Religious Spam

Categories: Everything, Religion, Tech

One time I found an email in my Thunderbird inbox with the subject, “The most important desision in life Stringer” (sic). An unusual subject for a spam email, no? So I looked at the body of the email:

Before its too late make peace with GOD, and make sure the ones you love do also.

Its the greatest pleasure you can ever have and it lasts foever.

Accept him.

Repent.

Get baptized.

See you in heaven.

Hmm, maybe this isn’t spam? But wait, it has a random nonsensical string at the end of the email, just like a spam bot would generate:

In denton we can bacchus as always melodramatic deferral theirfore motive is peasanthood and snag.


That’s not the only one I got. Here’s another one:

Hello Bjwrenn,

If you die today where will you go ?

This is the most important thing in life.

Without God we have nothing.

Save yourself and the ones you love:

Say, “Oh God, save my soul. I’m so sorry that I have sinned against you, but I have come home. I will serve you, Lord, the rest of my life. Deliver me from all my sinful habits. Set me free! I do believe Jesus died on Calvary for me, and I believe in His blood, that there is power in His blood to wash away all my sins, all my sins!” Say, “Come into my heart, Jesus; come on in, Jesus. Come on in!”

If you meant it, He has come. If you meant it, Jesus is yours. Start reading your Bible, pray daily and believe that somebody’s listening; His name is Jesus.
