M*W: Thank you all for your responses.
It sounds to me that I am one of the unfortunate atheists who gets a barrage of unwanted religious emails from zealous christian friends who persist in trying to save my tainted soul. I live in the fly and zipper area below the Texas bible belt where a few delusional christians still wallow in and sling their religious fantasies electronically.
Sounds like the rest of you are lucky and live safely outside the bible belt.
No, you're not the only one. My cousin used to spam me with about 20 such emails a day, sometimes more. Half of them were religious prayer chain emails. She sent it to all of us (all my family spread around the world) basically. After several weeks of this annoying behaviour, not to mention aggravating as some of them contained viruses, I simply called her and told her to stop sending them to me. I explained that some of them contained viruses and that I really did not like getting constant chain emails. She understood and stopped and then started emailing normal things.. like photos and actual letters and jokes and stuff, which I appreciated a lot more. Within a week, my mother and other cousin's (all of whom are religious) around the world also followed suit and begged her to stop sending them.
It is annoying as hell to be honest. I can't stand them. The worst part is that I am very careful about who I give my email address to to avoid getting chain emails and getting spammed by junk. To have my own cousin spam me was teeth grinding annoying. Thankfully she understood and stopped. Had she continued, I'd have been forced to block her emails to be honest.
