"Bible-believing" email

[Spotty]

Oh I don't believe this. A self-professed "Bible-believing" Christian emailed me and was witnessing to me about being Roman Catholic and the typical misunderstood evangelical thoughts regarding the Faith. It was kinda funny, as I could tell it was copy and paste type arguments - the classics about the Apocrypha, Mary, Eucharist and the Pope.

Well, I typed up about 2 pages to send to him and when I went to find his address, I accidently deleted his address in the process!

Ironic too, because I was telling my girlfriend who was patiently waiting for me that I needed (wanted) to write this to him. Turns out that God had something else in mind, and that was for me to realize that I do things at the worst times, which is what she was telling me as well. Then I deleted his address (after 20 mintues of writing) and felt that God and my girl were ganging up on me...showed me.

Anyway, whatrya gonna do? Thought I would vent my now humbled frustration.

haha sometimes happens to me, too. Once i spent an hour typing out an apologetic instead of doing homework and when i posted it, something went wrong and the whole thing got deleted.

Perhaps you could post your response letter here, all names omitted of course, for the benefit of other "evangelicals" who might get this bright idea ...
I'm sure that what you had to say would be helpful! And it would allow you to vent!

I get those stupid emails all the time too.

I think I would post my response here, but it was admittedly thrown together pretty quickly and hopefully he'll contact me again. I'll polish it up if he does. Glad to know I'm not alone in this experience.

Happens occasionally. I'm never sure who doesn't want me to finish writing something, though.

I do know that it seems more common when I'm angry - but then, confirmation bias says I'll remember it more when I'm frustrated than I will when I'm calm and it's no big deal.
