Typical email exchange with an establishment Christian
Establishment Christian: among other things, shallow and nigh socially retarded. One of the first things I noticed when I first began to interact with mainstream Christians on these various internet sites is their utter lack of ability to just talk to a person. I.e. just be normal. But they recognize the enemy, instinctively; and if you fear God rather than fear man you are the enemy.
Anyway, one of them recently has been complaining that I've been supposedly email-stalking him. I wrote a post about something he'd said on a forum. Then emailed him the link to it. Simple. No big deal. He wrote back complaining I didn't give him my social security number. So that was that. Then on the same forum he wrote another post on the same topic and I emailed him a link to a website on the subject of what he was writing about. Again, simple. (Not a webpage I wrote, by the way.) He wrote back:
Hey;
You know it isn't polite to keep emailing someone without an introduction. This makes twice. I don't know how you can expect me to be kindly disposed to you when you act like this.
[I withold his name]
Right. Because publically posted email is sooo personal. It's like I was tapping at his bedroom window or something. (See what I mean about these mainstream Christians? They're a bit 'off' always...)
Then I wrote him a response I often give these types where I suggest to them to stop acting like you are somebody. Something like that. (They don't usually get that, but that's OK. Something sinks in because they usually get mad.) This engendered this response:
You are extremely rude. Do not email me again until you give me a proper introduction.
Then I wrote him suggesting to him that he is a bit asleep - accompanied with a good biblical quote - and then I gave him my usual advice to read the Bible, the whole and pure Word of God - complete and let it do its potential work in him regarding perhaps waking him up. Of course this is going to be taken in a negative way. So be it.
Now he's over on a forum talking about how at the end of his rope he is regarding my incessant three emails...
A side note: in his emails he has a signature tag:
"Duties belong to man; outcomes belong to God" -Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson
As a postscript I merely wrote that that quote reminds me of this quote:
'T is man's to fight,
but Heaven's to give success. - Homer (Pope trans.)
He responded:
[Y]ou seem to prefer the quotes of pagan poets over Christians...
Hm. Remember what I said about shallow? And the moralising. (It doesn't even make sense, I wasn't posing one quote over the other.) Establishment Christians: formalism, moralism, ritualism, clericalism. Meanwhile remnant Christians are in contact with the whole and pure Word and the Spirit and fear only God...
