I answered a question about interacial marriage. I mentioned my "hottie hispanic husband" and that he is agnostic, while I am a Christian, and a white girl. I got this email.
From: gwhiz1052
Subject: Your hottie husband
Message: is going to pull you down to hell with him

Her profile says shes kind, and a Christian. Does that email sound like Christian behavior to you?
I used to think the atheists were all wrong about us Christians, but here I am getting hate mail from one of my own!
Was I wrong to be offended? Oh, and it wont suprise me if some how this posts gets deleted, so answer quick!!

Okay, I admit it, it was rather spiteful for me to post it. Im certainly in the wrong for that. My apologie for acting a little rash, I was taken aback. I am however glad to hear that she has emailed others, at least now I know what Im dealing with.

While she was not right to send you that email, you, my dear, are also in the wrong for posting the mail and her profile. HOw spiteful can you get? You're setting her up for hate mail because she didn't agree with you.

Unfortunately, there are bad people of every faith and background. It's people like that who give Christians a bad name. It is okay to be offended, but at the same time we should be quick to be such and should reserve judgment for God.
Just because you married an infidel, just kidding, I'm Christian and married an agnostic also. Thankfully we can see the good in others regardless of religion, race or background.

Shame on that person and the need to show any kind of hatred for a fellow creation of God. We need to start looking at ourselves before we start throwing stones. You are correct, when christians quit bashing each other, the world might do so too. May God bless the union of any married couple and I will pray for the person that could not understand. Hate in our hearts is not the work of a christian. It is of Satan.

I get hate-mail like that too. The only people I receive it from identify with Christianity. It's a shame. All of my friends and co-workers who are Christians are very nice people, yet people like this are giving them a bad rep. Then again, every religion has their vocal minority that doesn't represent the average practitioner of that religion.

Wow...yeah that is pretty unchristian like of her. She didnt have to put it like that. It came off pretty bad. It's funny how people are. I think what she was trying to say was you all are unequally yoked. She probably believes if you are christian you need to be with another christian who shares your beliefs. What she failed to realize is everyone isn't the same and just because they are christian doesn't mean they share the same thoughts on things. I hope she didn't make you too angry. Congrats on your new hot husband!

Sounds pretty typical to me...but I wouldn't doubt if this person were under the age of 20 either. Sounds like someone is having a hard time with growing up and facing the demons of their personal life

I believe that is wrong behavior. A lot of Christians seem to think that beating people over the head and telling them they're going to hell is helpful. Hello!!
But.... although that person was wrong, you also can't take offense. Taking and holding offenses only hurts you. They say it's like drinking poison and hoping the other person dies. Release and forgive - pray for their changed heart.
I looked and that profile doesn't really look like she's a Christian. It says she has a strange mix of beliefs that don't look totally Christian to me. She sounds like a cut and paste theologan.

in case you want extra 'sparkling and tidy' events, then you truthfully could wash different flooring, airborne dirt and dust and varnish, sparkling living house windows, have a replace round with furniture, manage issues in a unique way, style through your kitchen etc Or some thing relaxing, bypass out and save till eventually you drop!

It could be someone claiming to be a christian when infact they want to make christians look bad instead- so they answer in this hostile way---I know many will do anything to make christianity look bad because they despise christians. That is what is really sad. If this person is a christian- I cannot see them writing that to you- That is awful. But then again there are many christians who are stuck in the "self righteous" stage- and they need to be broken-

That same person just a couple days ago also told me I was going to burn in Hell -- it was the first time I've ever received a comment like that in my direction. She's got a serious attitude problem or something.
