Do you forward chain emails because you believe them?

Some of my friends are having this hobby of forwarding me those chain emails sent to them by their friends too. What I'm being irritated sometimes is because their emails contain words or images that include or associates with my faith in God, like, if you don't send this email, you will have bad luck for seven days, or sometimes, if you love Jesus, you'll send this with your friends. I just can't tell my friends to stop forwarding me such mails because sometimes maybe they are just afraid that they really will have bad luck or that they will seem to be not too faithful. I mean, these emails are spams, and clog and pollute the bandwidth, they are garbage. Though I admit that some of them are sometimes entertaining. I like to receive emails from my friends, but sometimes, when I see FW:, i just don't read them anymore except when the title is very very interesting. What do you think?

Hello marisriel! I do hate it when I received chain mails especially when it says something will happen to you or something if you will erase it and when you won't pass it. I mean how dare them say that?

Yes, that's how I feel too. It's really a burden to do something even that you do not really like. If I feel like doing it or if it really concerns me to send the message to my friends, I don't need any threat or omen to make it do so.

yes, you're right..if they really need to let the chain mails scattered, they don't have to force it..I mean why would they do it anyway?

Yes, I don't believe in chain mails.
Whoever doesn't believe in them, thinks there rubbish,
which is true.
I guess they'll get over it overtime, but if they're already a matured adult and still believe in it, well we can't really change there thought unless like I said they get over it them self. :)

i forward them if they are interesting. for instance jokes or very interesting information that we have to know. me too, i don't believe in bad lucks or whatsoever if i don't forward the emails that say that i have to forward it. it's just a waste of time.
