Savage Love Savage Love Letter of the Day
Posted by Dan Savage on Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 4:19 PM
I actually get fewer letters like this than most people think...
STOP DOING THE DEVIL'S WORK! STOP BEING A TOOL OF SATAN! GO AND SIN NO MORE!I saw your advice column and the "advice" that you gave is so SATANIC it is EVIL unadulterated. I know you may think it is a joke, but if you don't REPENT to the LORD JESUS CHRIST and ask him to take away the "stony heart" and "wash your mind" and "sanctify your soul" and "regenerate your spirit" you truly will spend ETERNITY with your CURRENT MASTER SATAN. It is NOT because Jesus Christ does NOT love you... He made a WAY OUT OF NO WAY so that you do not have to reap the damnation of HELL or give SERVITUDE to your "ADVERSARY THE DEVIL." YOU ARE BLIND. AND, JESUS CHRIST WANTS YOU TO ***SEE***. You may Laugh now. But, I weep. I'm crying on the inside for you. You don't even realize you are spreading WICKEDNESS.
And, yet you think the "rewards" of your deeds in the flesh will be sufficient. Your spirit is so dead on the inside that you have allowed the SPIRIT OF PERVERSIONS and SATAN to have RULE over your body, your mind and your spirit. REPENT! That he may not have rule over your Eternal Soul.Repentance means "turn away" turn from your wicked ways, sir. I pray you are NOT REPROBATE and will have EARS to HEAR what the SPIRIT OF THE LORD saith unto you this day—"REPENT!" GOD IS FAITHFUL and JUST TO FORGIVE SIN. THOUGH YOUR SINS BE AS SCARLET—HE WILL WASH YOU AS WHITE AS SNOW.
Do not allow the leanings of your FLESH and the SINFUL WILL of your MIND and the DECEPTIONS of DEMONS and the DOCTRINES OF DEVILS to keep you bound to the lies and evil which have chained you. It is NEVER too late—JESUS IS LOVE. But, we must recognize that HIS LOVE is not to "support" our sin... But, HIS LOVE is to "undo" our sin and make us HOLY that we may live HOLY and be GOD'S HOLY EXAMPLE in this sinful, dying and deceptive world.
That we may be HIS LIGHT!
That we may come out of DARKNESS!
That we may Enter HIS JOY, HIS LOVE, HIS WAY, HIS TRUTH and HIS LIFE.I speak to you young man the GOOD NEWS OF JESUS CHRIST THIS DAY!
THIS IS THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST!
That sinners may be TURNED from their wicked ways. That the chains and the works of the Devil in the sinner's life be undone and defeated!
REPENT DANIEL.
REPENT DANIEL.GOD IS FAITHFUL!
REPENT.
Today THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IS CALLING YOU! GOD LOVES YOU—LET HIM CHANGE YOUR HEART. LET HIM CHANGE YOUR MIND. LET HIM CHANGE YOUR WORKS. LET HIM CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
Amen.
I am Laughing now.

Why do the religiofanatics always have this bizarro love affair with random capitalization and use of quotation marks? It baffles me.
3
Dan, I'd read your column even if you were a Satanist. Its this kind of thing that makes me proud to be an atheist and glad to be open-minded and accepting of others. Glad to hear you don't get that many of these.
4
Yeah - when I look at the world it's clear that one of the biggest problems is people having respectful, deviant sex.
Clearly.
Clearly.
5
On the upside, he (did I assume the gender - just sounds like a guy) did call you "young man". Either he's really old or he's saying you look a good 10 - 15 years younger than you are. That's good right? I say this as someone younger than you that looks older (grey hair - great on George Clooney, not so much on me...)

I think it's the new version of speaking in tongues, which is no longer practical nor terribly effective.

Wow. Nothing makes me more open to a point of view than yelling (or is it "e-yelling" when it's in email form?).

Susan really shouldn't have time to write letters like this now that she's running for County Commissar.
16
You truly will spend ETERNITY with your CURRENT LOVER FUCKING YOUR DICKS OFF. It IS because Jesus Christ does love you that HE wants to JOIN IN ... He made some LUBE OUT OF ANGEL TEARS so that you do not have to use your OWN.
18
This stuff always comes out in a Southern accent for me.... but that's just from the mesmerizing televangelists I saw as a kid. Fascinating how these guys hit autopilot and just GO. He probably mumbles this stuff in his sleep.
20
I am NOT an atheist.
That doesn't mean I agree with this guy.
Please don't confuse religious belief with ridiculousness.

