A
friend of the drummer who played for Ozzy at OzFest!
Another
star-studded episode of Hate Mail...
just for you.
As
usual the Hate Mail letters are in blue
and mine are in black and white.

All
right then.
You're not going to include pictures? This is what you get!
Here's a picture of Hannah & her family to go along with a little
story she sent.
Happy?!?
I
was looking around your site on the fanmail section, (thanks
so much for posting mine!), Anyways, and
I began reading this:
|
"hi
again, well i e-mailed my uncle your web site, wrote
Information on the Life of Jesus and linked it to your
site. See my unle is extremly religion(christian) and
believes in jesus and all that stuff. Well it certinly
put his panties in a bundle. I **** out his e-mail address
and his last name just so if he goes back to your site,
he won't read his e-mail address, but you can put all
of this on ur site or not. I think this is what you
wanted me to do, and my uncle did call my parents but
they don't like my uncle so i told them i never sent
anything...hehehe i think that this reply from my uncle
deserves to see the hollywood web site thanks-
"You've
sent me such a disusting web site. I am truley upset
with the actions you've taken on your faith and how
you have disrespected me and my religion.
I
am planning on contacting that web site and telling
how unhuman that site is. Please don't ever e-mail me
anything that is trash and dirty and disrespects myself
and my faith. I hope you are truley ashamnet of yourself.
Tell your parents that they will recieve a phone call
from me."
Sincerley, Adam

And I thought,
what a good idea! The day before I had received this forward:
|
"Satan
called a worldwide convention of demons. In his opening
address he said, "We can't keep Christians from going
to church." "We can't keep them from reading their Bibles
and knowing the truth." "We can't even keep them from
forming an intimate relationship with their savior.
"Once they gain that connection with Jesus, our power
over them is broken. "So let them go to their churches;
let them have their covered dish dinners, but steal
their time, so they don't have time to develop a relationship
with Jesus Christ. "This is what I want you to do",
said the devil: "Distract them from gaining hold of
their Savior and maintaining that vital connection throughout
their day!", "How shall we do this?" his demons shouted.
"Keep them busy in the nonessentials of life and invent
innumerable schemes to occupy their minds," he answered.
"Tempt
them to spend, spend, spend, and borrow, borrow, borrow.
"Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours and
the husbands to work 6-7 days each week, 10-12 hours
a day, so they can afford their empty lifestyles. "Keep
them from spending time with their children." "As their
families fragment, soon, their homes will offer no escape
from the pressures of work! "Over-stimulate their minds
so that they cannot hear that still, small voice. "Entice
them to play the radio or cassette player whenever they
drive. "To keep the TV, VCR, CDs and their PCs going
constantly in their home and see to it that every store
and restaurant in the world plays non biblical music
constantly. "This will jam their minds and break that
union with Christ. "Fill the coffee tables with magazines
and newspapers. "Pound their minds with the news 24
hours a day. "Invade their driving moments with billboards.
"Flood their mailboxes with junk mail, mail order catalogs,
sweepstakes, and every kind of newsletter and promotional
offering free products, services and false hopes. "Keep
skinny, beautiful models on the magazines and TV so
their husbands will believe that outward beauty is what's
important, and they'll become dissatisfied with their
wives. "Keep the wives too tired to love their husbands
at night." "Give them headaches too! If they don't give
their husbands the love they need, they will begin to
look elsewhere. That will fragment their families quickly!
Give them Santa Claus to distract them from teaching
their children the real meaning of Christmas.
Give
them an Easter bunny so they won't talk about his resurrection
and power over sin and death. Even in their recreation,
let them be excessive. Have them return from their recreation
exhausted. Keep them too busy to go out in nature and
reflect on God's creation. Send them to amusement parks,
sporting events, plays, concerts, and movies instead.
Keep them busy, busy, busy! And when they meet for spiritual
fellowship, involve them in gossip and small talk so
that they leave with troubled consciences. Crowd their
lives with so many good causes they have no time to
seek power from Jesus. Soon they will be working in
their own strength, sacrificing their health and family
for the good of the cause." "It will work!" "It will
work!" It was quite a plan!
The
demons went eagerly to their assignments causing Christians
everywhere to get more busy and more rushed, going here
and there. Having little time for their God or their
families. Having no time to tell others about the power
of Jesus to change lives. I guess the question is, has
the devil been successful at his scheme? You be the
judge! Does "busy" mean:
B-eing
U-nder
S-atan's
Y-oke?
Please
pass this on, if you aren't too BUSY"

