NEPTUNE, N.J. — 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.

But, but... I thought the gays were ruining marriage? Now I'm confused.

1. FaceBook doesn't ruin marriages....

...Married people ruin marriages.

2. Well, I would have some words for Rev Miller

and they might not be exactly what he would like to hear..

I think there is still Freedom of Speech in this country and he doesn't get to tell anyone just what they will or will not do.

3. This happened long before facebook.......

If people wan't to monkey F*** , they will.

4. simpleton

the problem is not facebook.

the problem are people who do not view their vows as something to respect. To me, that sounds as if the rev didn't do a good enough job of explaining the requirements of marriage before he married these 20 couples.. so the failure, really, is on his side. Plenty of married people use facebook and do not engage in inappropriate behavior.

5. Cedric is a funny feller.

6. One step closer to jumpsuits and a compound.

7. I've been on FB for about two years now

and MY marriage is still solid. FB doesn't cause the problem. If people are gonna cheat, they're gonna find a way to cheat.
