Opiate of the masses

How do you tell a dear friend, who (other than her little religion problem) is a nice person, to stop sending you shit like this:

I pray not only for your recovery, but I also pray that you will come to understand a few things about Christ:
1) That it is not about going to a church building, rather, having a personal relationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ The Son. The way to know Him is through the teachings of Jesus and accepting Him into your heart to live (not as a preacher). In truth, I haven’t visited a church in years and have not been a member of one for more than twice as long.
2) God of the Holy Bible is omnipresent and omnipotent.
3) He loves His creation so much, that He created a way for His creation to know Him. The more you grow closer to Him, the more you learn His will and the easier it gets to obey it; you grow stronger in love: loving others and yourself.
4) If God created us and wants the best for us (He is glorified this way), we must learn to trust Him and have faith that no matter what something looks like, nothing is impossible for God.

Sigh. You can't fight a delusional structure wired that tight.
All you can do is smile and tell them that, as much as you appreciate the thought, this shit ain't for you.
Not that it'll stop her attempts to make me see the light, but at least I'll have tried...

Oh, yeah, and the computer you rode in on. (Probably a Gates machine...)
