Or, I'm pretty sure God will punish you for using Christianity like a club...The following is an email exchange between my husband and a local business owner. My husband likes to sell things on craigslist, and we frequently get to meet interesting characters. This time, the guy let his crazy out in only a few emails.

You wouldn't know the 1st thing about being cordial. You probably lack many more social skills.
I am sorry if your business has been in the dumps. I feel for you. Not really, but I thought I would play the Christian card like you. (((Smile)))
PEACE OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Where is that Christian smile now?
You are nothing more than a used car salesmen...
The cards are for sale for a whopping $125 bucks. Not 100K. If that leads you to believe I am in some type of financial dire straits, as a "Christian" you should be ashamed of yourself for trying to take the food from my children's mouths.
Please do email me again...-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are no better negotiating tactics than calling someone desperate, uneducated, and pathetic. I think phil should teach a class.
Oh, and it was a pre-season football game - no one wants to go to those!
