Candace Cameron Bure Addresses Her "Religious" Detractors

Aimee Herd-Commentary : Mar 7, 2014  CandaceCameronBure.net

"I won't ever stop being the real me to be an illusion of a better but fake Christian version of myself." –Candace Cameron Bure

On her own website, Candace blogged that she is actually the one who runs her Facebook fan page: "Not a personal assistant, not my publicist, not my agent or managers, not my kids, but me."

While noting how her page has been growing in "likes," she lamented that it has become a "sensitive issue" when it comes to posting status updates "because of the dread in my heart knowing I am going to get discouraging comments, even on something as fun and beautiful as a family photo."

Candace Cameron Bure"And while it's easy to say, 'Oh Candace, just delete them and block the haters or don't let them get to you, brush it off,' it's too late," remarked Bure. "The comments have been made and read, the bickering back and forth defending me or opposing me has ensued, and all I see is a bunch of religious people throwing around Bible verses attacking each other and a bunch of non-religious people wondering why in the world they would ever want to be a part of this group?!

In her blog, she listed some of the disparaging comments left on her page, and then noted that her Facebook page is "not a Christian blog" or a "Jesus FB fan page" and that she's not going to be flooding it with constant Scripture-related postings.

"I'm not trying to please everyone; I only have an audience of ONE, said Candace. "That's God. And while I take the responsibility of role model seriously, I'm not perfect. I never will be. I'm a human being with faults and a sinful heart by nature. Although some people see me as a 'celebrity', I'm a woman- just like you, I'm a mom-just like you, I'm a wife-just like you, I'm a daughter-just like you, I'm a friend-just like you and I have a heart-just like you.

Candace Cameron Bure"I know I'm not a perfect Christian-are there any though? Nope, just Jesus if I recall. I not making excuses for bad or disobedient behavior, but can we please keep in mind that people are on their own journey with Christ and are all walking at different speeds and knowledge? There is also much to be said about personal convictions and preferences versus something written in black and white. We must remember that while God convicts me of something, He may not be convicting you of that same thing at this time of your life and vice versa. It's doesn't mean, He might not eventually… but forcing your own convictions upon others only places a burden and pressure on that person, instead of simply sharing what God has shown you and allowing God to convict the heart, if He chooses to.

"I won't ever stop being the real me to be an illusion of a better but fake Christian version of myself," she said.

Well said, Candace, well said.

Candace's Facebook page currently has over 550,000 "likes." The former "Full House" star will be competing on Season 18 of "Dancing With the Stars," dancing with Mark Ballas.

Recently she authored the book: "Balancing It All: My Story of Juggling Priorities and Purpose"
