On "The Story" tonight, Pastor Robert Jeffress said he's confident that God and the church will be around much longer than Zuckerberg and Facebook.

Unfortunately, I'm not certain that is true.

Of course, these global elites want you to see them as the church.

Zuckerberg is a god in his own mind. Golden Calf syndrome?

Christianity has been around for two-thousand years. Facebook will eventually go the way of MySpace

The “Church” was doing just fine until the non-believers pushed governments into attempting to provide the important “role.” Governments have failed at this because of top heavy managements and administrations.

I believe that my church is a better judge of who gets help and who doesn’t.

Our culture is becoming more isolated. People interact face to face less and less. I blame, in part, technology. Facebook is like a loud bar. You can “be” with people but you can’t really have a conversation or develop real intimacy.

“Christianity has been around for two-thousand years.”

There are 2.1 billion Christians.

And 2.0 billion Facebook users.

Scary.

Just because we might not like it, doesn't mean he is wrong. Doesn't mean Facebook is a "god". But it is replacing a traditional role of churches, that being a community of people.

People are stopping going to church for a lot of reasons. Some because they have turned away from Christianity, or some because their church has turned away, and they haven't found a replacement (see ELCA, Methodist....).

I really think churches have a problem going forward. Society as a whole is moving to a "get it when I want it" in regards to various things. Broadcast TV of "I have to be in front of my TV at 9PM Thursday to watch Hill Street Blues" is long gone. Same thing can happen to churches as Millennials become the "grown-ups". Harder to convince people to go to a place at 9:30AM every Sunday morning.

I don't know what the answer is. But for a growing segment of the population, social networks like Facebook, and joining groups of like minded people can take the place of going to some building at 9:30AM on Sunday.

Zuckerberg seems to be challenging God with this outrageous statement.
If God decides to react then Mark may have a real problem on his hands.
