Dear Atheist....
This one is for you...hope you enjoy it...(no strings attached...truly...)
GOD OR EVIL ?????
This has a thought provoking message no matter how you believe...
The professor of a university challenged his students with this question: \\`Did God create everything that exists?\\` A student answered bravely, \\`Yes, he did!\\`
The professor then asked, \\`If God created everything, then he created evil. Since evil exists (as noticed by our own actions), so God is evil.\\` The student couldn\\`t respond to that statement causing the professor to conclude that he had \\`proved\\` that \\`belief in a benevolent God\\` was a fairy tale, and therefore worthless.
Another student raised his hand and asked the professor, \\`May I pose a question?\\` \\`Of course,\\` answered the professor. The young student stood up and asked : \\`Professor does cold exist?\\` The professor answered, \\`What kind of question is that? Of course cold exists... have you never been cold?\\`
The young student answered, \\`In fact sir, cold does not exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of heat. Absolute Zero is the total absence of heat, but cold does not exist as such. What we have done is create a term to describe how we feel if we don\\`t have body heat or we are not hot.\\`
\\`And, does darkness exist?\\`, he continued. The professor answered, \\`Of course.\\` This time the student responded, \\`Again you\\`re wrong, Sir. Darkness is, in reality, the absence of light. We can study light, but not darkness. How can you know how dark a certain space is? You measure the amount of light present. Isn\\`t this correct? Darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present.\\`
Finally, the student asked the professor, \\`Sir, does evil exist?\\` Now uncertain, the professor responded, \\`Of course, as I have already said. We see it everyday. It is in the daily example of man\\`s inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil.\\`
The student responded, \\`Evil does not exist, Sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold - a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is not like faith, or love, that exist just as does light and heat. EVIL IS THE RESULT OF WHAT HAPPENS WHEN MAN DOES NOT HAVE GOD\\`S LOVE PRESENT IN HIS HEART. IT\\`S LIKE THE COLD THAT COMES WHEN THERE IS NO HEAT, OR THE DARKNESS THAT COMES WHEN THERE IS NO LIGHT.’

As a child, we have to face many a times the uneasy teasing of our fellow mates. It is in the nature of children, immaturity the obvious reason, to annoy an isolated poor fellow. Myself being a victim of those tantrums, once asked God why could not He make everyone around me a friend of mine for ever ! Why couldn't He tell my arrogant fellows in their dreams to make me their permanent companion! Within a week to my total disbelief, the two of most improbable candidates met me in person and told how God came to their dream and asked them to make me as their friend forever.
Though I have lost that pure proximity with God with passing age, but still reminds me of His silent PRESENCE around us.

10. Instant cures? Naah!
This one is horrible, because it preys on your fear.
It will either outline a surefire cure for a deadly disease. Or it will tell you about how heating water in the microwave could lead to cancer. Or how talking on your cell phone when you are charging it will lead to the phone blasting into pieces in your hand. Or some such other stuff that sounds plausible, and possible, but is unfortunately not true. Like enhancing your manhood, or making you a better lover, etc. . .
Do not forward! It is just a blatant attempt to collect as many genuine email addresses as possible, so that they can then be used in other email scams!
Remedy: Destroy that mail. ...

9. Join a chain?
It's tough but you still have to believe it! Chain emails, where you are asked to forward the mail to a certain number of people, either in peril because something horrible will happen to you otherwise or because Bill Gates will give you a substantial chunk of his wealth, is nothing but -- sigh! -- a scam.
Bill Gates, Mukesh Ambani, Jack Welch, Richard Branson, Warren Buffett and all the other super-rich people are NOT interested in sharing their wealth with gullible people who forward chain mail with the celebrity's name in it. Yes, forwarding mails will not get you a Nokia cell phone or an iPhone.
You are NOT going dogged by bad luck if you delete a chain mail instead of forwarding it. Your friends are NOT going to desert you. NEITHER you nor your family is going to fall seriously ill. NOR will unexpected good luck come your way just because you did forwarded the mail.
Remember, you are not doing anyone a favour by forwarding these mails. All you are doing is cluttering some else's email box. And, probably, allowing some malicious virus to track the email addresses -- and infect the computers -- of the people you've sent the mail to.
Remedy: Trash the mail. Pronto! ...

