I'm a Christian myself (have been since May of 1999), and I will tell you that a proper Christian would post this where it is topical, and not where it is not topical. A post like this might be welcome in General but certainly not in a technical forum where posting guidelines are extremely clear.

Posting topics like this where they are a) not topical and b) not welcome and c) prohobited will only serve to harden hearts to those who are not receptive to Jesus Christ at this point in their lives. You're only giving unbelievers fuel to say "See those Christians, they're such hypocrites - they tell me not to sin and yet they cannot follow even simple rules themselves." - and you know what? It's sad but true: they're absolutely right.

Sheesh.

Hehehe

Relgious spam. I like that.

Really AFriend, this is not the place to propogate your religious beliefs. While not going into the merits/demerits of your religious faith, I suggest that this belongs to a Religious discussion board, not a technical suport forum for Linux.

P.S. We have a lot of atheists around here. While I am not an atheist, I am not a Christian either. Some of your points are highly debatable. Only not here, take it elsewhere will you?

Do you think heaven has WIndows XP or Linux? That question doesn't seem to be mentioned in the bible

Arrr Mateys, this be a hoijack of our good ship LQ, prepare to repel boarders.

Seriously, this is a technical board and spamming it with your chain letter is neither a good way to impress or to create converts. If your whole reason for signing up was to spam your wordage, bye.
