Religious chain mail is like all others, full of half-truthes, distortions, out of date concerns, lies and emotional battery designed to get people passing it on. All the religious chains accomplish then is to annoy, and put religion down in the same category as the hoaxes and scams.

Whispers Happy Day
Religious chains can come in the form of petitions, prayer wheels, inspirational tales usually designed to make you cry, these are sickly sweet stories known as
glurge.

They might even be any combination of the above, sprinkling religious references throughout chains that might be about something else entirely. The reference to God is a hook, usually meant to appeal enough to Christians so they will forward the email without question, whatever the subject might be. They often use phony statistics The Seven Percent Glurge Because everybody takes any stats seen in an email fwd as the gospel truth! A common ploy of religious chains is to whine that Christians are only a tiny minority among the vast majority of non and anti-Christians, and that religious forwards are infinitely fewer than joke chain mail. Nothing could be further from the truth. But it's all part of the big lie and manipulation to get people forwarding wildly!

Ack Another One!

Some people, religious or not, don't appreciate being preached at via chain letter. Receiving this type of fwd can make you wonder what it is about you that your friends feel you need and want this stuff more than an email written by them. Most people suffer silently because they don't want to upset their friends by telling them to Stop the Blasted Wheel!
