I saw this post over on BoingBoing and I thought “they are right!” The Christians that is.

It often makes the blogger feel good or makes him feel as if his opinion counts—when it is mostly mindless blather!

Blogs can be summed up as people talking about almost anything, but really nothing. There is no purpose to much of the contents — no direction. [...] The contents of blogs can often best be described as trash and the expression of shallowness. What is deemed as a higher level of communication is simply a mindless form of entertainment.

I agree! 99.999837% of MySpace is exactly what this says. And if you are talking to a bunch of teenagers, this is all likely correct advice.

But I think whoever wrote this only read LiveJournal and MySpace to draw these conclusions. There are a lot of blogs out there with content and usefullness. It’s just when the blog’s purpose is just to tell everyone how you feel at the moment, or minutia of your daily life that it is all ego and fluff.

We don’t need any more of those, unless of course you are a very interesting person like maybe Dita Von Tease. We need to know what she is doing at all times.

I really hope some folks in the church have hobbies. Maybe they work on old cars or fish or collect African art. If they do, they might start a blog to share what they know and enjoy outside of making Jesus Christ the Lord of their lives.

I wish they would preach against filling out surveys and posting them to all your friends on MySpace. Those people are going to hell.
