I have a friend who is not a Christian, but she knows that I am. She always sends me the FWD. FWD. FWD. FWDx 135,546,892 texts about “if you believe in God, read this!” I once confronted her and she simply said, ” well you of all people would appreciate this because it has to do with God!”

I used to get these all the time way back when. Mostly they were about the show “Touched By An Angel” being taken off the air by rabid athiests. That rumor is false. What drives a show is nielsens, not faith. Want a show to succeed? Then please do watch the show.

On another note, my dad keeps getting ones about obama being either a muslim, christian, athiest, hindu, etc. Don’t believe them.

Unfortunately, this mindset is all too common. "If I don't know whether it's true, then I'm not lying when I say it's true, because it might be true."

Intellectual integrity scares some people. It would make them question their deeply held beliefs and values. Anti-intellectualism, for example.

I don't know how it was reported in the email you received, but that one about Jesus and his disciples being homosexuals is probably about an actual play called "Corpus Christi".

so true Tim!! and we wander why we are always called hypocrites! No wander the world wants nothing to do with Jesus look at the example we give them! If you dont agree with someone so be it, I have learned it is best for me to Read Gods word and do what it says!!

Lady Gaga can't sing!? Take that back! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NM51qOpwcIM Granted, she's not belting it like this in most of her recent works, but she's a hell of a lot more talented than most of the pop stars out there.

If that frustrates you, try arguing about science with die-hard creationists. It's so bad that I've come to EXPECT that a creationist will engage in massive distortions of science, and to be honest, I can't recall the last time I was wrong. For example, virtually 100% of creationists believe that Big Bang Theory involves "something from nothing".

When you point out that it does NOT actually say this, they simply ignore you and repeat that Big Bang Theory requires "something from nothing". They know it's true because it's "common knowledge". Why should they bother learning physics or going straight to the horse's mouth and asking an astrophysicist?

Sure, there's that whole commandment about not bearing false witness, but that's not one of the important ones, right? What could be wrong with casually misrepresenting what scientists really say? It's no big deal, right? "Everybody knows", so it can't be wrong!

I wonder if Christians realize that those horrible chain letters reflect very poorly on their faith, and make them look completely ridiculous to the very people they're supposedly trying to convert. Why does anyone forward such a thing?
