Well, well. I just got

Well, well. I just got a piece of religious spam.
Another one, that is. This isn't the first time I get this kind of shit. It's always the same thing, too, though sent from different email addresses (that are clearly just-for-spam addresses (come on... sally-98913hm098@hotmail.com is a real address attached to a real person? Yeah, right).
This spam has the subject "you are loved", and is basically a commercial. The writer talks about the virtues of religion, says how in this "dog eats dog" world, it is important to know that there's somebody who will always love you, and ends with a prayer to Jesus the spammee should say to "accept Jesus as his lord and saviour".

Now, I don't doubt that, for some people, religion has an immense value. I know people like that, and they're among the best people I know. But a shitty spam mail isn't exactly the best of ways to convince somebody that your religion is amazing, incredible, and the best thing that could happen in a person's life. Not only that, I find it also very insulting and demeaning to religion.

As I said - I know that religion can be very important to some people. I have absolutely no problem with that - I respect other people's beliefs. I'm just not a religious person. And I can't understand why some religious people insist on trying to force their belief on me.
It's not like something like that will make me change my mind, anyway... it will just make me irked at the spam and disrespect.

Religious spam?
Gosh, I'd like to have too. After all "save your soul" (yeah You, fuckin' sinner, are goin' to suffer alot in hell's flames XD) spam would be better than my everyday "Love through chemistry". As to say the only way you'll gain someone's love is using a tricky potion! How saaaaad! :D
[anyway no potion - no sex - no sin... so there's no need for redemption XD]
