Hey guys, look, I've picked up a random crazy-troll-person who's pretending to be a Christian! Check it out!

And have a look at the comments on this post on its own journal about how it "tried to help a large girl feel happier about herself". It's pretty funny. The persona rings less and less true as you read down.

Now I know I've really arrived as a blogger. If only I wasn't a depressed alcoholic incapable of happiness, I might be pleased, but now if you'll excuse me I have to go fall asleep in a pool of my own tragic vomit.

Neat. It was probably searching for posts to do with resolutions and found yours. Christians and also $cientologists sometimes do stuff like that to try and find an audience open to suggestion.

A good way to catch these guys, if you ever need some, is to start an IRC channel called #lonely or #searching and give it an info like "I don't know what to do with my life". In minutes hordes of these guys will come pouring in looking for fresh souls.

Hey, no one spammed *my* resolutions post! Mind you, as one of the 12 countries on my list to go to this year is the Vatican City, unlike some of us I'm clearly looking out for the wellbeing of my immortal soul ;)

"if you ever need some"... this makes me wonder what for. "Hey guys, I have this experiment I need you to help me with, based on one by some old dude called Milgram you probably haven't heard of."

Thing is, I don't think our spammer actually *is* a Christian at all. In the comments of the other post he goes from his normal persona "with love"-speak, to a sort of faux-preacher mode of speaking, and finally into teenage-gamer-speak with expressions like "soooo brokeback mountain" (!?). There's just something a bit off about the whole thing.

Yes, I do believe you are right. A look at the main stream of it's journal shows nothing but a string of deliberately inflamatory statements on various political and religious issues. Just a troll.
