A clarification to this post: I have been informed (looks like I didn't do my homework last night) that this e-mail is a hoax that has actually been in circulation for a few years. So tonight, I did my homework. There is no movie in the works, whatever the supposed title, depicting the lives of Jesus Christ and his followers as being homosexual. However, the play it references, "Corpus Christi," is a genuine play, written in 1997 by American playwright Terrence McNally. All the same, it led to to some interesting...shall we say....exchange? The rest is the original post: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've been experiencing what I call "fundie-bombing." It's the flier on your doorknob, or on your windshield, or the chain e-mail selling Christianity. I also call it a senseless waste of paper, space and e-mail infrastructure resources, but "fundie-bombing" rolls off the tongue better.

This is something I got from a Christian who has mailed me with two or three of these, but I haven't blocked the address figuring something rant-worthy might come along.

This one inspired a chatroom. It's actually an e-mail petition signed by 334 pissed off Christians miffed at an upcoming movie. Read on...

Hi Friends, At the risk of a bit of inconvenience, I'm forwarding this to all I know. A disgusting film set to appear in America later this year depicts Jesus and his disciples as homosexuals! As a play, this has already been in theaters for a while. It's called "Corpus Christi" which means "The Christ Body." It's a revolting mockery of our Lord. But we can make a difference. That's why I am sending this e-mail to you. Will you please add your name to the bottom of the list at the end of this e-mail? If you do, we will be able to prevent this film from showing in America. After all, the entertainment industry in under fire in our country right now anyway. Apparently, some regions in Europe have already banned the film. All we need is a lot of signatures! Remember, Jesus said "Deny me on earth and I'll deny you before my Father."

Hit forward, and when this letter comes up, delete any e-mail addresses, fill in who you want to send it to, scroll down to the last name (mine) and add yours to the list. When it reaches 500 please send to: [email protected] IF WE WORK TOGETHER WE CAN DO THIS. Thank You!

One simply decided to drop his two cents to me in an instant message, while I was asleep and running the room (hence my lack of response to the drivel in it, as if it deserved response while I'm awake for that matter):

Jlb7x70 [8:02 AM]: It's obvious you dont have a clue about Christ, Satan or anything else for that matter. But to sya Christ was a sodomite is going to carry its own sentence and I hope I'm there to see it carried out. You must be a punk in the highest order, and your going to end up as a punk of a sodomite. In Christ Name you will get yours.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I copy and paste this back into an e-mail, adding:

