I got a "Prayer Rug" that said al I had to do was pray for whatever I wanter, including material possesions. Then I had to send it back so someone else could use it. And all this while, I could have sworne that god didn't help with the material world beyond what was absolutly nessecary.

(I unlocked the topic. I assume it was Sangu who locked it but nevermind, just give a reason in the future when you lock things. You can also move them to the subforum, or leave them here and I'll move em or unlock em.
While it may not be an incredibly in-depth topic, it's still an okay topic to leave open.

EDIT- In the future though, and this is just a general thing for everyone to keep in mind, try to put more into a topic. Give more to discuss. We don't want to end up with a flood of short topics that die with 3 or 4 short replies.)

I usually just get freaky chainletters about how you're going to die.
What would be the point of having a 'Prayer Rug' sent to you? I could understand if it was some feel good optimistic thing, but it's basically trying to get you to pretend that you can make God bend to your will. Is the internet now more powerful than God? o.o

Actually, I still have a chain letter that I got on aim because Adium saves everything in a logviewer. >.>
This was the entire IM the other person sent. I think the chainletter is supposed to be another IM.

Perhaps Sanguvixen's initial locking of this topic was prophetic.
I understand the post is funny, but we don't really need alot of spam sorta stuff about it either. o.x And that's more of a head's up for those who reply after this.

If I even suspect an e-mail of being a chain letter, I delete with giving it another look. mad

Acually, it was in the mail, and it came with a piece of paper with gods face on it and everything. Yeah, it's the worst when they tell you that if you don't mail it you get some bad side effect.

Wait...they mailed an actual letter to your house? Ho-lee s**t. That's kind of creepy.

Chain letters did pre-date the Internet, you know.

But what do you, my fellow atheists do, when someone in your family insists on emailing you all these hokey internet forwards that are full of holes and bullshitty? I don't want to offend my family members, and it's hard to tell before I open them what they will be, but I'm sick of reading about some supposed USC professor who dropped a piece of chalk and it didn't break, blah-blah, ran from the room, college student converts dozens of fellow-students, blah-blah?

Oh my God, I got the exact same thing. They sent me two letters. eek I just got a magic marker and drew on Jesus' face to make him look like Groucho Marx on the prayer rug, and then I sent it back. xd Yes...I know I'm immature. gonk On your prayer rug, did it say to look into the eyes of Jesus and they will open? lol I believe it came from some chruch in the Midwest. I'm usually respectful about that kind of thing, but when they send me a damn chainletter and expect me to send it back with money, I get pissed. I also put little side notes beside everything in really bad handwriting.

For example, when they asked me if I wanted to be saved, I wrote "BYE SUPPERMAN?!?!?!?"

It was pretty creepy, but I must say that I had some fun vandalizing everything they sent and sending it back to them. Luckily, I don't have my address on any of the things, so I'll be fine. 3nodding