So it WAS Satan I saw you with the other night; that little peck on the check he gave you was so cute. You wicked wicked thyang You!
23
I think my response to this person would have been simply:
STOP DOING JEUSUS'S WORK! STOP BEING A TOOL OF JESUS! GO AND SIN NO MORE!
I saw your letter and the "advice" that you gave is so JESUSY it is EVIL unadulterated. I know you may think it is a joke, but if you don't REPENT to the LORD SATAN and ask him to take away the "stony heart" and "wash your mind" and "sanctify your soul" and "regenerate your spirit" you truly will spend ETERNITY with your CURRENT MASTER JESUS.
(And so on.)

You beat me to it. I was going to say the same thing.
Not all theists are lunatics.
I promise. There are some nice ones out there.

This reminds me of this line in Douglas Adams' Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency:
"The door was the way to... to... The Door was The Way. Good. Capital letters were always the best way of dealing with things you didn't have a good answer to."

I can't believe I'm saying this, but this is one of the nicer crazies. Make no mistake, he's insane and worships make believe bullshit. But the tone of this letter, at least, seems to be worried for you and the "evil" you are spreading. A lot of these guys go on and on about hell so much you know they get off a little on thinking of your damnation, but this guy, he seems genuinely concerned for you. Better than nothing.
One other thing to love is his dumbass use of quotes for emphasis, which just end up putting scare quotes around everything he believes so fervently in. Looks like he's saying: Sure, Jesus will take away the "stony heart" and "wash your mind" and "sanctify your soul" and "regenerate your spirit." Suuuuurrrre....

In all sincerity, I have never understood why the overly Christian are so concerned about *my* soul specifically, or other people's souls generally. You'd think it were enough they had their own souls covered and could then just leave everyone else alone. I don't understand the thinking behind this at all.
35
I just think its very interesting he/she reads slog or Dan's column. Why, if its so mind polluting and evil do they subject themselves to it. Trying to save souls? Testing their faith? or is slumming around reading Dan kinda titillating to the perverts.
36
Is the CAPITALIZATION of certain WORDS and PHRASES taught to these NUTJOBS in some sort of LOONEY ACADEMY? Or is there only one UR-NUTJOB who writes ALL THIS CRAP?

@ 20,
There are no moderate religious voices in America anymore. You're either atheist/agnostic or non-practicing/uninterested....or you're a loud-mouth nut-bag spewing vitriol and lies. There's no religious middle ground.

I'd like to "regenerate" the letter writer's spirit... from the inside!
Oh whoops! Gotta go sanctify! I need to quick get on my knees and start pleasing Jesus. I need to feel his glory all over my face!

LOL... I wish you would post more of these.
To be fair, contrary to what some have said here, there are still a lot of moderate & progessive Christians in America.

@34, one way of perceiving the "overly Christian" person's concern for others' souls is this: They view sin like poison, and their belief in Jesus as the antidote. In that kind of mindset, they believe that since everyone is "sick" with the poison, and since they have the antidote to that poison, it is wrong NOT to share it with everyone, so they feel driven to get out there and let people know that there is a cure available to them.
A couple of the problems with that include (1) offering the "antidote" to people who haven't been convinced there is a "poison" in their life, and (2) being really pushy or rude or judgmental in the offering. Who really cares what you think of my life if you're hollering at me? I'll just assume you're crazy.

@36 and others: it's in code. You're only supposed to read the all cap bits, strung together. For example, witness this bit of wisdom
SATANIC EVIL! REPENT, LORD JESUS CHRIST! ETERNITY, CURRENT MASTER SATAN--NOT, NOT! WAY OUT OF NO WAY HELL SERVITUDE, "ADVERSARY THE DEVIL." YOU ARE BLIND, AND JESUS CHRIST WANTS YOU TO ***SEE*** WICKEDNESS.

Oops. I guess it's sexist that I assumed it was a woman. Perhaps I make sex assumptions based on the the variety of rant: "GOD LOVES YOU! REPENT" (female) versus "DIE AND BURN IN HELL!" (male)?
52
You get so few letters like that Dan, because the majority of the rw christian fundies hate you and want you to go to hell. That's why they're not trying to save you.
54
And these people have no idea how insane they sound to the rest of us.
I'm sure glad people like this get to vote on my rights.

Which column did she read, do we know? Dan's average satanic score is probably pretty high, but I wonder what topics really get the goats of the people who write emails like this.
@51 regarding the gender of the letter writer - I immediately read it as a woman also. And the Gender Genie agrees: http://bookblog.net/gender/analysis.php

Nicholas@57 won the thread, although I'm afraid that only a handful of Old Internet Farts will be aware of the fact.

