Christian Spam: Christian Mortgage USA

Several months back I posted a rant against "Christian" spammers in this blog. While the tide of spam from supposedly Christian organizations seems to have turned back for now, I received a particularly odious one this morning: It's spamvertizing a company called Christian Mortgage USA.

What is so noxious about this particular spam? It's that mortgage spam is one of your three or four main spam food groups. The previous "Christian" spam I was getting at least promoted Christian tools and services. This spam, on the other hand, has sunk to the new low of merely baptizing the shameless mortgage spam, turning it into a cynically capitalistic attempt to cash in on Christian recipients.

Of course, as with any spam, the proper thing to do is to delete it and never, ever purchase spamvertized goods or services, even if they do happen to mention Jesus. Spam is bad. Jesus is not. Do you really want to financially aid someone who is essentially making the name of Jesus into a sleazy marketing technique? I didn't think so.
