Zeal

I have a friend who has declared war on Fowarded e-mails. She will meticulously research (using google or snopes) rather or not an urban legend is correct. She screams if there's too many in her inbox (1 or 2), she'll politely try and tell certain people that she loves hearing from them, or she'll just tolerate them.
I'm a little more laid back, especially since some of the ones that end up in my inbox are actually pretty funny. However, I've been known to research out forwards...and I rarely send them on.
Today however, I received one in my myspace inbox that to me was beyond the pale. I don't like the "manipulative" forwards and shrug them off (the ones that say if you don't forward these one, a curse will befall you and your family). However this one just pushed my buttons.

Jesus Christ

I would like to know who really believes in Jesus Christ on myspace. There is no bribe of a miracle or anything like that. If you truly believe in Jesus Christ, then repost this and title the bulletin as "Jesus Christ"". If you don't believe in Jesus Christ, then just ignore this...thanks. In the book of Matthew, Jesus says..."If you deny me before man, I will deny you before my Father in Heaven.''

This is just silly. I won't dissect this one, but No, I won't be forwarding this on. I do believe in the Lord....but lil' manipulations like this are just a wee bit silly.

I'm sure if you had posted it, the person that created the forward wouldn't have counted you anyway, because you're Mormon, so you don't believe in Jesus, remember? Only Born-agains get to decide who believes in Jesus...and all you have to do is BELIEVE in him and you can do whatever you want.

A wee bit silly? How about completely insulting. Like I have to prove who/what I believe in to some random guy on myspace because he tells me to. Shya right.

hoo: The person who forwarded it on is a recent convert.

smash: I agree. I was understating my emotions about that horrid lil' forward.