I think it would be hysterically funny to repent and then repent your repentence. Sort of like the weird turn Joaquim Phoenix is taking only a fake-out in truth rather than just... weirdness.
65
GOD loves you! However, I think you are a smart-ass pervert. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
66
I don't respond well to all caps. It makes me scream the words in my head as I read them, and take them less seriously. Religious fundamentalists should be really careful with their grammar and punctuation. It will help drive the point of the invisible forces of evil home.
... or not.
... or not.
67
Every once in a while someone in the Powell shopping area will hand me a pamphlet with about the same gist and punctuation quality. On the rare case that there's egregious scare quotes, I'll call them on it, but usually I'll hand it back and (if I'm at the top of my game), say no thanks, I'm trying to quit.
Myself, I've taken to italics in lieu of both scare quotes and emphasis via capitalization. Easier on the eyes, that way.
Lube made of angel tears (assuming it's like human tears) wouldn't work very well. It'd have to be more viscous which, assuming angels are ichor based, rather than blood based, might be the case.

I have no problem with Jesus it's his fan club I can't stand. I wish these people would just get over themselves.

I tried the Gender Genie, out of curiosity, on five blog posts from people I follow online to test its accuracy. It got four of them wrong, as well as a sixth blog post that was one of mine.

Where in the New Testament do the authors (pseudonymous authors & forgers) mention Jesus regenerating the spirit??? There's alot of talk about the spirit in there but nothing about it regenerating.
Sounds gnostic to me....but then again his beloved religion carefully omitted gnostic writings from the text which this guy now rests his beliefs in.

@63,
As soon as I saw McElwain's characteristic sign-off I chuckled too...
I heard he died not long ago.

72
"Why" should people like "us" pay "attention" to such "drivel"? I'm "too" busy regenerating my "health" after a bout with the "flu" to assume "anything" positive or "negative" about Dan's "soul."
74
Makes me think of the bumper sticker outside of the dining area in Mamma's: Jesus is coming---Look busy!
77
At least this person didn't pull the tactic that seems all the rage right now--acting as though the target has never heard of this "Christianity" thing before. It is especially rage-inducing when paired with the condescending assumption that you know you need to be spiritually saved, but don't know how--also pretty common.
In any case, Dan is a-ok by my belief systems, and my belief systems have caused infinitely less death, torture, and rape than has Christianity as a whole, so I think that means I win in terms of holding the moral high ground in the matter.

@30: I thought the same thing!
@46: That interpretation is GENIUS. (Note the CAPS.) I especially like, "JESUS CHRIST WANTS YOU TO ***SEE*** WICKEDNESS." My voyeuristic tendencies rejoice at Jesus's validation of them. I'm off to see some wickedness now.

It's not the allcaps, people.
It's the unnecessary quotation marks! This person meant none of it, so I guess it was all "sarcastic."

81
Dan, a tool of Satan? Wait, I thought he was Satan!
If he were Satan then the wingnuts wouldn't have a chance of getting him to repent. Hey, you've given me an idea. The next time someone calls me a tool of Satan I'll just say, "Impossible. I am Satan. How could I be my own tool?" Seriously, though, I think we all know who the tool is.
82
When I read that, I hear it in Piper Laurie's voice. I expected the phrase "dirty pillows" somewhere in there.
85
@33- Scarlet sins make me look too pink. I prefer black, black sins. Or on Saturday mornings, tie-dye sins.
86
It's funny how we are all hearing different voices in this letter. I heard the streetcorner preacher (male) I used to walk past every day in downtown Pittsburgh. I happened to be waiting for a bus one day on his corner (not a bus I usually took), and I ended up in egaged in coversation with him. He tried to convince me that I needed to immediately repent and turn my life to God. I told him that I was already a Christian, but apparently I wasn't the right kind of Christian. I was Catholic at the time, and we all know the papists are evil (which may actually be at least partially true). Plus, I wasn't shouting at random people telling them they were damned to hell.
After that day he recognized me, and shouted directly at me every time I passed. That was interesting to say the least.
Wonder what he would make of the fact that I now belong to a denomination that just voted to allow congregations to call partnered gay clergy...

Sheryl,
That we both suffer from spiritual swine flu, and we are two incurable cases. People like that put the word "fun" in fundamental. We just have to out live them.

