Weird Emails To Goth.Net

annuinI occasionally get some really weird emails to my goth.net webmistress alterego.
Case in point:
I am the owner of the JesusX.com domain name and I am writing to inform you that the domain name JesusX.com is currently for sale on Ebay. Given the nature of your website / organization I thought that you might be interested in acquiring the domain name for your uses. I am sending this letter to multiple Christian organizations as well as Non-Christian organizations who may have an interest in designing a website using this domain name. Please find the link to the Ebay listing at the end of this email.
There has been so much controversy surrounding Jesus that you can't help but wonder who is right. With books like the DaVinci Code becoming such a hit, it's spawned a craze amongst Christians and Critics alike. Everyone is in on the action and it's a no-holds-barred battle for the truth.
Now you have the chance to voice your beliefs by purchasing one of the hottest Jesus/Religious domains available on the market today. Which side are you on? Will you use the domain to inform fellow Christians about the life of Jesus Christ and persuade non-believers to find redemption? Will you play the part of the Critic and stray from the mainstream beliefs in an effort to reveal the untold story of Jesus? Or will you create a neutral place where all sides can gather to debate the many controversies surrounding the most famous person in history? You make the final decision.
The possible uses for this domain are endless.
Informative Christian site to dispel the myths about Jesus Christ.
Christian youth social network. X appeals to youth.
Blog from the perspective of Jesus.
Forum to discuss the controversy surrounding Jesus.
A gathering place for non-believers.
Great name for a book, promotional site.
Etc...
I don't know what crack this guy is smoking, but I personally fail to see how we from Goth.Net would be interested in JesusX.com. Sure, there are christian goths, but it's not like we're particularly entangled groups. It certainly isn't the most intuitive pairing.
In regards to the potential uses, I understand using the domain for religious purposes, that makes perfect logical sense... but for non-believers? Oh-kay then.
I'm kind of weirded out by the "Blog from the perspective of Jesus" use. I'm not religious, but that strikes me as tacky and/or somewhat blasphemous. At the bare minimum it's extremely arrogant and presumptuous to claim to be blogging from his perspective.
The "X appeals to youth" part just made me laugh. It just seems like a lame effort at trying to be cool and appealing to the hipster kids.
