Chain E-mails
#1. I hate how chain e-mails close with: For good luck, forward this to X-amount of people. If you don't forward this, you'll have bad luck for X-amount of years.
#2. I hate it even more how "religious" e-mails close with: If you love/believe in God, then you will forward this to everyone you know. If you delete this, it's like you're deleting him!
I think its crap that chain e-mails should make people fear deleting them, this especially when they're being forwarded for "religious purposes."
Now, the jackasses from #1 are just plain annoying. But the idiots from #2 are worse, and it pisses me off that even I feel hesitant to delete those e-mails. Religion irritates me that I know. But the jury is still out on the God "thing." I don't want to do anything directly against God in case one day I decide to join "his side." I find myself not deleting the e-mails, but also not sending them... out of fear… but why?
If there is a God, how are we supposed to know what’s right & wrong? Some things are very clear in the bible, but others are vague. Religions have come up with their own interpretations of what God would like his followers to do. So then, what’s what? What’s right & what’s wrong? My hypothesis of what God expects, if he’s logical, is to follow his blatant rules, but also that the rules of man will be added to the rules of God as long as they don't break the standard "rules of God." ie. God is doesn’t support profanity, but which words fall into this category? The words that man marked as "swear words" is what I'm guessing.
With that, now comes the fear of deleting a chain religious e-mail… if Man has decided that it is against God to delete an e-mail containing “the message,” does that then become an expectation of God, to forward that e-mail?
