    I've been getting a bunch of spam from Jesus...Doesn't he have anything better to do?

    Lately I've been receiving spam titled:

    "Jesus Loves You! Refinance today!"
    "Get out of debt the Christian way"
    etc.

    Great. Too bad I'm not Christian, how will I ever get out of debt now?! ;)

    I am a Christian and I can't use him to get out of debt, so I don't know how they expect all you heathens to do it ;)

    Does anyone here remember that episode of Blackadder, when he owes £1,000 to the bank of the black monks?

    Man - I loved that episode... I'll see if I can find a still of the monk in question... A great bit of British television...

    Anyway... found this... It's a pretty good summarry...

    I am a Christian, but would never use someone like that. They use Jesus or christianity to sell something, it is so lame!!! If someone makes a point to say they are Christian to try to get your business - walk away, or better yet run. Most likely it is a con of some sort, kind of like 95% of the TV evangelists (remember the Bakers?)

    Aurrrggghh!

    I am a Christian.
    I may be more likely to do business with a website (or retail business) that give a discrete indication of sharing my faith.

    However, I would never do business with anyone who spammed me and used Christianity as a way to grab attention or make the sale...

    Or in the words of those wonderful TV evangelist:

    "God wants you to send me your money so I can buy a rolls royce."

    Or from other religion - won't mention which:

    "God wants you to strap on a bomb and kill as many bystanders as possible."

    Wow you are lucky he offers you that. I got lucky myself today when a kind man from the West African bank e-mailed me in person asking me a favour. All I had to do was to have $20 million transferred to my account and on to someone else again. He promises me a lot of money but I said... Nah.. Leave it. It's a small thing you can do for your fellow humans. I'm so glad I had this chance of helping someone out.

    But that wasn't all to be honest... Another fine young man gave me discount to numerous products I had never heard of. So kind of them to show me these opportunities. Perhaps I should take a more active interest in these eye-opening things. Not that I really need a penis-enlargement, but this was a bargain i just couldn't leave... Others sent me today e-mails with really nice attachements. I guess they are jokes because they make my computer act funny. I guess I'm not too clued up on the whole internet thingy yet.

    I'm looking forward to the next nice man or woman contacting me out of the blue by e-mail...

    Rec'd this minutes ago..sheer madness to think one would want to become a minister for the $ only.

    "Become a legally ordained minister within 48 hours

    As a minister, you will be authorized to perform the rites and ceremonies of the church!

    Perform Weddings, Funerals, Perform Baptisms, Forgiveness of Sins
    Visit Correctional Facilities

    Want to start your own church?"

    I was having a problem with a christian spammer who seemed to think I wanted to receive his message/inspiration of the day. I asked politely to be removed from his list; as I never subscribed. No response.

    I then started filtering his mail to go to an address that would bounce back a message in it:

    My dear child:

    Thou shall not spam.

    Love, God.

    This didn't faze him. I finally had to get dirty with him. All it took was one, um, picture and the emails stopped.

    "WWJD (What Would Jesus Do)? He would refinance his home and you should too!" (Hey, I'm pretty good at catch lines, perhaps I should become a religious-hook spammer. :D )

    It just seems so ridiculous. When I got the 1st one, I just thought, "You have GOT to be kidding me". :rolleyes: Then again, the Bakers made a killing off of "I'll Believe Anything, Just SAVE ME!" suckers, didn't they...
