Thou shalt not use Facebook

New Jersey pastor has ordered couples in his church to delete their Facebook accounts according to CBS Philly:

Thou shalt not commit adultery. And thou also shalt not use Facebook.

That’s the edict from a New Jersey pastor who feels the two often go together.

The Rev. Cedric Miller said 20 couples among the 1,100 members of his Living Word Christian Fellowship Church have run into marital trouble over the last six months after a spouse connected with an ex-flame over Facebook.

Because of the problems, he is ordering about 50 married church officials to delete their accounts with the social networking site or resign from their leadership positions. He had previously asked married congregants to share their login information with their spouses and now plans to suggest that they give up Facebook altogether.

Oh, puhleeze. Facebook is only going to get you into trouble if you're looking to get into trouble to start with.

Hmmm. Along the lines of "If thine eye offend thee, pluck it out"? Really?
