There is no God!! or is there??

This one should keep us all thinking.
I chose #2, now you pick one. Scripture tells us that it is the FOOL who says in his heart that there is no God.
This is a true story of something that happened just a few years ago at USC.
There was a professor of philosophy there who was a deeply committed atheist.
His primary goal for one required class was to spend the entire semester to
prove that God couldn't exist.
His students were always afraid to argue with him because of his impeccable logic.
Sure, some had argued in class at times, but no one had ever really gone against him because of his reputation.
At the end of every semester on the last day, he would say to his class of 300 students, 'If there is anyone here who still believes in Jesus, stand up!'
In twenty years, no one had ever stood up. They knew what he was going to do next. He would say, 'Because anyone who believes in God is a fool'.
If God existed, he could stop this piece of chalk from hitting the ground and breaking Such a simple task to prove that He is God, and yet He can't do it.'
And every year, he would drop the chalk onto the tile floor of the classroom and it would shatter into a hundred pieces.
All of the students would do nothing but stop and stare.
Most of the students thought that God couldn't exist. Certainly, a number of Christians had slipped through, but! For 20 years, they had been too afraid to stand up.
Well, a few years ago there was a freshman who happened to enroll.
He was a Christian, and had heard the stories about his professor.
He was required to take the class for his major, and he was afraid. But for three months that semester, he prayed every morning that he would have the courage to stand up no matter what the professor said, or what the class thought.
Nothing they said could ever shatter his faith...he hoped.
Finally, the day came. ! The professor said, 'If there is anyone here who still believes in God, stand up!' The professor and the class of 300 people looked at him, shocked, as he stood up at the back of the classroom.
The professor shouted, 'You FOOL!!!
If God existed, he would keep this piece of chalk from breaking when it hit the ground!'
He proceeded to drop the chalk, but as he did, it slipped out of his fingers, off his shirt cuff, onto the pleat of his pants, down his leg, and off his shoe. As it hit the ground, it simply rolled away unbroken. The professor's jaw dropped as he stared at the chalk. He looked up at the young man, and then ran out of the lecture hall.
The young man who had stood, proceeded to walk to the front of the room and shared his faith in Jesus for the next half hour. 300 students stayed and listened as he told of God's love for them and of His power through Jesus.
You have 2 choices:
1. Never look at it again.
2. Pass this along to your Christian and non-Christian friends, giving them encouragement we all need every day
When you choose option 2, you have chosen to STAND UP
In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different:
This is not intended to be a joke, it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking.............
Isn't it funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell.
Isn't it funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says.
Isn't it funny how everyone wants to go to heaven provided they do not have to believe, think, say, or do anything the Bible says. Or is it scary?
Isn't it funny how someone can say 'I believe in God' but still follow Satan (who, by the way, also 'believes' in God ).
Isn't it funny how you can send a thousand jokes through e-mail and they spread like wildfire,
But when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think
twice about sharing.
Isn't it funny how the lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene pass freely through cyberspace, but the public discussion of Jesus is suppressed in the school and workplace.
Isn't it funny how someone can be so fired up for Christ on Sunday, but be an invisible Christian the rest of the week.
Are you laughing? !
Isn't it funny how when you go to forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it to them.
Isn't it funny how I can be more worried about what other people think of me than what God thinks of me. -
do you send out emails promoting satanic beliefs???
Religions is quite a sensitive issue and thus not many would forward without thinking twice.

Oh right. Singapore Christians Forum. But it's still appropriate to post it here. -
The story kind of reminded me of my own experience when a particular lecturer name Michael at NTU asked in front of the class :Why do you like to go to church?"
He didn't specifically ask the question to me but somehow I believed that was intended for me.
Then he asked the second question "Why are you so coc*y?"
I believe he was a co*ky man himself I was just trying to give co*ky people a mirror to look at. Hahahaha -
another true story to show that there really is a god. he probably punish the non-believing couple by arranging for the gang rape to take place.Originally posted by curryman:BUKIT MERTAJAM, MALAYSIA - An 18-year-old woman was taken on a terror ride and gang-raped by four men early Wednesday.
