At Easter I got about 6 different flyers asking me to come to churches (all of different varients of Christianity) for a sermon / service. Should these unsolicited flyers be classed as spam (maybe not the right word - but the forced below the line advertising), the same as credit card companies asking for you to sign up and fast food restaurants? Because you can ask the Post Office to stop delivering the junk mail to your door, but churches ask members to deliver it so you are forced to read it. So is it right you are forced to receive it and all the paper it waste. For the record, i think it is Spam and it should be stopped.

I think you should call the police if you are being "forced" to talk to people against your will and "forced" to read items against your will. This is just more atheist blather with the usual ridiculous claims of having been "forced" to participate in Christianity. No adult has ever been forced to participate that I know of,at least not in modern times. In any event since "church members" ( like all paranoid hallucinations,we see some distinct vagueness on detail; apparently there is no particular denomination involved ) have supposedly "forced you to read it" I guess I would wonder how they did that - did they use a gun,or what? And why you didn't call the police? As with all atheists and their weird tales of forced conversion and what-not,it's painfully obvious this is in your head. As for junk mail,I decide for myself what is or isn't and if I think it is I just throw it out,duh. I think all you atheists need help for this paranoid delusion that you are being "forced" to participate in church activities against your will. Anyway,nobody believes this crap. I think you're spam. I think all these atheist posting are spam.

FYI...You can ask the Postal Service to stop delivering your junk mail. But they cannot. The mailer pays the postage, not the receiver. If you think that the post office will not deliver 'junk mail' just because you asked, you are in error.
Sorry.

my understanding of spam is that you flood a site you don't like with emails or other information to the point where it cannot handle the volume and must close down.
Or in a military example: i launch 1 missile at the star destroyer and the lasers destroy it. So i launch 1000 missiles and the lasers cannot destroy them all. That is a new idea we call spamming.
I would say your fliers are junk mail not spam. It would be spam if they stuffed your mailbox so full the only thing you get is fliers because nothing else fits inside.

Spam is sold in a can!
Junk mail is a form of advertising used to entice one to participate in a program to propagate the solicitors business for profit or personal gain.
It's in your hands as to whether is goes in the trash can!

I have never gotten any kind of invitation through a church member knocking on my door! Just say "No thank you", and hand it back. Then close the door. If they are true Christians they will only pray for you after they have left your door. For Real???? 6 different Churches???????????? I don't know where you live but where I live we aren't sent door to door.And you say you were forced??????????? How????????You can get a sign for you door that says "No Solicitors." Put one up. I am a Christian and I have been for many years and I know many other Christians and none of us are sent door to door. I know one J.W. and she knows not to bring her reading materials to me because I told her I will respect her right to worship her way and I fully expected her to respect my right to do the same.

Why is it wrong? They are the only ones who don't want anything from you. They want to reach out and be of service. Take it or leave it, that's your choice. As for the paper wasting, well I think that's a bit farfetched. I could think of many other ways to recycle or save energy.

pst!
what you should do is dress up in all black (mabye some kind of long robe) and wear a pentagram (or backwards pentagram..not sure which side is evil) and go to one of the churches, start praying evil things and seem anarchic--that'll get their attention! if anyone asks why you are there just say that you got a invitation!
now if that doesn't stop them from sending them nothing will!
oh and btw yes it is spam..lol

It's junk mail, but it's more colorful junk mail than the credit card solicitations, at least.
