The Life of a Spammer

Posted by timothy on from the neighbor-v-neighbor dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ran an interesting article today about the life of a "small time" spammer. It is interesting to note that even a religiously zealous grandmother can mire our inboxes with junk." That's Flo Fox, of Slidell, LA.

    I didn't see in the whole Bible any anti-spam advises. Even more, the whole history of cristian missioneering reminds me a big spam compain to distribute the Bible around the world.

    no where in the Bible does it say "thou shalt not spam"

    And your verse would only apply if she got upset from getting spammed herself.

    "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

    She's spamming unto you so spam unto her.

    I really hate it when people try to drag the Bible into every facet of life. There are many a things that are neither commanded nor condemed by the Bible. You have to think for yourself.

    However the Bible does command you to follow the government so long as it doesn't contradict God's word. Since God has nothing to say about spam, she's at the whims of the government on this one.

    If she is breaking the law, THEN the church should condemn her for it.

    Not because the Bible says "do unto" but because she disobeyed the government which God has established and commanded her to follow.

    So yes, the Bible does apply but not in the way you twisted it to.
