I rarely to never get serious with my posts, but I was moved to literal nausea when I came across this dreadful garbage!
It’s sad that this is the image we portray to the web surfing non-believer. They see us as a club or culture that only differs from them in the level of perceived judgmental hypocrisy. How can we claim to be different when we are utilizing the same tactics of lust and greed to entice and ensnare. Mind you, most of these “Christian Dating” sites (an interesting oxymoron which I touch on often) are run by secular businesses who also run homosexual dating sites, swinger sites (that’s a married person with extramarital relations), and every other vile practice imaginable; there’s a hook-up site to match any fetish.
So which lure do they use on compromising Christians? Easy, throw some Christianese in the mix and abstain from nudity on the site and you can still dupe a believer into spending God’s money to stray from God’s plans and intentions for singlehood and marriage. You can read my 12 page report on the matter of dating in and of itself on my myspace (look up crimsonbirth@hotmail.com); In which, I was not able to address the issue of “Christian Dating” sites. However, just take a look at one, do the research, and you tell me where this fits in with God’s perfect will (not permissive).
I know I’m walking on thin ice with this one, I know I will offend many and hurt some feelings. Just know that this post is an assault against none other than the websites themselves, no Christian participants or resultant couple thereof. Once more, this is not against anyone I know, only the incongruous business of trafficking lonely, out of focus hearts by worldly, Godless means. I’m sorry for the hurt feelings, but I pray everyday for the revival of Godly romance and surrendered singlehood. Please join in my prayers!
