Ignorance!!!!

I've attached an email that was sent to me by an ignorant member of my own family. If I disclosed the position that this person holds in our community you might be surprised. It just goes to show the ignorance and intolerance that some people in this country still maintain. I'm ashamed to say that this person who sent me the email also sent it to every member of our family and to the majority of the employees at their company. That is about 250 people.

If you were an employee there how would you feel this email being sent to you at work? I hope somebody reading will give me some feedback. Oh, can anyone can guess what religion this person is that sent me this email?
