Religious spam: the motherlode

by Feòrag

Crazy Christian Chain Emails is a blog which does exactly what it says on the can. An introductory post explains:

Welcome to Crazy Christian Chain Emails, a site dedicated to, well, see the name. I've devised a kind of scoring system, in which points are given for different common rhetorical and stylistic cliches in these emails.... Should I introduce myself? Okay, my name is Stella; I'm an atheist, and I live in Kansas. Since I'm in the Bible Belt, most of my friends and acquaintances are Christian. This usually doesn't affect my life too much, unless I'm on these people's email contact lists. Then I have to put up with True stories of angels emails. I'm tired of it, and rather than ask my friends not to send me any more of that garbage, I'll put the messages up on the internet for other people to laugh at. I'm passive-aggressive that way.

It all makes me so glad that I have Thunderbird set to not display HTML messages.

Wax lyrical

Evangelism, witnessing and similar activitites go by one name here—advertising, and is no different from spam for viagra, penis enlargement products and pornography. We do not take advertising. If you want to advertise your imaginary friend, please spend your own money on your own web space to do so. Any attempts to use the comments section for advertisements will be deleted, and the perpetrator barred, unless they are particularly stupid, in which case I reserve the right to pinch an idea from Teresa Nielsen Hayden and delete all the vowels.

This is not a contacts site. If you are looking for help regarding a particular path, I suggest The Witches' Voice, which does operate a contacts service.

Allowed HTML: a href, b, br, p, strong, em, ol, ul, li, blockquote, q, pre. If your name has accents in it, things will work better if you use the XHTML entities for those letters. The same applies if you are using a word processor to compose your comment, then copying and pasting the text—either turn off curly quotes and avoid using em-dashes, or edit your comment after pasting to get rid of them. Garbled comments usually get deleted.






You must give one to comment, but it will not be displayed and we won't let the spammers have it. If it is obviously false, your comment will be deleted, except in extenuating circumstances.







You must preview your comment first. Blame the spammers.