I got that
from somebody I actually know and some of her friends, and other
people I know, etc. Anyways, I decided to reply all and send
them a link to dress up jesus, accept I titled the link "Click
Here: Friends of Jesus!" .. Heres my personal favorite of the
responses i got:
|
Hannah-

grandpa who is a pastor is going to see it! please email

"A drummer I played with in NYC
was Ozzy's drummer at Ozfest summer 2000" |
Excellent
counterpoint!!! Okay - obviously, you've got a brain - this
is a good thing - but man, your cynicism... I don't know if
that's such a good thing.
I
totally understand where you're coming from as far as the
friend, music, art, movie thing. In church yesterday our pastor
advised that parents not take their kids to see the new Harry
Potter movie - "it's witchcraft" he said.
Last
night I saw an ad for the movie and I'm thinking "that looks
pretty cool!" And Halloween is actually my favorite holiday,
and Black Sabbath and Blue Oyster Cult are two of my favorite
bands. A drummer I played with in NYC was Ozzy's drummer at
Ozfest summer 2000 - I went, hung out with him and Sharon
and some of the backstage folk and it was cool -- except that
Ozzy is just like a walking shell of his old self - kindof
"lights are on, no one's home..."
I
haven't thrown away my record collection (except for an old
Mercyful Fate record which wasn't that great anyway), nor
have I lost all my friends, or stopped hanging out with them.
I haven't given up my "art" which is music - and I still see
the occasional racy movie... and yes, I still drink a couple
of beers from time to time.
But
as I continue growing "closer to God" [ in the book of James
it says "come closer to God and he will come closer to you"
] I have more and more been lacking the desire to go out and
get shitfaced, or see an R-rated movie that really isn't that
great anyway (seen Reindeer Games?), or to hook up with some
big bosomed redhead at the bar and go check out her apartment
and what's underneath her skirt afterward. Some people NEVER
lose their desire for these things, no matter how much it
is destroying their marriage, relationships, life.
And
I think musical tastes for most people tend to shift as you
get older anyway. I've pretty much worn out those Sabbath
albums- and I listen to them less and less. I'm a better guitar
player now than when I was a non-Christian - I believe it
can be a God-given thing.
Basically
- what is happening to me is what Paul said in Romans happened
to him - you accept Christ, and slowly, these things start
to fall away ... it's not an overnight thing, but you lose
your desire for the "less Holy things." I would say a good
80% of my friends are not Christian - but they're still my
friends and I love them. And no, I don't try to grill the
gospel into them - but I do try to plant a seed... and I know
a seed has been planted with you.
You
can fight it and rationalize and use "logic" (the Bible I
know - is very illogical - and subject to intrepretation -
and yeah, it was translated and things get lost in translation),
but that seed is there. Might blossom, might not... but ah...
well... I'm running on here -
I
just hope it changes you.
Even just a little.

Whoa, sorry about
jumpin' on ya! You're obviously a pretty cool guy. You almost
had me goin' with that ignorant, hypocritical B.S. you were
shovelin' in that first letter. Christ, I thought you were
one of THEM!
And yes, the seed
has been planted! I've had my doubts in the past but I hadn't
considered goin' halfway like you're doing. It sounds like
a hella lot easier way to be a Christian! I mean until I get
into it deep.
You know, it's
weird. You and me are a lot alike. I totally love Halloween!
B.O.C. rocks! And shit, I HATED Reindeer Games! What's up
with that guy?! And that fucker in the car! HA HA!... He totally
sucked! LOL!
But seriously,
I suppose that I could buy into the illogical parts of the
Bible (it'd be like playin' a game of D&D). It's just all
the stuff I ain't ready to give up... gettin' drunk all the
time, fuckin' around under some hot chick's skirt, R-rated
movies and shit like that. That shit is FUN! I'm just not
ready to stop partying!
I appreciate you
stickin' to it and gettin' through to me. I can be pretty
stubborn sometimes. Like you said, maybe I'll blossom, maybe
I won't. We'll just have to wait and see : )

"I'm not one of those old grannies
who go round saying 'oh you horrible horrible people..." |
I'm
not one of those old grannies who go round saying 'oh you
horrible horrible people" in a paranoid sort of way, but in
this case I'm willing to make an exemption. You are sick people
and I for one am horrified that such a web sight could be
put on the internet. Do you know how much pain he would have
been in when he died?! well I wish you could understand how
angry and upset I am.
you
are sick!!!!

Suze,
I've had your email
in my mail box for some time now. I've been trying to find
a way to explain myself to you. I don't see what I'm doing
as any different than if I were making fun of somebody who's
been killed painlessly or a criminal who's executed for his
crimes. They all have the same outcome and they're all sinners
who'll be judged by God in the end. It's the suffering part
that I'm turning into a joke. Like how you might tease someone
that's been run over by a car or something.
I hope that you
can see where I'm coming from. Maybe we just have different
senses of humor.

Oh, but being Anthony
Hays shall be a triumphant awards ceremony, where God is Host,
the audience is angels and the guest of honor is you, winning
the Best Male Lead in the star studded production of Life.
You'll be the envy
of us all Anthony, as we're presented with a 2nd place standing
in the fiery pits of eternal damnation.
And what a show
it will be!

Are you sorry for
them because it might sadden them,
or because I defeated God?
