A group of Christian techies in Brazil have created their very own virtual Heaven where Jesus is Lord, censorship is encouraged, and gay people don’t exist.
Facegloria is a new social media network exclusively for allegedly heterosexual god-fearing Christians fed up with Facebook’s liberal policies.
“On Facebook you see a lot of violence and pornography,” web designer Atilla Barros told AFP. “That’s why we thought of creating a network where we could talk about God, love and to spread His word.”
A total of 600 words are banned on the site and gay content of any form is explicitly forbidden.
The network is meticulously policed by a team of 20 volunteers called the “morality police” who spend their free time combing through people’s profiles to make sure no one violates any of Facegloria’s totalitarian policies. Users who do risk the ultimate punishment: Profile deletion.
The site was launched in Brazil but boasts an international network of over 100,000 reported users. Barros says he hopes to accrue 10 million users in the next two years before eventually dominating the entire world. BTW, to put it in perspective, ten million users is a rounding error for FB’s daily usage.
“Our network is global,” Barros said. “We have bought the Faceglory domain in English and in all possible languages. We want to take on Facebook and Twitter here and everywhere.”
Good luck with that.

Because nothing says more about Christian love than segregation!

And they’ll make their anti-gay mecca, which will turn into a Christian Grindr and Tindr, because the predators and sex-deprived closet cases will be on there hunting and sniffing around like a fat chick at a buffet bar.

And Facegloria? You can’t tell me that doesn’t sound like something you do at a bathhouse.

At the very least, Facegloria is a flawless drag name.

Better yet, move to your own little corner of the world and stay there, admiring each other. Wouldn’t that be how your Lord would handle it? The Hobbit had its own dictionary, so all you need is words that represent whatever you want to skirt past the 20 moral gate keepers. Geeks.

Because I’m afraid of the real world as it is. Drugs’d probably be cheaper; you wouldn’t need any electronic gadgets at all. Once upon a time, electronic communications were ‘the work of the devil’ too, you know.

And the image of an average-looking guy reclining, surrounded by a bunch of nubile girls, establishes what kind of Christian message??

considering FB sued some poor app creator because its name ended with the word “Book”, a lawsuit against this social network site whose name starts with “Face” cannot be far behind.

@Xzamilio: “…hunting and sniffing around like a fat chick at a buffet bar.” Really? We’re commenting on a story about how so-called Christians demonize and stereotype us because of who we are — and you have to use a hurtful metaphor stereotyping a group of people who are ridiculed and shunned on a daily basis?

It’s been a long time since I saw “Life Of Brian,” but I seem to recall there’s a scene where he says, “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone”… followed by a barrage of rocks!

@DonW: Sure damn did. Cry about it. It was a joke. Try policing this nonsense, not a joke made by a self-proclaimed fattie.

Those blue high heels ,they look it something you’d seen a porn.

Strange, I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen any porn at all on Facebook.

Spread the word? To whom? If you’re on a network solely populated by evangelical zealots, who can they possibly convert? how’s that even remotely Christian??
Shirley White
That is so wonderful… I don’t have to see all their HATE everyday!
