Facebook Deletes "Jesus Died So You Could Live" Post, Calls It "Hate Speech"



Facebook sure has its own interpretation of what constitutes broad-minded tolerance – not to mention, legal speech.

One religion’s central postulates should not be more or less acceptable than another’s, whether the “moderator” (that is, censor, a person or a machine) agrees or not.

But when a Christian posts that, “Jesus died so you could live” – which would be one of the religion’s core beliefs – the person behind the post may yet end up accused of “hate speech” over on Facebook.

Take former Blaze writer, journalist Billy Hallowell, who shared just such a statement on the giant network. The startling response by Facebook was not only to eventually delete the post, but also explain the censorship as a response to “hate speech.”
