What is it about some "Christians" that makes them automatically assume that anyone who gives them their e-mail address, for whatever reason, just naturally shares their religious ferver/persecution complex/stance on various issues?
I'm a Christian. But I don't assume that everyone shares my beliefs & values, nor do I expect them to do so. And I don't send e-mails around to everyone I know, proclaiming how great Christians are, or how persecuted we are, or how other religions are to blame for the state of the world today. But I sure get a lot of e-mail like that from otherwise apparently sane people. My favorite ones are the rants about the big bad ACLU (of which I am proud to say that I'm a card-carrying member.)
Want prayer in public schools? Hey, I'm all for it - as long as it goes for everyone. Does little Johnny have any Muslim classmates? Hindu? Buddhist? Jewish? Jedi? Make sure they all get to say their prayers there, too. Out loud, so everyone can follow along.
If you're not willing to do that, just drop the damn subject & get on with teaching the three Rs. And while you're at it, why not throw in some real science, too, just for a novel use of taxpayers' dollars?
Oh, and stop sending me those stupid e-mails & threatening me with eternal damnation unless I forward them to everyone I know within the next 5 minutes. God's probably got more important things to worry about than my e-mails - or yours, for that matter. And I sorta doubt that forwarding a bunch of spam to a lot of people is reserving you a special place in heaven, either.

It is my fervent prayer that a very special place in hell be reserved for them!
