Christian spam has been overflowing from text messages and chain emails into Facebook apps and status updates. I’d wager that these Pascal’s Wagerers haven’t even read a fifth of the supposed source of their spam. This inspired me to challenge them in a status update of my own:
For every religious email, text, or status update you read, read a chapter, a page, or a verse of the Bible instead.
You’ll read every published word of [your] God in no time.
Why waste time on messengers when you can hear it from the master?
You have time. You have the book. What’s your excuse?
Surprisingly I got likes and comments even from believers who I’ve seen participate more than once in some spam sessions.
The above message might seem uncharacteristic, but I do hope that more people would read the Bible. But not the filtered, processed version most believers get from teachers and priests and parents.
I want them to read the actual words, the red meat, real and raw. Because it’s no wonder all they’ve been serving is spam — it’s all they’ve been eating.
May I re-post your quote? I'll cite you, mr. Red.
Very nice article. I have a problem with my weight, I can't lose any.
Good call, Wes. Sunday Savior Sushi
don't catholics already get their meat real and raw during communion? that is, if you believe in transubstantiation. may choice ka pa nga kung bloody or non-bloody
They probably "liked" it because they thought you were trying to spread their faith by asking people to read the bible…
Homer: Mmmm … Spam …
Speaking of spam, check out my latest post. It was inspired by spam I read a while ago on Facebook. If I hadn't written it I think my head would've exploded.
Good point. Odd though, I've never eaten the real meat. Yet spam was enough to draw me away.
