Pirate Sadness

I had to delete my pirate post, as it wasn't formatting correctly, and I'm not advanced enough to edit the code to fix it.

Well, I got another one. A stupid, crappy forward. I don't really consider myself religious, so this kind of stuff is especially offensive to me, not to mention the implication that our "holy war" in Iraq is ordained by God. I'm just a little uncomfortable with that kind of thinking. So I wanted to pose the question--how do you tell people, i.e. family, friends and co-workers you don't want to receive this crap anymore? Should I say something like, "I just wanted you to know that I worship Satan so I don't appreciate you bringing your faith views into the workplace. Have a nice day, and Satan bless!" By the way, if you don't know me, that was a joke and I don't really worship the Satan-meister. Just by way of example.

What's the nice, socially acceptable way to e-mail them and say "stop sending stupid stuff!"? Awaiting input, advice.

And you have probably seen this one. Israel is the nation most often mentioned in the Bible. But do you know which nation is second? It is Iraq! However, that is not the name that is used in the Bible. The names used in the Bible are Babylon, Land of Shinar, and Mesopotamia. The word Mesopotamia means between the two rivers, more exactl y between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. The name Iraq, means country with deep roots.

Indeed Iraq is a country with deep roots and is a very significant country in the Bible.

No other nation, except Israel, has more history and prophecy associated it than Iraq.

And also... This is something to think about! Since America is typically represented by an eagle. Saddam should have read up on his Muslim passages...

The following verse is from the Koran, (the Islamic Bible)

Koran (9:11) - For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace.

(Note the verse number!) Hmmmmmmm?! God Bless you all Amen !

I BETTER NOT HEAR OF ANYONE BREAKING THIS ONE OR SEE DELETED This is a ribbon for soldiers fighting in Iraq. Pass it on to everyone and pray. Something good will happen to you tonight at 11:11 PM This is not a joke. Someone will either call you or will talk to you online and say that they love you. Do not break this chain. Send this to 13 people in the next 15 minutes. Go."
