This is the one wherein Crimson Vermillion shares how much she hates stupid spam emails of bigotry.

Five people have sent me this bullshit spam.

"According to The Book Of Revelations the anti-Christ is: The anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40's, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and he in his power will destroy everything. is it OBAMA??"

This utter drek bullshit is driving me completely insane so I kind of ripped people a new one letting them know how damn stupid they look forwarding this nonsense. Read on.

You definitely want to read this to the end. People are misquoting the Bible and lying to you.


Ok here is a little something that any internet savvy person needs to know:

DO NOT BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ.

Seriously it is the surest sign of a jackass is someone who reads an email or other suspicious web content and just believes it.

I don't expect you to research every single bit of spam that falls into your inbox, but before you click "FORWARD ALL" you might consider checking the facts.

If you don't check your facts you will come off as an ignorant racists bigot. I am very serious when I say this. Furthermore you may panic people for no reason.

If you get an email and it scares you chances are someone crafted that email with half truths and outright lies and constructed it to scare you on purpose. These people are sick ignorant cruel bastards and you shouldn't help them by forwarding their hate to your family and friends.

There is a website that will do the research for you. It is called Snopes. [link] /a>

SNOPES [link]

Enter the topic of the frightening email and you will likely find that Snopes has covered it. Snopes even covers other sources of internet huckster bullshit such as myspace bulletin, youtube fake videos, and so on and so forth so if you think it might be bullshit, likely it is.

So therefore DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SEE!!!

For instance this video of a man pulling a practical joke and getting shot:
[link]


Looks real doesn't it?

It's a TV commercial that got cleverly cut and edited to scare the shit out of you. It is all over youtube and the chances are that most of the persons who host this garbage (I say garbage because it is clearly cut to imply that is it real some even have the stupid soundtrack removed to make it more scary.) don't even realize that they are putting out a lie. They are honestly horrified by this. Now there are plenty of real horrible things that people do that you might want to share with others but try not to share the lies. Do a little research. Snopes is your friend, they covered this hoax here [link]

But I still had to use Google to find out more about it and to find the original commercial.

This was not an easy fake to spot. I had to use logical thinking. Why did it have a strangely funny soundtrack. Who would put a laugh track on a murder video? It didn't add up. So I checked it out and found the snopes page, but that wasn't enough so I searched until I found this: [link]





So now that we know that the internet puts out bogus stuff just to scare us, what is the right thing to do?


If you get an AMBER ALERT ok forward it, but you should know that the "little girl" in question (it's always a little girl) may have already been found five years ago, or never existed at all.
If you get a warning about in internet predator, chances are he was caught ten years ago. Forward it anyway, there are still bad people out there and sometimes we need reminding.
Bad/poisoned pet food or babyfood, PASS IT ON, and you can take a moment to check it out later. We understand, pets and babies are precious and we would rather get a bogus warning than no warning at all.


However if someone writes you to warn you about the black United States presidential candidate being the antichrist written of in Revelations OPEN YOUR BIBLE TO REVELATION (no S) and read it, and then you will know that there is no mention of any antichrist in Revelation and that the passage they are trying to imply are the references to the beasts of the apocalypse. (Which are not described as 40 year old Muslims either.) As a matter of fact the only time antichrist is referenced is in the Letters of John, and no John doesn't describe any one man of any decent, nor could he EVER have called them a Muslim since the Islamic religion of Abu l-Qasim Muhammad ibn 'Abd Allāh al-Hashimi al-Qurashi aka "Muhammad" wasn't created until around 600 A.D which was about 400 years after the New Testament was written.

Furthermore, Barrack Obama is not an Arab. He is NOT of Middle Eastern decent. HE IS BLACK. HIS FATHER WAS FROM KENYA.

That is in Africa people!


Please if you are a Christian be a wise Christian and do not allow other people to manipulate you using your ignorance of the Bible and of your own religion. If any spam references the Bible, grab your own Bible and read it. Do a little research.

If you don't have a Bible handy I recommend the Blue Letter Bible website: [link] it has about ten different versions of the Bible that you can search with notes and such. It is very handy. I use it all the time.



If you got this email and you don't forward spam, then I sent it to you to share with those who are spamming you. If you do forward spam, forward this to the people who send you this crap. Heck send it to everyone. You aren't the only one forwarding bad information. They might want to forward it to others who do the same.

Seriously, don't let people use your faith against you to make you look like an ignorant person, a racist, or a bigot. Research before you forward.
