Identity

I find lately I've been ranting and raving so much about Facebook and other social networks. Lately I've had such a contempt towards these sites, and I'll explain why: I feel as if Facebook has become mine, and many others, identities. We edit our profiles in such a way to make ourselves look our very best. Nevermind if a lot of it is fake simply to make others like us. We carefully choose what to put on our profiles and our status' that would most make others like us.
This is the epitome of selfish. People say all the time that Facebook is a way to stay connected with old friends, I say thats crap. How is checking your facebook 20 times a day, and reading everyone's status's keeping in touch? It is mearly a way to make yourself look amazing in front of mostly complete strangers you would never even talk to in real life. The more friends you have the more popular you seem though.
All this ranting is getting somewhere :) I'm such a facebook addict, and it's ruining me arguably. I've seriously considered deleting it, and its something I'll have to pray about more.
What I really am getting it is our identity and love, we've made it all about what our profiles say about us, and not what God has done through us. We've lost so much love and relationship with facebooking all the time. This is just my rant, I'm going to write on love, selfishness, and more on identity later, this is just the set-up. I know you can't wait for more! I can feel it! :P
