers!
Apparently the Lebanese church is embracing the modern world specifically social media to reconnect with followers and believers.
Who knows maybe soon Lebanese church will be using foursquare and every time you check in  you show your Smartphone to the priest, he will remove your sins :)
Religion and science is characterized by conflict from the examples above, it is clear that science/technology  and religion can have a constructive relationship .
What do you think everyone including religion should press the “Social Media” button?

Very nice post joe:) and very funny special the foursquare part LOL.
In my opinion not everyone is invited to the social media party specially in lebanon,like religion hospitals, and some old businesses, this game is not for everyone. Keep up the great work dude...
