WTF?

Why do people insist on sending me the "You won't wake up one day " emails? No shit Sherlock, we're all gonna die one day. I try to not look at most emails that start with cartoon smiley faces or phrases like "If I were to die today..."
Crap people, it's email. I will not forward your chain mail. I will not send this back to you to prove our friendship is true. What is wrong with people?
My mother-in-law is a nice, God fearing person. She is good to me and not too bad as far as mother-in-laws are concerned. But a couple weeks ago she sent me a lovely email. She was so in to the site that she called to make sure I'd read it and to tell me we could discuss it later. She thought it would be relevant to me and went so far as to send it to Brad also. It was a link to a site that has the end of the world predicted to take place this June. I just thought I'd let anyone know in case they want to tidy up the house a bit before the anti-Christ comes a knocking. Why in the hell would my husband's mother send me such lovely stuff? I have no clue. I did particularly enjoy the passages that referenced the Bible and loosely related it to current events. What was even better was the warning to "Those with child and who nurse little babies" about how our children will starve after fire(nuclear warfare) rains down from the heavens. Loved it, loved every last effing word of the virtual crap she emailed me.
Thanks, like I don't have enough on my mind, lets add eminent doom and destruction to the list. This goes in my WTF? category. I'm not a religious zealot, truth be told I'm not really that religious. Spiritual yes, religious no. I loved my church at home. We've been to churches out here in Utah, but belong to none of them. I am comfortable with my relationship with God. I pray with my son everyday. I talk to God everyday myself. Praying works for me. Helps me deal with crazy people(mother-in-laws), crazy events(what ever is on the nightly news), and the general craziness of my life. But in my ongoing dialog with God he has never mentioned that I need to pencil in Armageddon for June 2007. Isn't the end of the world supposed to happen when not a soul on earth can predict it?
So I am just in a pissy mood and wanting to bitch. I have not a thing wrong in the world but the emails and chain letters have gotten under my skin. These are not exclusively email, no they sneak into Myspace's bulletin board. I will not re-post some random line of crap so a homicidal clown will spare slaughtering me and my loved ones. Come on, a man under my bed will eat me if I don't re-post your message in two-hundred seconds with the title "Guess who's pregnant"? I'm an adult. I believe in karma, you keep sending this crap out- a homicidal clown just might track you down. I believe in God, I also believe that Jesus won't turn his back on you for not re-posting bulletins that try to make you question your own faith while at the same time undermining God's importance in life. I do not believe in chain mail, if I read a bulletin/email and do not follow it's cryptic instructions and delete it, nothing will happen to me as a consequence.
So if you agree re-post this with the title "Guess what I got caught in my zipper" and do so with in the next three minutes or your phone will ring and when you answer you'll be told the time and date of your death and the caller will be your future murderer.
