It's been the case for email ever since email began that a continuous rash of religiously loaded misinformation and propaganda has been created and passed around as knee-jerk reactions by a thoughtless bunch of computer users - parrots, every one of them. I received another one a short while ago. It was a collection of attractive photos punctuated by a series of statements and questions that culminated in a "conclusion" that God gave us a beautiful world.
Gasp...!
I don't usually respond in any way to this relentless barrage of tripe. I usually just click "delete" and go on about my business. Today I was in a slightly different mood, I guess, because that changed. This time I responded.
My retort was brief and to the point: (speaking to the sender) "Emailing loaded messages to me will not help you overcome your personal doubts. I am not a part of your problems. In the future, you'll have to deal with yourself directly. Stop forwarding God-loaded propaganda to my inbox."
I hope it works... for the sake of my own peace. (...and screw the sender.)
