Facebook Jesus bigger than Bieber!

Facebook Bieber topped by Jesus

A US diet doctor has created the most highly engaged Facebook audience in the world by posting the words of Jesus on his page. Aaron Tabor's Jesus Daily, which was launched in April 2009, generates more comments than any other celebrity Facebook page including Justin Bieber's.

Tabor, who markets his dieting products on a separate Facebook page, spoke with the New York Times about his creation. "I wanted to provide people with encouragement," he said. "And I thought I would give it a news spin by calling it daily."
According to Facebook, 31 percent of Facebook users in the United States list a religion in their profile, and 24 percent of users outside the United States do. Additionally more than 43 million people on Facebook are fans of at least one page categorized as religious.
Dr Tabor, who grew up watching his father preach at churches, is contemplating an online television global ministry but for now still regards Jesus Daily as his hobby.
"I want it to be about encouragement," he said. "There are so many people battling cancer, fighting to keep their marriages together, struggling to restore relationships with their children. There are people out of work, at the end of the line and I just want the Jesus Daily to be a central place where they find encouragement, no matter what battle they are fighting."
