When you look at the Cross, what do you see? You see God’s awesome faithfulness. Nothing – not even the instinct to spare His own Son – will turn Him back from keeping His word.

This is from Jerry Belton.  but I wanted to add my two cents worth.  The email rumor mill that can be checked out on hoax sites and are not shows how gullible we can be.  I have been guilty of this in the past but after bit a few times or rather having my hands burnt, have tried to keep my hands off the hot stuff. (Maybe this is my nickel's worth?)
How Gullible Are We?

A freshman at Eagle Rock Junior High won first prize at the greater Idaho Falls Science Fair, April 26, 1997. He was attempting to show how conditioned we have become to alarmist practicing junk science and spreading fear of everything in our environment. In his project he urged people to sign a petition demanding strict control or total elimination of the chemical “dihydrogen monoxide.”

And for plenty of good reasons, since it:

  • Can cause excessive sweating and vomiting.

  • It is a major component in acid rain.

  • It can cause severe burns in its gaseous state.

  • Accidental inhalation can kill you.

  • It decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes.

  • It has been found in tumors of terminal cancer patients.

He asked 50 people if they supported a ban of the chemical. Forty-three said yes, six were undecided, and only one knew that the chemical was H20 (water). The title of his prize winning project was, “How Gullible Are We?” He feels the conclusion is obvious
