Wow isnt this a bit too extreme? Facebook should be removed because it results in online flirting and physical meet ups! So do many other websites but thats not the point. This leads me to the essential question : Is banning the right option or is freedom to make your choice provided with rightful awareness the better option? What good will banning do? If a person wants to get into an extra marital or pre-marital affair,he/she will make it happen by signing into any other social network or even going to a social place like clubs. But if the person has been taught that his/her religion does not allow such acts or the consequences will not be good, then he/she will never intend to indulge in such behavior. By banning the site, only the medium is being removed but not the intention where the real problem lies.
Another thing that article reminded me off was the ban on Facebook enforced by the Pakistani government because of blasphemy. This kind of shows how religion does not affect the state government in the USA because if it were Pakistan, they government would jump towards enforcing a ban! Despite it being a very extremist action by this church, it doesnt affect the whole nation and only affects a few people, also the congregants are advised, not forced!
