Blogging unchristian!

"Because of the obvious dangers; the clear biblical principles that apply; the fact that it gives one a voice; that it is almost always idle words; that teens often do not think before they do; that it is acting out of boredom; and it is filled with appearances of evil—blogging is simply not to be done in the Church. It should be clear that it is unnecessary and in fact dangerous on many levels."
So says Kevin Dee in the article above.

I must confess that in my naive exposure to the blogosphere the "obvious dangers" from "predators" has passed me by.
There may be some truth in the statement that "The contents of blogs can often best be described as trash and the expression of shallowness. " but that's also a description of most TV and I also watch that - perhaps I should feel convicted.

It's a shame that Kevin has gone so over the top in his condemnation of blogging, because buried in his alarmist article are a few points of note - the danger of vanity and posting or commenting in anger being two. Another is the question of how appropriate is it to share your deepest thoughts and feelings online.

My experience of blogging is so totally different to Mr Dee's I question whether we're talking about the same thing. How has blooging helped you, rather than hindered your walk with Jesus? Comments please.
