She Who Took My Virginity sent me the 'untimely deaths' e-mail
Advertisements [?]
Y'know, the one that's going around again about all the people who died after they "mocked god," like John Lennon. She said it might "enlighten" me.

Here's my reply:


I assume that by "enlighten" you mean to "the way and the light and the truth" or something along those lines. But what I see here is your apparent belief in a deity that seems to thrive on killing those who don't agree with it, much like a despotic ruler. I also see you and others using this e-mail (it's making the rounds again) as a scare tactic, complete with big, bold letters, to bring people to your god. But I'd ask you, why would I want to worship a deity whose followers use the fear of death as the impetus for "salvation"?


What is it with the fundies? Why are they always trying to "fix" us?
