Sometimes they get caught up in wanting to prove they are right that they slam others or get piously religious. I truly am sorry. But the fact that you do not believe in Jesus doesn't matter (yet), but its the fact you realize that Jesus believes in you. He loves you, whether you like it or not. Give Him a chance (maybe another chance) and let Him show you how real He is. Thanks!

A few weeks ago I was on a party and a guy was very sad because he was very worried about the world his little girl was going to inherit (she is 2 years old), poor guy he really bought those lies.

Sanctions were in place for 12 years with Iraq! 12 years of thumbing his nose to the world, not just us! Saddam used WMD's on his own people, that's a fact. He also had them taken out of the country before the UN inspectors came in. Duh! Saddam also supported Palestine by giving the families of suicide bombers 10's of thousands of dollars for doing so. We attacked Iraq, bring insurgents there instead of here in our own country. Terrorism is a GLOBAL Threat that happens all over the world.. do you remember the terrorists who attacked in school in Russia last year? Nope, because you don't read the news you just parrot what other say! (not real smart) Remember the massacre of our Marines in Beirut?, the USS Cole boming, the first attack of the world trade center.. this terrorism has been going on for 30 years and you think it's a hoax.. but the liberal colleges don't teach you the facts. It's sad really sad to see so many post such stupid and ignorant comments. You see, when America goes down,, so does the rest of the world. That is why we do what we do! Get with history people!

You will go to hell. That is just your choosing of life. I truly dont care if you want to go to hell. Like a few said God is LOVE. Not ALL churches is out for the money. The money doesnt go into the pastor/preachers pocket etc. It goes into the church itself and to help the families in need. Also read the bible to judge for your self. You do not have to go to church to be a christan, you just have to belive in him to live in Heaven for eterinty. So instead of putting bs on here about religion and about 9/11 etc. Try to stick with the article. To you that think God is fake. You will go to hell. That is just your choosing of life.

But I believe you forgot one or two. First I'd have to mention H.G. Wells' radio presentation of War of the Worlds. Not only were thousands of people in fear but some actually committed suicide or had heart attacks because of their fears. Secondly and probably the most recent. How about Milli Vanilli???? If that wasn't a freaking hoax I don't know what was. They freaking won a Grammy! Pretty good list. But I believe you forgot one or two.

We are not the center of the universe, we are not all that important in the grand scheme of thing and the sooner we vanish into the dust of time and space, the better off we will be! Greatest Hoaxes Not Covered in this Article—

God(s)—All of them, regardless of any religious prejudice. Quit talking to your imaginary friend in the sky and work at making the world you have a better place—this is the only life you get!

The Department of Defense—Come on people. Do you really think the DOD keeps you free and safe by spending billions of your hard earned money you pay in the form of taxes? Be realistic—this is a con—this is a hoax of epic proportions.

Politicians—If you believe any politician has your best interest in mind, I have a bridge to sell you.

Belief in the fact that “We’re #1!”—Actually we are #1 in the production of large steaming piles of #2. These steaming piles of #2 are responsible for Global Warming and the general brown hazy color our atmosphere is developing.

Finally . . . . . . The Biggest HOAX of all Time is . . . . . .

THE HUMAN RACE! Let’s face it; humanity is just one big farcical hoax the Carl Sagian Cosmos is playing on existence. We are not the center of the universe, we are not all that important in the grand scheme of thing and the sooner we vanish into the dust of time and space, the better off we will be!

God is in control not humans of any religion or descent. I don't care who you are we will all answer to the Lord or the Devil it is up to us.When the world finally collapses from all of the junk that we as a world have put on it and in it maybe we(People)will just forget about evolution and come to the realization that God is in charge of all of us. Doesn't matter where we are from or who we are, God will end this in his time so keep on guessing what will happen next because no matter how smart you are or good you are God rules and we all need to get on his band wagon and not worry be happy with our families and love them like there is no tomorrow.

How else could our world be created? I pretty sure that there wasn't some sort of big explosion, and suddenly an endless universe came to be. B) No, there isn't a God/Gods/Higher Power. Look at all the other religions we've beaten down (ex. Greek/Roman Mythology). We say it was because of their own misunderstanding that they created their Gods, but we sorta created our God/Gods/Higher Power to fill in the blank spots too, didn't we?
