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.
