So, occasionally, I get annoying religious emails from grandma, and I feel like semiranting to you. But I am not a ranter...

UNTIMELY DEATH!!!!!!!
.... BE
SURE YOU SCROLL WAY DOWN TO SEE WHAT THIS MESSAGE HOLDS
FOR YOU!!!! YOU JUST MIGHT BE SURPRISED!!! I WAS!!!
DID YOU KNOW
THESE FACTS?
I SURE DIDNT TILL NOW
Death
is certain but the Bible speaks about untimely death!
Make a
personal reflection about this.......
Very
interesting, read until the end.....
It is
written in the Bible (Galatians 6:7):
'Be not
deceived; God is not mocked:
whatsoever a man sow,
that shall
he also reap..
Here are some
men and women
who mocked
God :
John Lennon
(Singer):
Some
years before, during his interview with an American Magazine,
he said:
'Christianity
will end, it will disappear.
I do
not have to argue about
that..
I am certain.
Jesus
was ok, but his subjects were too simple, today we are more
famous than Him' (1966).
Lennon, after
saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ,
was shot six times.
Tancredo
Neves (President of Brazil
):
During
the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes
from his party, not even God would remove him from
Presidency.
Sure he got
the votes, but he got sick a day before being made President,
then he died.
Cazuza
(Bi-sexual Brazilian
composer, singer and poet):
During
A show in Canecio ( Rio de Janeiro ),
while
smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air
and said:'God, that's for you.'
He died at
the age of 32 of LUNG CANCER in a horrible manner.
The man who
built the Titanic
After
the construction of Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the
Titanic would be.
With
an ironic tone he said:
'Not
even God can sink it'
The
result: I think you all know what
happened to the Titanic
Marilyn Monroe
(Actress)
She
was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a
show.
He
said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her.
After
hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said:
'I
don't need your Jesus'.
A week later,
she was found dead in her apartment
Bon Scott
(Singer)
The
ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On one of his 1979 songs he
sang:
'Don't
stop me; I'm going down all the way, down the highway to
hell'.
On the 19th
of February 1980, Bon Scott was found dead, he had been choked
by his own vomit.
Campinas (IN 2005)
In
Campinas , Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a
friend.....
The
mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the
drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter
holding her hand, who was already seated in the car:
'My
Daughter, Go With God And May He Protect You.'
She
responded: 'Only If He (God) Travels In The Trunk, Cause
Inside Here.....It's Already Full '
Hours later,
news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident,
everyone had died,
the car could
not be recognized what type of car it had been, but
surprisingly, the trunk was intact.
The police
said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact. To
their surprise, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, none was
broken
Christine
Hewitt (Jamaican Journalist and
entertainer)
said the
Bible (Word of God) was the worst book ever written.
In June 2006
she was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor
vehicle.
Many more
important people have forgotten that there is no other name
that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus.
Many have
died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still
alive.
'Jesus'
PS:
If it was a
joke, you would have sent it to everyone.
So are you going to
have courage to send this?.
I have done my
part, Jesus said
'If you are
embarrassed about me,
I will also
be embarrassed about you before my father.'
You
are my 8 in 8 seconds. I am not breaking this. No way!
I'M
TOLD THIS WORKS!!!!! Bishop T.D. Jakes '8 Second Prayer.' Just
repeat this prayer and see how God moves!!
'Lord,
I love you and I need you, come into my heart, and bless me,
my family, my home, and my friends, in Jesus' name.
Amen.'
Pass
this message to 8 people {EXCEPT YOU AND ME}...You will
receive a miracle tomorrow. I Hope that you don't ignore and
let God
bless you.

What kind of argument goes against that?
hmm, take the amount of 'untimely' deaths after we ridicule a god of somesort, then divide it by the total number of atheists...
then take the amount of 'untimely deaths' for everyone else and get the percentage for them also and comare both results... wouldn't they be nearly the same?

I hate cherry picking.

My grandma saw my status on Yahoo! the other day, and it read "Religious follwers are persitant, annoying, and illogical... ;\' then she gets all mad and starts telling my gf that she (gma) herself wouldn't be able to stay in a relationship with someone of a different fairytale book (religion), and says that I am too smart to let 'God' go... I should not be ashamed of her god and all that usual junk.

Whatchall think...? My status was then "What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof" and it is currently "I don't need fairytales."

Also, my mom recently found out about my awesome mental achievement of becoming an atheist, just not in a positive way... ;\\ Love and live life.
