"Christian" Spam
I've got a message to the spammers who send "Christian" junk mail: Stop! I don't know if it's just because I work in a Christian organisation that I get bombarded with it, or whether the whole world is inundated equally, and I don't know which is scarier.
The problem is that it defines what's worst about Christianity. Little to no critical analysis, research or even thought informs it. It's knee-jerk reactionary. It's political not spiritual. And all that makes it downright offensive.
If your love of people isn't demonstrated in what you communicate, then I can't stand to be associated with you. And I don't care what demographic you're addressing, or in which context.
