Do I dare send this to a freeper in-law?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

I received one of those "Let's write In God We Trust" on the back of all our envelopes and keep God in our Government" emails from an annoying cousin of my husband's.

Should I actually send this response, or should I just keep a draft as a vent device until I calm down?

Response:
Thanks, but my God wants no part of having His/Her name plastered all over a bunch of envelopes to offer the illusion that S/He supports this nation now controlled by greedy warmongers who murder innocent people and manipulate the lives of our nations protectors (the military) for the sake of oil.

My God will be around long after this misadministration has destroyed the earth S/He entrusted to us...long after mankind has finished exploiting Jesus Christ for personal monetary gain and political power...long after this blasphemy has ceased.

In God I do trust, without spouting out His/Her name like some twittering ninny who knows nothing of which he speaks; and without showing contempt and disrespect for my brothers and sisters of all other beliefs and non-beliefs.

1. GO FOR IT!!!!!

Remember Wendler's Second Law: If it pisses off the fundies, there is an 86.279% chance that it is a good thing.

2. Send it...

And include a scripture that sounds like it should go...It'll probably shut him up.

4. What? Like Matthew 6:5-6?

:shrug:

[HFishbine]

12. Yes.

That would be a good one. 1 Peter 3:8 is another.

[Maat]

8. I agree...and I love your kitty picture.

I'm afraid I have had to give my three a bath from time to time -- even though they are housecats -- and it has not gone over well.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

13. Take them to the groomer's ...

Baths are cheap, and they can be mad at the groomers...NOT at you.

3. Send it. Don't be afraid of cowardly Imperial Bootlickers. But wait 1st.

But hold on to it and calm down first so that you send it for the right reasons, not pique

[GoddessOfGuinness]

7. Good idea

Calm is good...

~~~breathing...thinking peaceful thoughts...breathing...~~~

15. Hey I have a Yahoo skin with your sig pic on it!

I thought it looked familiar.
Duckie

[GoddessOfGuinness]

18. Really?

Does Yahoo say where it is?
I got it from Redjellyfish...

[YellowRubberDuckie]

29. If you'll PM me your email address, I'll email it to you.

And I swear I will never spam you. I'll destroy the PM as soon as I get it.

5. Send that bad boy!

[blondeatlast]

6. If it's a Mom or Pop in law, don't do it. It isn't worth it.

Otherwise, have your fun.

11. Bull!

The wingnuts, freepers, and fundies ALWAYS feel perfectly and totally free to express themselves however, whenever, and wherever they like no matter what. Why the hell shouldn't we also, and why the hell shouldn't we be able to respond in kind?

THAT is why we're in such trouble, because we've always been too afraid to really respond and speak our minds because it may not be "nice." FUCK THAT! I used to be like that, but NO MORE! I and we have as much right to speak our minds and respond as the freepers, wingnuts, and fundies do.

Besides, if you don't shut them down, they'll never leave you alone, and some of those who can actually think may never come to see the light!

[Blue Gardener]

25. Exactly!

I used to worry about offending people too, but I've gotten over that. Every time someone sends me stupid crap I WILL respond. If they don't appreciate it they can stop sending me that shit.

[HFishbine]

9. Where is that?

The picture in your sig line. It's beautiful. Do you know where it is?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

16. I'm not sure...

I've heard a number of Texans say it reminds them of Texas Bluebonnets in the spring. Looks similar to some places I've seen in Shenandoah, too...

Happy spring! :hi:

[HFishbine]

19. Reminds me of

the NC Appalachians.

[ButterflyBlood]

10. go ahead. send it.

n/t

[lojasmo]

14. send it.

it's good. "twittering ninny" I love it!

[fudge stripe cookays]

17. Send that sucker off toute d'suite!

[DebJ]

20. cool post. God would reject us; you are right. Have you ever heard the

song "Hey this is God" by Phil Vassar?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

24. I haven't...

I'm not familiar with Vassar. What genre?

[Skittles]

21. SEND IT

LET THESE SANCTIMONIOUS, PIOUS F***S KNOW THE SCORE.

[Deja Q]

22. 1 Timothy 6:10 is worthy of a mention too...

Go for it!

(incidentially, "money is the root of all evil" is what 1 timothy 6:10 states.)

[chaska]

23. Flags kill ... as do gods.

Religion and patriotism have caused the deaths of more people than any other force in the history of the world. Forgive me if I refuse to swear allegiance to your god or your flag.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

26. Nothing to forgive from you....

It's those who kill and maim declaring that "God" is on their side who need to start begging forgiveness.

[Droopy]

27. !ti oD !ti oD !ti oD

If any harm comes from it you can blame Droopy and his backmasked messages!

Seriously, I'd go for it. It's better than heeling under to them.

[sablescort]

28. If I were you....I would write this down or enclose a torn $1 bill

highlighted: "Novus Ordo Seclorum" (New Secular Order)

That should shut the freeper up....

just my 2 cents in.

[geniph]

30. Do you think they hesitate before they send you their proselytizing?

No, they don't - they just spam you with their fundy fruitbat crap. Well, the best way to make them stop that is to refute it and make it clear that you find it absurd and offensive.

I finally got nearly all my family members to stop sending me rightwing and fundy bullshit by responding back that I found such nonsense ludicrous, laughable, and grotesquely incorrect.
