Victor received this through Americans In Panama Yahoo Groups before it went off the air.  You once mentioned that you where not sure whether you believed in God or not, but its interesting.

 

Mathematical evidence that atheists believe in God is to ask an atheist to quantify his disbelief, 80 percent, 90, or 99, etc.  Whatever percent he answers subtract it from one and that is the PERCENT HE DOES BELIEVE IN GOD.  Check out Roses story it has an interesting moral.

 

Would like to share with you that the Mormons believe that Jesus taught the plan of salvation IN  AMERICA.  It is supposed to be written in some ancient brass plates disclosed by their prophet Joseph Smith. They believe his kingdom will be on this continent.  The original Mormons are supposed to be of the descendents of JOSEPH who inmigrated to america and are part of the ancestry of the american indians.The lords prayer does say THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN, possibly his kingdom will be on Earth?  Wishing you the best, Frank 

 

If you like Rose´s anecdote pass it on to friends.

As he was walking alongside the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. He turned to look. He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charging towards him. He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was closing in on him. He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer. He tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear was right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to strike him.   At that instant the Atheist cried out, 'Oh my God!' Time Stopped. The bear froze. The forest was silent. As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky. 'You deny my existence for all these years, teach others I don't exist, and even credit creation to cosmic accident. Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?' The atheist looked directly into the light and said, 'It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christian?' 'Very Well,' said the voice. The light went out. The sounds of the forest resumed. And the bear dropped his right paw, brought both paws together, bowed his head & spoke:
