Facebook is the Devil

I'm tired of being tagged in Facebook notes by acquaintances from high school that would lead me to believe that Facebook is the anti-Christ, and I've only been tagged in two of them.
How closed minded of someone to deny themselves the right to something they enjoy doing. How simple and naive to believe that deleting your Facebook account will bring you closer to God. If Facebook is your biggest "sin", you haven't been living in the real world very long and honestly if that's distracting you from being religious, you're going to have so many more issues if a real distraction ever presents itself.
People use Facebook. A lot. It's a rampant social networking tool and love it or hate it, most people use it on a daily basis. It's a form of communication between people who otherwise would never take the time to keep in touch. Much like these two people I know from high school, I would probably forget a lot of people exist because they just don't play any part in my life. Why would I take the time to write a letter to someone I haven't talked to in 3 years? It's just not feasible.
If we're assuming Facebook is causing you to sin and not do the things you're supposed to do, how is eliminating it going to help? Aren't you just going to find something new to distract you from God? These things are completely unrelated. Why don't we assume then that the Internet, television, rock music, dancing, caffinated beverages, books about witches and wizards, and women wearing pants are also going to distract you from God and cause you to sin. Are America's Christian youth really heading in such a Puritan direction? As far as I know, people who cite Facebook as being religiously distracting are still doing all of these things. Who's to say that it's really any different?
Rejecting new media is a huge landmine that journalists are trying to diffuse. The mass majority of people turn to the Internet because it's instant and accessible at all times of the day. This is why people use the Internet for everything from pornography to Bible verses. It's a tool. It's there. Rejecting something will not make it go away or make your life easier.
Why wouldn't a good Christian try to salvage their already dependent relationship with Facebook in order to foster new Christian friends by using a tool that can be a distraction for good. You could do a number of things to make your time spent on Facebook much more fulfilling for yourself, but mostly for the people in your life who need to hear about God. Leaving a massive group of sinners who are readily available to be subjected to your words completely isolated from you is selfish. Dare I say, un-Christian?
And after I read a note about a girl deleting her Facebook for religious reasons at the end of the week, she then continued to update her statuses. If it's so important to quit, why would you continue to compromise your faith by allowing yourself to repeat your addictive habits?
In conclusion, deleting Facebook for religious purposes is a really dumb idea and is very closed-minded. I don't agree with it and I feel like people who do so are being selfish to their friends, religious and non-religious alike.
