You're a Christian?! ME TOO!! COOL!!

Of the millions of fan pages Facebook has to offer, I found it interesting that the 6^th, 7^th, and 8^th most interacted with pages globally are Justin Beiber, Lady Gaga, and Rihanna, respectively. I found this interesting because these are household names, especially in teen culture, and yet they trail in popularity to the 3^rd, 4^th, and 5^th most interacted with pages in the world: Mario Teguh, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, and Necip Fazil Kisakurek. Although this looks weird to us, there are people in India today that scratch their heads and say “Beiber, Gaga, Rihanna? Never heard of them, but those Americans sure have weird names!” Yes, the rest of the world not only has electricity, they also have computers.

I'm done keeping you in suspense. The two most interacted with pages in the world: The Bible at number 2, and Jesus Daily at number 1! This must mean that the world is mostly Christian right? Afterall, we don't just have the top page, we have the top two pages! God must have the throne of our hearts. Jesus just gave a Bible smackdown to the world.

I think we all can agree that the trend will tend to be that the more popular something or someone is globally, the more likely it is that they will be on this list. Allah, is in the top twenty, as well as MTV and NBA (the NBA Finals just finished). These are all popular, so why is Jesus and the Bible up there so high if Jesus said “the world hated Me”, “the world will hate Me”, and “the world will hate you because of Me?” Was Jesus clueless? Every president of the United States has claimed to be a Christian, ALL of them. They don't seem to be very concerned about being hated by this godless society; in fact, claiming to be a Christian helps them get elected. Was Jesus wrong? If He said “follow Me and you won't be popular,” why on earth is Christianity so popular with the world?

The answer is simple, yet a hard truth: many Christians have been duped. Satan has done a “bait and switch” on the religious world. Satan has worked hard to sell a very appealing religious “christianity”, making actual Biblical Christianity, which requires humility and submission, seem so unattractive. Hence, religious “christianity” has the top two slots in popularity on Facebook, the top two movies Christians have attended the Hangover II and Fast Five, and the two books on the top shelf gathering dust in Christian homes are the Old Testament, and the New Testament of the Holy Bible.
