If you proudly consider Jesus to be one of your "homeboys," or have a 'What Would Jesus Do?' sticker adorning your bumper, then you'll love 'Godinterest,' Pinterest's fiercely evangelical cousin. Second cousin. Twice removed.
Modeled exactly like Pinterest, the site's objective is to help Christian ministries hop on the social media train and engage with the public. However, you'll be happy to know that selfies know no religious boundaries; the site is rife with God-lovers who aren't afraid to use their front-facing cameras.
Of course, you can still pin your Godinterest items onto your immoral Pinterest board, though I'm not sure how advisable this is. Jesus probably won't smite you, but I have no way of guaranteeing this. Currently, my Pinterest (or should I say, Sinterest) board is running rampant with the seven deadlies -- particularly lust, greed and gluttony.
