At the risk of being mean . . .

Yeah. I'm pretty sure I'm not crazy about receiving scriptures in emails on a regular basis from people I hardly know.

Not because I disrespect the Good Book in any way. I'm just not a person who wants to be bombarded with what someone else thinks should be the thought for the day. I mean, c'mon - I dont even like inspirational posters, or emails that promise good things will happen if you send this hug/rose/smiley face to 100 of your closest friends.' To me, it's more than believing that religion is deeply personal. It's about feeling somewhat foisted upon . . . and I would feel that even if I agreed with the message!

If you (the ubiquitous you) is moved by something inspiration and you want to share with me personally how it deeply touched you, I'm really fine with that. But please take me off your email list when you randomly type out a scripture with no context or wherewithall. Because otherwise, I'm going to be annoyed rather than uplifted.

Now. Tell me what grump I am, and how I'm going to burn for all eternity. I have a response for that too.
