Religious chain messages were first a nuisance, now i think they are downright rude and belittling of religion and the concept of God in whole. We get them every day, and usually they're in three parts: highlight of the "holy" source of the message carried, the message, and a threat/guilt trip insinuation in case you choose not to forward it.
The way i see it, God does not care how many messages you send out, we are not teachers, we do not know our enough about our religion to preach it. We are best fit to try and practice it to its fullest, and in that we are promoting our ideas and beliefs. God does not want us to turn religion or His holy words into a trade. God does not want us to blindly repeat a verse a hundred times, at least not without understanding it.
I highly doubt God works on a points system. It's not give and take in exchange; it can't be. Because if that's the way we'll be judged, i can go commit murder then repeat a verse a thousand times and all will be forgiven?
That is belittling of God, and disrespectful on so many levels.
I refuse to take part in this ultimate sin.
