Another Reason To Fear Your Inbox

Just what the world needs: Spiritual spam.

Yes, if the constant barrage of emails from strangers suggesting that maybe your pecker isn't big enough, now we're going to have to contend with spam spreading Biblical messages. And the kicker: They tell you that to prove your love for God, you need to forward the message to even more people.

Good grief.

What makes this new scourge even more insidious is that the spam will be coming from people you know and are presumably already in your address book. That means your spam filter won't catch the stuff.

There are several people in my family who are devout Catholics. As a devout atheist, I can only pray that they don't start sending me this stuff.
