Anyone else getting a bunch of "Repent before it's too late" emails?
I'm not sure where these are coming from, but I've been getting a few a day. They are usually just two lines, and some simple "Repent" type message. I imagine some fundie somewhere thinking to himself "This will freak him out so bad he'll think the good Lord is sending these emails hisself, and he'll repent!"

Is it because of all the seedy, less-than-reputable sites I hang out at, or is this something that everyone is getting?

3. I'm getting a lot of "Christian mortgage" stuff, too.
Wonder if they are related, or if maybe God is trying to tell me something...

10. The ones in my bulk folder
are for Christian dating services. I find that hilarious, as I've been very happily married for nearly 16 years.

11. I get those, too
Which is doubly odd for me, since I am married (barely, but still), and an atheist.

I literally have my spam filter set to catch anything with "Christian" in the subject line, it's gotten so bad. The funny thing is, my best friend from high school, whose married to a close friend I've known since sixth grade, has a son named Christian, who is graduating this year. You guessed it, the announcement wound up in my junk folder!

(I still can't get over it. Graduating! My oldest child is eleven!)
