Online Confessions are Replacing Christian Tradition

The act of confessing one's sins is part of the Christian faith and has been practiced for over 2,000 years. Recently, as the web has increasingly become a window to the world, thousands of people have found therapy in confessing their “sins” to strangers.

On a criminal level, confession is much the same – it’s the admission of guilt. However, among social networks, web-based dating communities and chat rooms, people have been confessing more than just their recent sins. Through confessional videos posted with their favorite online communities or quick blurbs posted in a forum, people are making true confessions of their feelings. They are digging inside themselves and sharing secrets, emotions and fears. They are finding the Internet as a place wherein which they can finally be themselves.

World-renowned psychologists are describing the new trend as an as excellent way to deal with self-esteem and self-acceptance issues. When people make confessions on dating sites, for example, they are inwardly looking for those raw emotions that often stay hidden and buried, creating issues with self-esteem and self-acceptance. When those emotions are brought to the surface, experts explain, a healing processes is ignited.

“It at least gives people a temporary sense of relief,” said one expert. “It’s like taking off an overweight backpack. When a fat woman makes a true confession online, she often starts to see herself in a better light. Sharing is a proven therapy and, with time, she may start to realize that fat is beautiful. She might see herself as beautiful.”

Unlike most churches however, confession is not required to join a social networking website dedicated to making online confessions. Confession of one's sins, or at least of one's sinfulness, is seen by most churches as a prerequisite for becoming a Christian. That’s just not so online. The Internet serves up plenty of free dating sites for people in search of anything under the sun and you don’t even have to confess to sign on. Even without confessing, singles can even find free big beautiful women dating sites full of other people making their confessions public. Online, people can see others for who they truly are.

Overall, experts agree. Online confessions are a strong step toward self-help and self-improvement through self-expression.
