Behold the Spam of God!

[Eucharisted]

Almost every other day it seems, I will (like thousands of other Catholics) open my email and get something like this specimen (culled from my “delete” file):

Dear Mark, just came from your Website and have some questions. It sounds like you were a “Protestant” before becoming a Catholic? I don’t know which church you were in but I have to question whether you were ever taught the Word of God there? If you had been in a church which taught the truth concerning Baptism according to the Word of GOD and not the “traditions of men” you would have learned that not only does baptism NOT save nor “grant justification” but it is ONLY for those who ARE BORN-AGAIN by the SPIRIT of GOD by placing their faith in the LORD JESUS CHRIST! It is to be symbolic of the new birth ALREADY ACCOMPLISHED by GOD as Romans 6 clearly teaches! PLEASE READ the Gospel of John and pray asking GOD to show you HIS TRUTH - HE LOVES THE WORLD and DESIRES TO SAVE the LOST - which we all are apart from the New Birth which IS FREELY offered to ALL ! Please read and be saved! I will be praying for you in JESUS Name. Carolyn

You have to wonder what is going through the minds of people who write such stuff. What do they think they are accomplishing?

Spam of God, who makes it to the recycle bins of the world, have mercy on us.

I think they think they’re trying to save you.

Most of the anti-Catholic swill comes from a single book filled with outright lies. Maybe we need to point that out.

The Journey Home on EWTN is a great resource as is the booklet, Pillar of Fire.

You get better spam than I do! My spam thinks I’m fat, toothless, and need to enlarge parts that I don’t even have.

The only email I ever got about Godly Spam was this one:

Dear Saint Paul the Apostle,

Please stop spamming us.

In Christian Love,
The Corinthians

I admit I smirked when I read it.

I envisioned a tele-evangelist speaking when reading that. Even when I was still Lutheran, I had someone (online back in the old BBS days) try to say that I wasn’t “saved” because I wasn’t “born again”, and that baby baptism didn’t count.

Mine too, plus, my spam also thinks that I need loads of meds, fake college diplomas, can read Russian (which I can’t), can read German (which I can - I think it’s German PC/MAC software ads), need a date (again, wrong gender…), and of course, that I need to give money to an African “prince” (just how many ARE there? ) who will give me millions of dollars.
