You look at social media enough and you realize that their is a lot of people who just love to complain. They will pick fights and argue with you just to make the point that they feel they are correct and the rest of the world is wrong. It becomes more common when people share the same faith. Can easily spend hours reading posts and tweets from every arm chair theologian who feels that unless it's one specific way your condemned to the eternal fire.
While some criticizing can be justified. It seems to easily get out of hand to the point that we are no longer evangelists. Rather we become over zealous nitpickers who's only goal in life is to point out what everyone else is doing wrong. Instead of leading by example in living our faith. Our presence on social media should be as much of a reflection of who we are as followers of Christ as it is when we are not at the computer screen. Sometimes the best way to evangelize is not being focused on the flaws of others but rather by showing the world who we are by living our life as we are called to live it. We proclaim and reflect the image of Christ in how we carry ourselves in this world. We should strive to do that just as much in our interactions with people online as we do with people offline. We should always carry with us a simple reminder: The Church has never been a hotel for the pious. Rather it has always been a hospital for the broken and the sinner. The world needs more evangelists and less arm chair theologians. Perhaps by putting more of a focus on living our lives as Christ has called. We can share the Good News with everyone we meet.
