"Share This Or It Means......" Blah blah blah blah

I really hate it on Facebook when someone will post something and the post will say "Share this if you don't like cancer." or "Share this or it means you don't love animals." Or "Share this or you wont find true love." Am I the only one that sees that it's just a way to spread that post around the world? Not posting or sharing something on the internet will not make anyone think that you don't like animals nor will it make anyone think you have no heart just because you didn't share an "against cancer" post. Well...you shouldn't be judged on that anyway! It's just a stupid post man! It's almost like children seeing how far you will go. In school they would say silly things like "Quick lick a slug or it means you will get cooties." I have never actually heard that but just making up silly crap on the fly. Just because you see something you agree with on Facebook, do you always have to "like" and "share" it? Why?

Ooops i hate this one too. I come across so many of them on whatsapp. Share if you love God,if you want a blessing in the next blah blah days. It leaves me wondering if it is God who said i should share to expect a miracle

I am not really a believer in God but I still don't think God would be communicating with us through Facebook. That's all of us doing this. Just my opinion but if it makes you happy and feel good then do it. But usually it is just people wanting to see something they made go viral. Thank you for answering.

You have a valid point to make that there are some posts, which someone expect us to share. I do not like to read such posts and I avoid checking such posts. If I happend to 'like' such a page inadvertently, I will 'unfollow' it knowing about its purpose.

@dpk262006 I especially dislike how people have made a business out of God/Godesses pictures on facebook. Write "Amen" etc... if not you will have "x" days of bad luck....... Not cool at all

Many of those are so pointless. Yes, I love God, and He knows that. Why do I have to share a photo to prove it? I admit, there are some things I share/re post because they move my heart, but all those "You will receive a financial blessing if you re post this within five minutes!" I mean, seriously?

Yeah if there is some post that means something to me then I would like to share it but I deliberately ignore every single post that says "Share this if..." or "Like this if..." I hate them. Thank you for answering. :)

@xstitcher Now everytime a photo of God is shared with me. I immediately unfollow it and hide it. If that person persists, then they get removed.

It doesn't make much sense to me either. I don't really do it either. If someone else wants to share and spread fine, but I don't usually.

@VivaLaDani13 I visit Facebook only rarely.I dislike most of the posts.How can I like them.These kind of people are everywhere and at all times.Years back when there was no internet we used to get postcards saying we have to write the name of God and sent 100 postcards to others.If we do not do this dire consequences will follow.Just ignore these kinds of messages.

It's the "chain letter" of the 21st century. (For you kids: "chain letters" were these things you got in the mail where you copied the letter [by hand, no ink jet printers and computers to type them out] and sent it to X number of friends, all with the warning "send this letter to six of your friends or you'll go broke and marry an ugly spouse.") The thing that troubles me the most about them is when I see CHRISTIANS posting utter garbage like "type 'amen,' like, and share if you love Jesus." Gee, how did 2,000 years' worth of Christians express their love of Jesus before "like/share/type amen" came along?

I hate those too. I think it's so immature. I'd share something if I know that it would have an impact on everyone who might read it, but not because I want to be labelled as not caring if I don't share them.

Yeah I am the same. If it was something that would genuinely have an affect on people or the situation then I am all for it. But it if is just a post because some person wants to feel accomplished from having their post floating around then I really don't care about it.

I totally agree... But most common in my country is this " Like/comment/Share if you love god" Wtf? I mean how can we show our devotion to god by liking/commenting/sharing a fb post?? One more common type is "This kid is suffering from cancer. Like for a pray" What the... ?
