Sin and the global voice.

To Christians:

The great phenomenon of the global voice has changed everything, and I think that’s worth talking about among Christians. Before this period in history, you’d have to get a book at the library or some expensive plane tickets to learn about the sights of France, but now you can not only zoom in from satellite imagery on Paris (including 3d modeling) via Google Earth, but you can also talk to and see a Parisian friend with next-to-no latency whatsoever. The Internet should not be seen an evil creation, but a thing of extreme consequence. So let me know what you think about these questions.

When you witness other’s sin on Facebook, how do you respond? I wonder because it seems like people are constantly displaying their sin on facebook–pictures of the party last night, status update replies with coarse joking, etc..

How do you respond?

How should you respond?

Do these two differ?

Should I message them and approach it?

Should I ignore it?

How does social networking change the idea of shame and public sin?
