The growth area in unsolicited e-mail is now messages that contain religious themes. And the bad news is that unlike commercial spam, it's not illegal. E-mail recipients are increasingly being offered religious salvation through the power of spam, according to security company MessageLabs. The antispam company has intercepted a large number of spiritual e-mails in the last month. The company says the e-mails are legal because they don't plug products, just religious ideals.
Oh yeah, I'm sure that'll endear Christianity to the world. Grrr…

Yes, but we're only at sub-1 percent marketshare. We're gonna' all have to get in on this to overtake those mortgage fiends, not to mention the gamblers and pornographers — the medical spammers may seem an unrealistic target, but with faith and commitment, we may someday eclipse them too.
Can't you see? The goal is to save souls, if not totally alienate them on a global scale…
