Earlier today, I considered unfriending all vocal Christians on Facebook. This came on the heels of one of my cousins (a person I love dearly though we do not speak often) declaring in her status a desire to unfriend anyone who frequently posts about failing relationships, drugs, sex, partying, and other such topics. The same cousin routinely posts paragraph long, proud statuses of her own thanking God for everything good, blaming Satan for everything bad, and reaffirming her obeisance to the almighty.
I guess that if I had to choose, I would rather read lame statuses about people's sucky real lives.