Wow, isn't this that famous "Christian love?" No wonder I want to be an atheist

~~~~~~~He mails back....~~~~~~~~

Christian love?

What on earth would you even know about Christian love?

If you knew anything about the Scriptures you would know that Christian love is not only a warm and fair love, but Christian love can also be tough love, and if you think any different then you have been listening to the majority who claim to be Christian but are just a bunch of panty laced wanna be's.

If you're a wanna be atheist than the only thing I can hope for is; what I may say just might rattle your cage enough to search out the Scriptures yourself and find out just what a Christian is, instead of speculating what a True Christian is or just taking the word of those which warm the pews of most churches.

I can understand how one might be an atheist because of the so-claimed Christians, they drive more away from what is written than any non believer could do, even a so-called Satanist. Let me remind you Christ didn't choose one bench warmer, Christ didn't choose one super-preacher or evangelist, He chose good men, ordinary men who can sin with the best of them.

But Christ knew they had a good heart, Christ knew they had strength of character and a destiny to fulfill and they did it. They didn't run around begging for money, they didn't lead the people away from what was written, no they were good men, who knew there was more out there than what was in a church and they found it. It sure wasn't because of what the so-called religious leaders of the day told them, another thing to remember it was the religious leaders of the day which killed Christ.

So it may be wise to understand the magnitude of your room name, and understand the difference between one who claims to be a Christian and one who walks the walk and fights the good fight and wins the battle and the war. And my friend if you want to call Christ a sodomite more power to your ass because your going to need all the help you can get. There will be a day my friend there will be a day all will have to answer for our actions and I sure wouldn't want to be in your shoes for standing on such a statement. Hell I'll even pray for you because you just may not be able to handle what is coming to you.

In Christian love to you.

Sincerely,

A True Christian.

To which I reply (no response yet)....

Christian love?

What on Earth do you even know about Christian love?

Well, if you know about "Christian love" then what you know isn't anything like love.

First you seethed with spiteful vengeance in your unsolicited IM to me, then you send me a rambling mail preaching "love?"

Son, you're on your way to becoming a model mainstream Christian, except you do seem to be able to think outside the structure of formal congregations and artificial hierarchies. Commendable, actually. Your "Independent Believer" badge is in the mail!

However, you speak like Christ in your reply to me, but your IM's tone seemed to convey a different message -- vengeance. Don't whine about how "It...w-w-was because of your room...uhh.....blah blah....(random bitch)...(random bellyache)....(kicking and screaming on the floor and throwing toys around the room)....WAAA! WAAA! MAMA, THAT MAN MADE A BAD CHAT ROOM! GRAB PAPA'S SHOTGUN!"

Whatever the reason or motive, it doesn't matter. You see, the Fifth Satanic Statement as written by Anton LaVey says, "Satan represents vengeance, instead of turning the other cheek!" Your initial words to me seems to fall squarely in line with this. Imagine, a "Christian" living the ways of a "Satanist!" Does that mean you are inspired by "Satan?"

If you must know, my chat name was inspired by hearing (in a chain e-mail mailed randomly to me by a Christian I don't know) about an upcoming movie based on a play called "Corpus Christi" in which Jesus and his followers are depicted as homosexuals. (If you want that e-mail, ask NEWCREATION3377 for it.)

The Old Testament speaks out against homosexual acts, but no passage anywhere in the OT or the New Testament establishes clearly that Christ was heterosexual. You only ASSUME he was, taking the Levitical laws into mind, but ignoring that the OT and NT repeatedly contradict one another (as well as themselves.) You also ASSUME I know nothing about the Bible, because I am not a Christian. Your "Hypocritical, Quick-To-Judge Believer" badge is also in the mail.

I am more secure and happy with my choices than you are willing (unable?) to comprehend. It seems you are the uncomfortable one, or you wouldn't be so concerned with my beliefs. Christianity is one of the few religions that actively calls on its followers to spread its "word." Spread, but do not force, and do not bother telling people who aren't interested what your "god" is going to do and that you hope to see it.

What you might call "assertive witnessing," non-Christians night call "spiritual rape." If we say no, stop. This is not "love," and it's obvious you don't know half as much as you think about it, nor do you have any idea what I know about anything. YOU DO NOT KNOW ME.

I laugh at the futility and irrelevance of another human telling me what his "god" is going to do to me at some point in time and that he hopes he's there to see it a day before spouting off about "love." What does an Almighty God need with an inferior mortal telling others what God is going to do? A truly omnipotent God would strike me dead at the moment of making my chat! He could have even done it BEFORE I made it, knowing it was going to happen. He could have seen it coming while I was still in my mother's womb! He knows ALL, right?

But since he didn't cause a random miscarriage then to pre-empt the existence of my chat, I'm sure bringing a spontaneous multiple organ failure upon a rogue blaspheming mortal peon is like shooting fish in a barrel for the Almighty!

What difference does it make -- thinking from a nonbeliever's viewpoint, in case it's not asking too much -- to hear someone else say that "God" is going to do something to them if they don't believe in them? If they don't believe in it, nothing will make them fear it. You don't hide under the covers from the monster in the closet if you know it's fake, and I'm not going to cower at my keyboard at some passerby threatening me with his own concept of "divine justice!"

To sum up this little anti-sermon, you walk your walk and I'll walk mine. And if you come across something that offends you, either deal with it or move your thin-skinned ass out of my country to somewhere else that doesn't have anything like the First Amendment. In short: toughen up, "punk." Don't get so flustered next time; it's not good for your health. High blood pressure causes heart disease, the world's second-leading killer, only to RELIGION!

Hail Satan and Hail Thyself!

Sincerely,

A True Heathen.
