That being said, I am sick and tired of all the posts I have to see on Facebook and on Twitter about how "God is good" and "save your soul" stuff. I am sure that many of these are people's way of comforting themselves, but there are better ways to do this than quoting lengthy Bible verses and preaching at your friends. God wants us to reach out to those around us, but I don't think He wants us to shove Him down everyone's throats 24 hours a day! I think that Bible verses should be saved for those who call into question beliefs and principles of our faith. We should save them for personal conversations where we are addressing a particular individual's circumstances. God provides for us what to say in those situations. If you read a post of mine that seems some what spiritual, it's because I can sense that someone needs to hear such things, but I'm not going to proselytise to everyone on my friends/followers lists.
I love that I have so many friends and followers online, but I would never make them feel uncomfortable on purpose. I know that I do go on my ghost/spirit activity but, like I said, I try to be as general as possible since that spiritual activity happens no matter what your religious beliefs are, most religions believe in spirits/ghosts.
So that's my rant. Hope I didn't offend anyone.

I agree 100%. My facebook has been bombarded lately with questions about if His Word isn't right...what is...What happens when you die and haven't saved your soul.
It's hilarious. So many people we went to HS with suddenly found God and insist on shoving it down our throats!
I know. I'm in awe how they don't see or seem to understand that they may be offending even those who share their faith. I've found an individualized approach works best. It's like advertising, if you just blanket your company you're not going to reach as many people as if you looked at a specific demographic. Sad that I can make a marketing reference in regards to religion.
