    It makes me ill ...

    there, that's better. Now I can think about these filthy lies without ... oops!

    Okay, now that's better. I guess I couldn't be president of the United States, because I believe in the Divine Feminine, hmm? Well, I haven't been struck down by lightning yet.

    I hate chain emails, even if I essentially agree with the content, and I REFUSE to send them on. I haven't been struck down by lightning yet.

    I love all human beings, all beings of the Earth and the Earth Herself. I haven't been struck down my lightning yet.

    I believe Barack Obama will be a much better president than any we have seen in a generation (and that includes Clinton, although he was the best of the bad bunch). See, I still haven't been struck down by lightning.

    You so-called Christian framers of these idiotic, nauseating emails, perhaps you will be struck down. And, although it might be amusing to watch it happen, I would still forgive you and mourn your passing (briefly) with relief and a howl at the moon.
