Brain? What's that for?

"There is a fight between God and Satan. If you are for God send this to ten people, if you are for Satan close this and live your life today." Is the forwarded text message I just recieved.

Really?! I closed (and deleated) the message. And then proceeded to reply to my cousin that they fight all the time and it doesn't matter whether you send that message to 10, 50 or NO people, God doesn't give a crap. Well, not exactly in those words, it was more loving of course.

Egh. Those things make me so sad. Why do people send them? Do they not use their head or do they just not want to be the person who stops sending it on?

Seriously, if you are a person who would have forwarded it on, tell me why. I would love to hear the logic behind it.

It's self-gratification. Back in the day people may have stood on the corner of a street yelling at people for living a godless life. Okay, people still do it today. But this day in age people are e-mailing, texting, tweeting their own proclamations of morality. It may make the messenger feel empowered to be part of the hype. Nothing wrong with expressing what you believe in but that kind of propaganda is ridiculous and anyone that believes that is an effective way of evangelism is sorely mistaken. Can you say soapbox? ;)
