    may have been posted already dont know (dont read ahead)


    Question 1:


    If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids already, three who
    were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded, and she had
    syphilis,would you recommend that she have an abortion?
    Read the next question before looking at the response for this one.


    Question 2:


    It is time to elect a new world leader, and only your vote counts. Here
    are the facts about the three candidates.



    Candidate A.


    Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologics.
    He's had two mistresses. He also chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a
    day.


    Candidate B.


    He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps until noon, used opium in
    college and drinks a quart of whiskey every evening.


    Candidate C.


    He is a decorated war hero. He's a vegetarian, doesn't smoke, drinks an
    occasional beer and never cheated on his wife.Which of these candidates
    would be your choice? Decide first... no peeking, then scroll down for
    the response.













    Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt.


    Candidate B is Winston Churchill.


    Candidate C is Adolph Hitler.


    And, by the way, on your answer to the abortion question: If you said
    YES, you just killed Beethoven.


    Pretty interesting isn't it? Makes! a person think before judging
    someone.


    Wait till you see the end of this note! Keep reading...


    Never be afraid to try something new.


    Remember: Amateurs...built the ark.


    Professionals...built the Titanic


    And Finally, can you imagine working for a company that has a little
    more than 500 employees and has the following statistics:


    * 29 have been accused of spousal abuse


    * 7 have been arrested for fraud


    * 19 have been accused of writing bad checks


    * 117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses


    * 3 have done time for assault


    * 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit


    * 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges


    * 8 have been arrested for shoplifting


    * 21 are currently defendants in lawsuits


    * 84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year...


    Can you guess which organization this is?


    Give up yet?


    It's the 535 members of the United States Congress. The same group that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of the USA in line.

    Well that's about as funny as believing that Jesus existed... when you think about it.
    And tbh, countless millions aren't laughing.

    Well, in answer to the point about the Ark, there is some evidence present in other religions of a truth behind the whole flood story....just saying.

    Oh, and about Jesus, there is no real historical evidence that Jesus actually did exist.

    There is never 'evidence' present in any religion, apart from evidence of the credulousness of people who follow it.
