Army of God :::ALERT:::

Post by pHpLords.Net »

I was just informed by a fellow atheist who monitors/lurks [a Christian bulletin board] that some of their members have been contacted by The Army of God and asked to go to my amazon.com book page and post slandering reviews to discredit the book.

For a while now I was receiving strange and threatening emails from some 8 different christian fanatics and I believe they may be part of the AOG group.

If anything should happen to me at least someone knows/has an idea what may have happened.

The worst case scenario I can think of? Some people are probably not buying your book.

Threatening emails? Spam. No reason to freak out.

Hmmmm... just sounds like you're promoting your book and website to me. If you voice your views to people who you know won't like it then you can expect nothing less than a negative responce.

No kidding... Peace and harmony my ass. Shall we have another crusade and send all the children out to die again? God would love that! :roll:

Anyway, I haven't heard anything and most of my family refers to themselves as born-agains. My wife and I just had our wedding a couple of weeks ago and sent a book on creationism back to some of my family who have a website devoted to it and brainwashing other people to agree with them. I agree with patrikG as far as the e-mails go. I would only start to worry when dead animals get dropped off at your doorstep or something along those lines.

Gen-ik does raise a good point, though. Can't really say that a php forum would come to mind first to ask about a subject even remotely related to this. Even for the general discussion section.

I agree with Gen-ik -- I think it is inappropriate to use this forum for subtle (read "sneaky") promotions of your for-pay website and your for-sale book.

I do not consider your contributions an asset to this forum.

They're christians, and are against abortions. Yet they have a dead fetus on the front page without warning anyone.

I tell ya, some people have no sense, what so ever.

Your right there mate, you can't escape religion.............. it will eventually catch up and shot you in the head, burn you alive, beat you to death, or drop a bomb on you.

If there is such a thing a Heaven and Hell then religion is probably the best idea Satan has ever had.... nothing else causes so much sorrow, pain, violence and death in the world!
