What is up with people who send emails to others like this all of the time? should I maybe keep reading these and consider it like the "little green man" on my shoulders or consider it one gung ho "bible thumper" trying to make a statement?
When I am being a "bad girl" I certainly don't want someone to keep reminding me and trying to make me think that being a "bad girl" is going to send me to hell .... I mean come on now ..
It's sorta like getting it on with a sexy gal and hearing your mother yelling at your or the wife catching you in the action ...

1. How did Isaiah know the earth was round in 700 B.C.?
He sits upon the circle of the earth - Isaiah 40
2. Do you remember the 911 World Trade Center?
In the day of the great slaughter when the towers fall - Isaiah 30
3. Global Warming - He seems to know that as well?
The earth shall wax old like a garment - Isaiah 51
4. This person sounds very familiar. I wonder who he is talking about?
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities. - Isaiah 53
5. I heard our "Scientists" have recently proven the universe is constantly expanding?
He stretches out the heavens like a curtain and spreads them out - Isaiah 40
6. Did you know Isaiah called you blind?
Hear you deaf and look you blind so that you may see - Isaiah 42
7. Do they not all fail the "I think I am a good person" test?

to justify their babble are something of an enigma, but I guess it takes all kinds. I have a few friends that seem to send this tripe all the time and I have gotten accustomed to using the DEL key without reading. Whatever you do, don't write back and say you thought it was _______ (fill-in the blank). These fools have too much time on their hands and with an unwavering faith in the good book will use to quote you to death. And BTW, did you know you were going to hell? That's Revelations 6:10, Old Testament of course...

They come from the mind of a crazed, stupid religious fanatic------I never open those sort of letters----comes with the territory of being a happy atheist----
Shall be cast into eternal damnation, unless of course you pay for it, then it's nothing personal, just business (Michael Corleone 7:11) The Book of Sicilian's.
I had to stop corresponding with my best friend from High School after he was "born again". I couldn't get him to stop trying to convert me. Some people just take it upon themselves to run other peoples lives for them.
There are many Christian bible believers who see the bible as a call to those who fall short of their God's perfect love to respond to that love and move toward his level of perfection. To these ones who have "gotten it" the religion is a hospital for sinners (them included) which is inclusive and attractive.
There are many Christian bible thumpers who see themselves as "in the club" and all others as condemned and have missed the point entirely.
The same holds true for all other spiritual beliefs. You can spot someone who "has gotten it" in any of these beliefs too. They are loving not condemning, they practice "attraction, not promotion" and you want to be around them.
Then there are those as said above that take their belief system and totally contort it to justifiy hate and the most attrocious activities and these not only haven't gotten it but are sick!
IMHO.... of course!
I would not have opened it have I known it was what it was . The subject line through me off .
After about 3 from the same email addy I blocked them .
They took the time to go to my web site and take bits and pieces from my web site and form their "message" to me .
I have NO pity for people who push "religion" upon others . It really just pisses me off to be honest .
Face it, Layla, some people are just plain IDIOTS!!!!!!
And I am not anti-religion, but.....sometimes they make me wonder.

They're ignorant and they hope you are too. Can you really trust a text in which the earth is created before the stars? And dinosaurs are never mentioned? Please!
That's the great thing about vague, general statements: they can mean anything you want.
Isaiah he should shut the fuck up.
I occasionally get weird emails from people on my myspace like this. The best is when the Scientologists try to email me stuff. hahahaha. That's just good fun to fuck with them and call them a cult.(Watch them react to THAT! haha)
I'd ignore it. It has nothing to do with you specifically. It's just some person trying to spread the word about his chosen religious group.

to go into my web site and write things like this to me .. Some of you know I have a few icons to express my feelings on LIFE and this industry on my site . One of the icons is "Dead men tell No Lies" .
Here is the email they sent me regarding my icon.
Sub:A Dead man's tale for Layla
A respiratory nurse who works in an emergency room told me about a patient who had gone “code red” – he flat lined. She and some other medical personnel rushed over with the defibrillator to try and bring him back to life. They applied the paddles and revived him. She said that he started screaming and shouting “the heat, the heat!” then his heart stopped again. They brought him back a second time. He shouted “The flames, the flames!” They lost him again. Four times the man flat lined and was brought back, each time shouting about the heat or the flames. After the last time, he died and they could not bring him back. She said all the doctors and nurses just stood there for a few minutes and stared at the body. They all knew that man went to hell.
Author Mark Cahill – From the book One Heartbeat Away
that these people have nothing better to do, have nothing but time.
Their whole miserable life is spent chastizing, denegrating, harrassing people who are, in their twisted mind, evil, not on the "right path".
Your best option is to ignore them, block their email address, or list them a spam.
Delete their emails as soon as you see it's from them.
They are not worth your time.
Just my opinion...

I'm a hard sell, probably, but it sounds like it refers more to the paddles projecting high heat and electricity to his body combined with a dying mind that's probably hallucinating.

for all people and for all times. Without truly examining other belief systems, or really even their own for that matter.
Laughably foreign concept to me.
It makes me upset as well when people send me these types of emails. I could probably quote more scripture than they can. I have been taught that you hate the sin but love the sinner, even if it is your best friend, your husband or yourself. I personally have gone to church me entire life. I also can't stand the two faced attitudes that most people have that do go. The last "church" I attended turned me off so much that I haven't gone back since. I was a member for two years and in that time I always felt very very weird around several of the men in the church. They were so "holy" but were always staring at me. No one ever said anything disrespectful to me but it still creeped me out. After I left one of my friends who was a long time member there called to talk to me and she was talking about how 4 of the deacons and their wives would "wife swap" on the weekends.
They were the kind of people who just naturally creeped you out. I always felt weird around them and I knew something was off. Was I shocked that they were closet swingers? No. I was not shocked at all, but what did make me mad was the attitude they had for others and the fact that they were just as guilty of "perversions" as anyone else.
What has this experience taught me? To love myself, enjoy my life and stick to my beliefs as I perceive them and not how someone else shoves them down my throat.
Remember, some of the worst men in history were that way because of "religion". Live your life good and be kind to others. You will be repaid for that in the end.

I, because of my personal beliefs, have difficulties with this sort of pestering. You want to convert folk? really convert them? stop annoying them, just live and exemplary life... take care of business (ie, your family), love your neighbor, do no harm. that sums it up fairly well - I have tried hard to understand why sex is such an issue. Makes you feel good, harms no one (if done correctly) and promotes folks getting along. So... you get this - aimed at you!
Remember, this is done by folks who probably don't have much else to do. their life is so void of human relations that this is their connection with life. I too go to church... but NOT to socialize - rather to meditate and prey... and to take my kids to provide them with a moral compass.... but not much else.
the kicker, folks tell me that I cannot be a scientist and a christian - the dinosaur thing.... (Actually they are not incompatible.) but somehow I manage... but my question is - WHY must I believe like fundamental XXX (christian, catholic, muslim, jewish, buddhist, taoist, agnostic etc) religious fanatic in order to have the "true" spirit of belief... If organized religions whould quit preaching that "this is the only way to believe and YOU MUST convert others" then the planet would be a lot better off....
or at least that is what I think....
