There's a email poll circling on a lot of the social sites - MySpace, Facebook,etc that contains a list of misdeeds and a dollar amount for each thing. Some amounts are low, others are higher - and it has everything from "ever peed in a pool" to much racier content. - The point is you send to people you know will find it funny (not offensive) and all they do is add up the total and post "My fine is $__.__" on their profile. - No harm there, in my opinion.
It's been fun, until one ex-schoolmate decided to pipe up and post "My fine has been paid in full by the old rugged cross."
First, whoever forwarded the email to a bible-banger - IF that's what happened- was an idiot.
Second, while I know it's childish and I should be a bigger person, I am deeply offended by him feeling the need to take something that was innocent and silly and turn it into a podium for religious proselytizing.
I'm frustrated. And yes, a little disappointed in myself for letting it get to me.
