Kastle: Accept your friend request from Jesus?

Churches seem to be finding more ways to incorporate Facebook as a way of getting more people involved in the church, and even to catch a young teenager's attention. In this article about creative ways that churches are using Facebook, they say that "According to the Bible, when Jesus spoke, he often attracted large crowds. Churches and religious organizations of all denominations now have a captive, potential audience approaching 1 billion people on Facebook. Talk about a sermon on the mount!
Churches that can adapt to the most popular current trends, including the use of social media as marketing tool, stand to spread their messages far and wide. If there was once a taboo around using secular techniques to attract an audience, these concerns appear to be less of an issue today." So it's not just about reaching out to people, they're also using it as a marketing tool and creating pages for people to "like" and find information about the hours, and upcoming events going on in your own church. Even using Facebook to vote your favorite individuals or groups within the church! But it seems to getting the word out a lot faster then the past. Is a church's involvement in Facebook good or bad?