So, if you're not following the zelots' advice, you're a Satanist? Does that mean if I don't play the clarinet I'm a pianist?
As a Gnostic Christian (not "agnostic"), I find their sentiment almost touching, even if extremely misguided. They believe that Dan is immortal danger of losing his soul. Therefore, they are trying to help him out - in a remarkably obnoxious, infantile, and I would like to add, rude manner.
On the flip-side, it is absolutely possible that these people feel powerless in their own lives and feel the need to impose their beliefs on others in order to make themselves feel empowered. My guess is that this is the more accurate hypothesis.
Let me give you my opinion, Dan. A primary tenet for any genuine religion (Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, etc.), is the love and affection for our fellow man. Anyone who expresses love for people, helps people find love, helps people escape from unloving situations, or simply helps enhance the love between two people, is doing what could only be described as holy work. You, Dan, are doing this type of work every day, even when it may feel otherwise.
I realize the zealots will never get you down, but it is important to note that they are expressing opinions in direct opposition to their premise.

I like how the well-meaning lunatics insist on using "Daniel" instead of Dan, as though they want to imply that they are, or perhaps were asked to give you a talkin'-to by, your parents. I'm sort of surprised they didn't go for the middle name too.
REPENT, DANIEL KEENAN, for the LIGHT OF THE LORD is the WAY OF SALVATION, and the WICKED DIRTY POOPSEX that SATAN compels you to spread throughout this NATION OF GOD is not the SHAMEFUL, AWKWARD, AND BRIEF COUPLING which JESUS CHRIST SON OF GOD desires for all the CHILDREN OF THE LORD. What you do and the WICKED LIFESTYLE that you choose will be the WHARRGARBL of our BLEEAAAAARGH SPEW in the ETERNAL FOUNTAIN OF NONSENSE.

Hmm.... being Native America, I wonder how long it would take for Jesus to wash ME white as snow.
You have to consider this like you would consider everything else.
For example: "Some Americans are crazy and love the Nazis." It doesn't mean ALL Americans loves Nazis.
Just like some Christians aren't raving lunatics as well.
I hope...

@5: see, I assumed shrill middle-aged stay at home woman. He/she should probably get laid regardless. Those caps make it sound like they're about to rupture something from the stress.
94
It's hard for the rest of us to accept the level to which some of these people are actually genuinely concerned about us. For them, it's the equivalent of seeing someone about to step in front of an oncoming truck. The sad, sad thing is that they can't see the difference and are so convinced that they are 100% right (because Jesus told them). My grandfather was this way. At least this guy wasn't telling you that God and/or Jesus hates you, like Fred Phelps, etc.
95
I love you, Dan. You and your sinning, awful ways that help 30 year old men who still haven't gotten laid and help people living in sexless marriages. How terrible.... Helping people. You should be ashamed.
96
@89 - your last clause made me spit coffee all over my monitor. And I like your premise of the "parental voice."
"the WHARRGARBL of our BLEEAAAAARGH SPEW in the ETERNAL FOUNTAIN OF NONSENSE" is my new favorite phrase. But it doesn't have enough scare quotes.

I tend to hear it as a sort of Southern televangelist emphasis, with big big-drawn out vowels and chewy extra syllables, like, "And you shall feel the SPEE-RIIIT of the LAAAAAW-HORD JA-YEEE-SUSSS KA-RIIIIST awMIIIIIGHTy a-flowin' I say a-flowin' THA-ROOOUUUUGH you."

Why canīt he cry "on the outside" for you? Maybe if he was actually so sad and heartbroken about you going to hell that tears came down from his eyes Iīd have a little simpathy.
To me, the love these Christians feel for their "neighbors" just feels fake.

Christians have perverted the true nature/role of Lucifer and can not reconcile the inherent inconsistency of an omnipotent deity with the existence of good and evil. If God is all powerful, how can evil exist if without his approval. Lucifer, the tester, being God's most loyal and obedient minion is merely doing what God wants him to do. The illusion of free will is the greatest/meanest practical joke perpetrated by an uncaring God.
102
This letter would be hilarious if there weren't so many nuts out there that think this way and didn't have this stuff pinging around their brain. The reason that they think God thinks this way is because THEY think this way. lol
The only way this letter could be more comical is it was written in a font that looked like it was clipped from the pages of magazines and newspapers.

agree with 30: its ridiculous and stupid, but at least its not hatefull.
one thing i dont get about christians that try to convert other people: wasnt the whole point of jesus kicking the bucket that everybodys sins are now forgiven? doesnt that mean that we can sin without worrying about it?

I think it's irritating when people (this seems to happen more with the "RELIGIOUS!!!") use a full name for people who go by nicknames, or sometimes invent an incorrect full name. Are nicknames tools of Satan, too?
106
You know who else likes to use long strings of inappropriate all caps? Advance fee fraud ("Nigerian") scammers. Funny too, they also like to go on about Jesus and what good Christians they are.