8. Money can't be minted. . . or can it?
It's the classic scam and there are so many versions of it going on, both online and offline.
At first reading, or hearing as the case may be, it all sounds pretty plausible. The email will contain a list of people. You will be asked to send a certain amount of money to the person whose name tops the list. You will also be asked to forward the list to a certain number of people you trust.
The opportunity to make a good deal money, with minimal investment, will be impressively detailed. There will be quotes given, along with email addresses, of happily satisfied people who've already made their bundle. There are repeated guarantees and double reassurances that nothing, absolutely nothing, can go wrong.
If things go according the method listed, you may actually stand to make some money. But this, remember, is a scam. Most of the time, the mail is manipulated in such a way that the name of the scamster, or his friends, is always on top.
Even if the scheme is genuine, it works only if more people get added to the list and if they send money. And all such schemes have a strange tendency of fizzling out; only those who get in early make some money. This is the much prevalent Ponzi scheme. . . and sometimes even multi-level marketing schemes fall into this category.
Remedy: There's no easy way to make money. The easier way out is to aim for the delete button. ...

7. Time to travel?
You're planning a much looked forward to holiday and -- stroke of luck! -- some interesting emails land in your mail in-box, offering you bargain holidays to these really exotic locations. It may even be a reasonably priced, decent sounding time share arrangement.
You click, send in your requirement, get a positive reply and even sign on the dotted line.
# And then discover. . . That, quite simply, the whole thing was a scam and the money you've already paid is lost forever.
# There are certain rather expensive charges you have to pay that you were told nothing about.
# That the time-share is on, but the dates that are available to you are the ones that no one else wants because they are not convenient.
These scams peak just before, or during, the holiday season, so beware!
Remedy: Ignore these guys and book through a real travel agent, a state-run travel agency, or a reputed Web site. ...

6. It's a disaster!
Every time disaster strikes, in the midst of heart-wrenching human tragedy, there will be a few hard-hearted enough to make a quick buck.
When tragedy takes place on a large scale, help is needed from multiple sources on an even larger scale. Many of us pitch in. But be careful if you get an email asking you to help financially with disaster relief. It could be a scamster on the prowl.
Do not give out your financial details until you thoroughly verify the source is genuine.
Remedy: Make sure your aid goes to the right source; ideally, approach an NGO (non-governmental organisation). As for these scamsters, relegate them to where they belong -- in the trash! ...

5. Hey, you're hired!
You've been looking for a job, or a change of job -- something that will leave you with some free time so that you can have a life!
Then, like unexpected manna from heaven, such a job actually falls in your lap. You get mail from an impressive sounding company offering you the grand-sounding post in the finance or marketing department.
The company, the mail explains in professional sounding terms, is doing very well in its home country and is now expanding across the globe/ in Asia, including India. They need people and you seem the right fit. They have Indian customers; all you have to do is collect money from them and send it to the company (pretty much like a post box they assure you, you're not a recovery agent and don't have to run after their customers).
Your commission will be somewhere between 5 per cent and 15 per cent; all you need to do is drop the cheques/ money orders into your account and send the money, minus your percentage, to them.
Of course, you'll need to share some personal information, such as your contact details bank account details. It all sounds simple and aboveboard, doesn't it?
Soon, you'll actually receive cheques and money orders. You'll deposit it in your account and send money to your employers. Then, you'll discover the cheques and money orders are fraudulent. Which leaves you. . . yup, conned, having sent your hard-earned savings to a scamster. If you try to trace them, you find they've vanished into the Internet. . . oops, ether!
Remedy: Remember, nothing comes free. Take a moment to verify the mail's details; you may find what you actually need is the delete button. ...

Hi,
4. Phished!
There's no doubt about the fact that technology can make life much easier. For example, instead of going to the bank, standing in a long queue and dealing with a bored clerk, or even going to an ATM to check your balance, transfer funds or pay bills, you can just as easily do it over the Internet.
It's convenient, and it saves time! But those Internet hackers, the ones who want to make money ripping you off, have such activities firmly in their radar. The result? One of the most widespread scams to have hit mail in-boxes in recent times.
You'll get a rather official looking, and a rather frightening, mail that tells you that you urgently need to verify your identity with the bank/ shopping site because your account has been hacked.
The implied threat is that your personal details could be misused and you could lose money.
If you click on the re-verification link they provide you, that's exactly what's going to happen. As you key in your login name and password, it is captured by a computer programme.
You innocently heave a sigh of relief, thanking the stars for the quick alert from your bank. But your troubles are just beginning. The hackers now know your login and password and can easily skim all your money from your account.
Remedy: Be suspicious! If in doubt, delete. If you think the email is legitimate, call the bank before divulging any details on the Net. ...
