The Jesuit physician and Facebook

Is religion the only thing that makes people pause, when you open yourself on Facebook?

"Posting my online status as 'is walking in the March for Life' is certainly not outside the pale: yesterday a friend informed the world that he was 'eating a Dorito.' If he can do that, then I can certainly announce 'Jesuit physician affirms life begins at conception."

I'm betting that it surpasses even political affiliation.

First reaction -- I think it's sad to run across people who are so fanatical about their religion that every move MUST have a religious connotation. This fellow goes to Facebook, reconnects with past friends... and worries whether those contacts will remain open long enough for "evangelization"? This fellow has all the friends he needs -- right there in his Bible, I think.

Second reaction -- He obviously hasn't thought about how much negative reaction comes to the doorstep of anyone who goes on facebook to spread his/her "pro-choice" message. Either side of that issue will be lightening rods for fanatics. He's not being singled out for anything unusual. Except perhaps for being a one-track jerk.

regarding Facebook:
"Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise."
Choosing to take a political stance in a realm where "I am eating a Dorito" is the common coin invites unpleasant comparisons and cheapens your cause.
