This is topic If God emailed you and said you were Chosen to be his saviour you would... in forum Books, Films, Food and Culture at Hatrack River Forum.
I personally would forward it to someone else. Others said they'ld delete it and block the sender .
Posted by KPhysicsGeek (Member # 8655) on :
probably think it was a hoax. (delete, block sender) If I became convinced it was real, I would probably have a mental breakdown.
Posted by Gryphonesse (Member # 6651) on :
I seriously doubt God has me on the email list...
Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :
I accidently put God on my spam list.
In return he put me on his.
I definately came out the loser on that exchange.
But I'm feeling much better now.
Actually, I believe God has better, more authorative ways of communicating to his chosen one than via e-mail.
There is always Fed-Ex.
Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :
Given Fed-Ex's connection to Kinkos, I'm skeptical that he has any alliance there. I think he might use UPS or DHL or something, though.
Posted by Architraz Warden (Member # 4285) on :
After working for a shipping company, I'm convinced when it comes to packages there is nothing safe, sacred, or special about the process.
He would use a personal courier.
EDIT: And can I get an amen to Megan's Kinko's reference.
Posted by KarlEd (Member # 571) on :
I'd reply asking for more details. After all, if he's trying to find another one, he must have realized the last one didn't work out so well.
Posted by ifmyheartcouldbeat (Member # 8692) on :
I'd ask him.."wow...how many declines did you get before you got to my name on the list?"

*singing* Jesus called me on my cell-phone...
This thread brings back happy memories of Altar Boyz. Posted by Sterling (Member # 8096) on :
I'd probably be tempted to reply something like "No offense, Almighty, but if you really want me to enter into a life-altering course I'd rather see something along the lines of a burning bush than the common tool of ten million spammers."
Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :
God tried calling me on my cell phone, but he wasn't in my calling plan.
Posted by Olivet (Member # 1104) on :
...really wonder why He needed a savior, being God and all.

Delete it, if he gets past my spam and filters next time, maybe it really is God?
Posted by JannieJ (Member # 8683) on :
Is the email domain dot god or dot com? That's how you could tell if it's real or not.
Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :
This thread makes me want to bump the "God, you say" thread.
Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :
Olivet, that's what I was thinking.
Megan, God likes it when you bump the "God, you say" thread.
Posted by Olivet (Member # 1104) on :
LOL! I first read that as "Bob likes it when you bump the 'God, you say' thread."
*snerfle*
Edit:nested quotes suck, solly.

refuse to give my bank account number.
Posted by Nell Gwyn (Member # 8291) on :
I was reminded of the Nigerian millionaire scam emails too - with emails from God, I'd probably just archive them. I'd be tempted to reply and try to mess with him, but I don't know if I actually would...just in case.

If God emailed me and said I was Chosen to be his saviour I would explain to him that I'm very sorry but I only help those who help themselves.
What's wrong with Kinkos?
Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :
It's eeeeeeeeeeeeeevil.
Posted by Avatar300 (Member # 5108) on :
But why?
Posted by romanylass (Member # 6306) on :
I'm married to a Kinko's employee. They're really evil. If I somehow got on God's email list, I'd ask Him to e-mail my husband and tell him to get a better job.
Posted by Beren One Hand (Member # 3403) on :
I would tell God the good news about my auto insurance.
Posted by Avatar300 (Member # 5108) on :
Does your good news involve switching something?
Posted by Beren One Hand (Member # 3403) on :
No, just basically that I finally got some. Posted by Avatar300 (Member # 5108) on :
Oh...well...that's good, too, I suppose.
Posted by Joldo (Member # 6991) on :
I'd tell him to get rid of AOL and then maybe we'd talk.
And when I say get rid of AOL, I don't mean stop using it as his default browser.
Posted by Occasional (Member # 5860) on :
E-mail him that I got the message the other ten or twenty times. Then I would ask him for directions to "Mount Zion" and what kind of shoes to wear.
Posted by Joldo (Member # 6991) on :
I'd think Birkenstocks would be the obvious answer.
Posted by Danzig (Member # 4704) on :
I would never have to pay for wine again.
Posted by Altáriël of Dorthonion (Member # 6473) on :
Yeah Danzing, make sure you get the bottle of Dom. Romanee Conti 1997 and give me one or two for the holiday season.
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
...turn myself in for psychiatric evaluation.
Posted by pfresh85 (Member # 8085) on :
I'd reply back to ask him where's he's been recently.
Posted by camus (Member # 8052) on :
Would being Saviour require forwarding the email to at least ten friends?
Posted by JaimeBenlevy (Member # 6222) on :
ask if I'd have to die a painful death involving wood and shiny nails. Then accept.
Posted by ShadowPuppet (Member # 8239) on :
funny thing
cause I just got that email and um...
yeah you're all sinners so repent or something
fish and bread loaves walk on water something something
and... oh yeah I really didn't want George Bush to be president
he just keeps saying that
Posted by Presences (Member # 8492) on :
The email to me would end by saying, “I know who you are” and “I know what you are looking for”
I would think: "Wow, that is weird...the matrix”
and then I would wait for the next email that said “follow the white rabbit”.
A few seconds following this email, there will be a knock at my door and...
