MySpace for God?

Ever been searching through MySpace wondering if you could just dispose of all this rif-raff and only focus on those God-fearing internet daters? Well, now you can! Enter ChristianUnion.com. According to their ‘About Us’ page:

We are followers of Jesus Christ striving to make connections with fellow followers.

Oh yeah… I smell some naughty Christian action going down. When you load up the main page, it really does look awfully familiar to some other social networking site I’ve looked at recently. I wonder which one it was… hmm. Well, I’m sure I’ll think of it soon enough.

I particularly like the contest they run on the front page of the web site. Apparently, Bebee was the lucky winner of an iPod Nano this past time:

Notice the exceptional grammar these ‘followers’ use on their front page! “Your” gonna have all kinds of fun searching for singles on this version of ‘MySpace for God’.

My only worry is that some of these Christian singles aren’t really going to find what they’re looking for in a sea this small. I mean, what good is an internet dating site if you aren’t constantly getting messages on your profile like “Hey Hottie, hooks me up!”, “Damnnnn, can i see youz nekkid??”, “Yeah, bounce dem titties, girl!”, or “Thanks for the add sexy!” I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that profile messages like that aren’t smiled upon in a social site with the tagline “Submit to one another out of the reverence for Christ. (Ephesians 5:21)”

Sadly enough, this little Jesus-freak love-fest actually does have something going for it. Even though they took the design directly from MySpace, their interface is actually better! Not only is it missing ads, but the design is simpler and flows better. Maybe ‘Tom’ could take some web design lessons from these bible thumpers.

    Mojo,
    I feel for you after you posted this. With all them Christians lookin’ for sacred hookups, the search engines are gonna loooove Ganstas and Hugs.

    Let me know when you get an email from Beebee.

    Poobah: Hahaha! I’m reading the Google Adsense Ads on the page now, and they’re ALL for Christian singles.

    They have a Gay Evangelical Christian singles site too. I had to laugh when I first heard of it. Talk about a small pool. I guess they can love eachother surrounded by the hatred of Jesus.

    i love their poll - “what’s your favorite hardcore band?” lmao!

    Wow, if the CHRISTIANS are making your site look bad then you’ve really punched a hole in the bottom of the barrel.

    Hello, I’m a Christian and I endorse this comment. ;)



  • mojotek

    Robguy: Wow, they really do? Man, talk about limiting your dating pool… :)

    Dawn: Ha! I wonder what the results will turn out to be…

    nicole: It’s sad that is true… I wonder if I’ve ever seen a really well designed religion-themed website.

    As for the fantastic grammer on the xian dating site, it is not their fault they have poor grammar. Jesus prefers his people be ignorant. If you don’t believe in flying donkeys or talking shrubs, you probably aren’t membership material for his club.

    I think that meeting a good christian who is also a midget very difficult. LittlePeopleMeet.com is okay, but it is a shame that there isn’t a littlechristianpeoplemeet.com or a littlejesusfreaks.com or something like that.

    I’d love to sign up on that site, become e-buddies with a bunch of them, then slowly try to turn them to the dark side while they all try to “save” me.

    Webgirl: “JJ, The Churning worries us. All that depravity. You need to accept Jesus into your life.”
    JJ: “Okay I will, after we rip a hit off this bong.”
    Webgirl: “You promise? One hit and you’ll accept Jesus?”
    JJ: “Yep. Then maybe you can pull a train.”
    Webgirl: “I don’t get it.”
    JJ: “You probably shouldn’t. Trust me, it’s fun.”



  • mojotek

    thewatchlist: Ha! littlejesusfreaks.com would be hilarious!

    JJ: “You promise? One hit and you’ll accept Jesus?” Hahahahahaha! Man, I could see a Comedy Central special following your progress as you slowly turn them.

    I went to check it… It is with great regret I have to inform you guys that Bebee is taken. She is married. And has kids. Here’s a real actual picture of one of her kids. Click on the link, you’ll be glad you did!

    Goldie: Thanks for the link to the picture. Looks like Bebee really knows how to discipline her kids!
