Were All Those Rainbow Profile Photos Another Facebook Experiment?
The Atlantic ^

Posted on 06/28/2015 6:33:00 PM PDT by Blue Turtle

By overlaying their profile photos with a rainbow filter, Facebook users began celebrating in a way we haven't seen since March 2013, when 3 million people changed their profile images to a red equals sign—the logo of the Human Rights Campaign—as a way to support marriage equality. This time, Facebook provided a simple way to turn profile photos rainbow-colored. More than one million people changed their profile in the first few hours, according to the Facebook spokesperson William Nevius, and the number continues to grow.

Some of em (rainbow overlays) that went up Friday were removed a couple days later.

How many are actually real people and not fake profiles?

I only had one, and he was already on my ____list, so I unfriended him. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

What is interesting is that there weren't more of them. I know there are many of those "new Age" Christians who promote this coexist line of thought all the time. They are the same ones who post the Joel Osteen videos. I thought they would have gone all in on the rainbow.

My preacher does a good Joel Osteen imitation. It cracks everybody up, he even cracked himself up one time.

It isn’t even the Gay Marriage thing. That was a State Issue that has now been corrupted by Five Traitorous Morons.

The Tenth Amendment was just sacrificed to make them happy and it has become the Ends Justifies the Means. The Republic in freefall because they want their Behavior sanctified on the State and supported by a Populace who apparently have no Right disagree.

Might be time to ask them if Incestuous Marriage and Polygamous Marriage are Civil Rights. If they say no, they are either Hypocrites, Haters or too Stupid to Breathe...

My new friend Facebook friend, Scott Davis, posted his today. I couldn't have said it better:

I'm not by any means a disrespectful or hateful person, I accept everyone's right to live as they choose free from harm or violence, but if I see one more LGBT flag I may very well burn it. Not only does it symbolize everything I innately detest, the applauded rejection of reason and God's grace, but my own children are incessantly subjected to its immoral and destructive creed; especially when nearly every corporation, network or artist is pandering to make a buck off the complete subversion of our most fundamental values. If you need a blasphemous rainbow of cascading colors to proclaim your sexuality, as if it's a career aspiration or a sovereign state unto itself - even going as far to mock the sacrifices of our fallen heroes by using half-naked gay men to recreate the iconic Iwo Jima photo raising the American flag - that's where I draw the line of civility. The left is so deluded with its anti-American, anti-Christian agenda that the very tenets of right and wrong, dignity and disgrace, have morphed into a congratulatory orgy of proud irreverence and indifference to America's ideological fall. When 3% of the population gives the sordid illusion of capturing the moral high ground, the symbolic soul of a nation's most sacred institution and spiritual cornerstone, my tolerance ends where my religious freedom, the country I love, ceased to exist: at the border of their newfound fascist state.

I also unfriended any of my “friends” who posted the stupid rainbow. I must have deleted 20 people.

Over the years I’ve tolerated these liberals and excused them based on tolerance.

I made a point to save my political ravings for Free Republic and have tried to avoid offending my liberals friends on FB.

No more.

Just ask them which color on their flag of equality represents the equality for the millions of slaughtered unborn. They quiet quickly.

I have Neighbors due to my Farmville. Only 1 who post Christian verses and stuff also added that rainbow superimpose over her profile.

Sadly, so call Christians are supporting it.

That’s terrible, that is really terrible. You are thinking that your daughters are your enemies because they disagree with you?! Does this mean you don’t love them any more? It is a good thing God is merciful.

I’ve been using the overlay as a criteria for un-following.

Here is what I now have on my Facebook page:

Status update:

For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. --Romans 1:26-27 (ESV)

I created this meme to go with it:
