More people giving up #socialmedia for Lent !!!

POSTED: 03/01/15, 9:17 PM EST |

TROY >> Social Media: it might be the new chocolate when it comes to cravings and, as a result, it has recently become a popular indulgence to give up for Lent.

But, unlike chocolate, social media has become a part of daily routines for many and is even part of some job descriptions. It is used to stay in touch with family, old friends, new acquaintances, and is becoming an integral platform for small businesses to directly reach their current and potential customers.

Tom Nardacci, founder and president of Troy-based Gramercy Communications, is about to go into his third week of Facebook fasting as part of the Christian season of Lent, which lasts 40 days before Easter Sunday. He said he made the decision to give up Facebook since he knew it would be hard. It was his middle school religion teacher Sister Aloise who encouraged him to give up something hard for Lent, Nardacci remembered. And, considering he has been signed up with Facebook since graduate school, he was curious about what life without daily Facebooking looked like.So far, he said: “It’s actually hard. I miss the daily connection to some friends who are also just really busy. I had to log in one time for a work thing. Other than that, Sister Aloise would be proud.”

Considering that the mass popularity of the Internet only happened a couple decades ago and that social media itself has been around for an even shorter period of time, society is still figuring out the overall role that social media will play.

Losing our religion: New research shows the Internet could be making Americans lose faith

New research shows that the number of Americans with religious affiliations has dropped by 18 per cent, or 25 million people

Computer scientist Allen Downey says there is a correlation between the drop and the rise of Internet use

He says the increased usage of the internet correlates to 25 per cent of the drop

New research has shown a correlation between the rise of the Internet and the decline of Americans claiming religious affiliation.

Other factors, such as an increase in higher education, are also implicated, but according to Allen Downey, a computer scientist at the Olin College of Engineering in Massachusetts, the increase in Internet usage has a significant correlation.

The MIT Technology Review reports that in 1990, eight per cent of Americans had no religious affiliation. In 2010, that figure stands at 18 per cent, or 25 million people.

Religious figures: Downey says that increased Internet usage correlates to about 25 per cent of the drop in religiosity

Downey analyzed data from the General Social Survey, a well-respected annual research survey carried out by the University of Chicago, to make his findings.

Downey says the single biggest cause of religious affiliation is upbringing: those you are raised in religious households are much more likely to remain in their family's religion as adults.

REAL ISLAM !!!

And slay them wherever you come upon them, and expel them from where they expelled you; persecution is more grievous than slaying. But fight them not by the Holy Mosque until they should fight you there; then, if they fight you, slay them — such is the recompense of unbelievers, but if they give over, surely Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate. Fight them, till there is no persecution and the religion is Allah’s; then if they give over, there shall be no enmity save for evildoers. (Quran 2:191-193)

Men are the managers of the affairs of women for that Allah has preferred in bounty one of them over another, and for that they have expended of their property. Righteous women are therefore obedient, guarding the secret for Allah’s guarding. And those you fear may be rebellious admonish; banish them to their couches, and beat them. (Quran 4:34)

They wish that you should disbelieve as they disbelieve, and then you would be equal; therefore take not to yourselves friends of them, until they emigrate in the way of Allah; then, if they turn their backs, take them, and slay them wherever you find them; take not to yourselves any one of them as friend or helper. (Quran 4:89)

This is the recompense of those who fight against Allah and His Messenger, and hasten about the earth, to do corruption there: they shall be slaughtered, or crucified, or their hands and feet shall alternately be struck off; or they shall be banished from the land. That is a degradation for them in this world; and in the world to come awaits them a mighty chastisement. (Quran 5:33)

When thy Lord was revealing to the angels, ˜I am with you; so confirm the believers. I shall cast into the unbelievers’ hearts terror; so smite above the necks, and smite every finger of them! (Quran 8:12)

Make ready for them whatever force and strings of horses you can, to strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others besides them that you know not; Allah knows them. And whatsoever you expend in the way of Allah shall be repaid you in full; you will not be wronged. (Quran 8:60)

Then, when the sacred months are drawn away, slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them, and confine them, and lie in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they repent, and perform the prayer, and pay the alms, then let them go their way; Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate. (Quran 9:5)

Fight those who believe not in Allah and the Last Day and do not forbid what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden — such men as practise not the religion of truth, being of those who have been given the Book — until they pay the tribute out of hand and have been humbled. (Quran 9:29)

Allah has bought from the believers their selves and their possessions against the gift of Paradise; they fight in the way of Allah; they kill, and are killed; that is a promise binding upon Allah in the Torah, and the Gospel, and the Koran; and who fulfils his covenant truer than Allah? So rejoice in the bargain you have made with Him; that is the mighty triumph. (Quran 9:111)

O believers, fight the unbelievers who are near to you; and let them find in you a harshness; and know that Allah is with the godfearing. (Quran 9:123)

When you meet the unbelievers, smite their necks, then, when you have made wide slaughter among them, tie fast the bonds; then set them free, either by grace or ransom, till the war lays down its loads. So it shall be; and if Allah had willed, He would have avenged Himself upon them; but that He may try some of you by means of others. And those who are slain in the way of Allah, He will not send their works astray. (Quran 47:4)
