So why do people insist on sending me shit telling me there is???
The following was sent to me, my reply to them is below the double line:

Cherokee Legend
Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage?
His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him an leaves him alone. He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help to anyone.
Once he survives the night, he is a MAN.
He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own.
The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him . Maybe even some human might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man!
Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold.
It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him.
He had been at watch the entire night, protecting his son from harm.
We too are never alone.
Even when we don't know it, God is watching over us, Sitting on the stump beside us.
When trouble comes, all we have to do is reach out to Him.
If you liked this story, pass it on.
If not, you took off your blindfold before dawn.
Moral of the story:
Just because you can't see God,
Doesn't mean He is not there.
"For we walk by faith, not by sight."
==============================================
Old Cherokee Legend
The sun, the moon, the stars and the earth, along with the rivers the trees and the rain, shall protect us from the darkness.
No where in any Indian Legend did it mention a GOD they could not see!!!
They believed in what they could see!!
NOT blind faith!!!
If you liked this story, return it to who ever sent you the bullshit story about the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage
If not,you had your blindfold on to tight and cut off the circulation to your brain.
Moral of the story:
"Just because you believe in a God doesn't mean he is there"
"For if one walks with one's eye's wide open, Not closed in blind faith"
"One won't trip and fall and find out there really is no God to reach out to"
In closing
("Even when we don't know it, God is watching over us.
When trouble comes, all we have to do is reach out to Him")
That worked out really well for the Indians, the Inca, the Africans, the Polish, the Hungarians, the Iranians, the Iraqis, the Philippians the Jews , and all the starving children in the world, shall I go on?????
