I get a lot of inadvertently funny emails. Some people think I am Pastor Melissa Scott, others a pastor who sells miracle water, and others still think I might be a pastor who wants to speak in Pakistan.
The latest one believes me to be a “Fellow Messenger of God” (so far, so good) who wants a personally inscribed Bible:
Dear Fellow Messenger of God,
My name is [redacted] and I would like to send you a personalized Bible. I am contacting you today so that you may be so kind as to help spread the Word of God. I am blessed to be part of a small company called Bibleco (www.Bibleco.com) where we sell a large variety of Bibles and also provide an imprinting service where Bibles can become a personalized treasure forever.
I was wondering if you could help us out by mentioning us on your website. I would love to personally inscribe one of our Bibles for you to have as your own.
Please write me back if you are interested, I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you and God Bless.
She asked to be mentioned on my website… and I’ve granted her request. However, I’ll skip the personally inscribed Bible — I’ve heard Jesus stopped doing that, anyway.
“we sell a large variety of Bibles”
Is that a tacit admittance of how often the BuyBull has been edited and altered?
Probably they mean they have versions in various shades of leatherette, with extra space for family records, expurgated kiddie version, large print for gran, etc.
Republican version: all reference to social justice and evil of money removed.
WBC version: extra verses about killing the gay.
And many more.
It could be a very smart viral marketing ploy.
I mean not only atheists come here and the ones printing the bible might be an atheist but has a good business.
Curses! You saw right through my clever plan.
Does anyone remember “Paper Moon?” Sounds like the deleted name may be Moses Pray.
Not everyone who sells god, believes in god. I have worked for a church for the last 4 years. I do believe that I am probably the only non-christian in the building though.
When I owned a consulting company, two of my clients were major religious printing houses. I sometimes felt a brief twinge of guilt over that, but never when they paid me.
” and I’ve granted her request”
Ya know I’ve been reading a long time…I could use $20….
Why am I getting a feeling of deja vu? o_O
I’d order one if they would inscribe the name “Satan” upon it.
Brilliant… I wonder if they would?
A. Would they if you told them you parents had a sick sence of humor and you wanted to worship god even more because of it
B. Would they if you told them they’d get your money for the book but you wanted SATAN printed on the cover because you hated religion and wanted a novelty book to make fun of it with
I think if they were good buisness people they wouldn’t even consider emails like this and just process the order lol
