Cazuza: Died of aids

Titanic: Myth – “The Titanic was described in the popular press as “practically unsinkable”. This was not unusual – for decades, ships had watertight compartments to limit flooding in case of an accident, and the press used this phrase as a matter of routine for many years. After the Titanic sank, the story of her loss was turned into a modern fable and the original description “practically unsinkable” became just “unsinkable” in order to sharpen the moral of the story. No educated person in 1912 believed that the Titanic was truly unsinkable, but it was difficult to imagine an accident severe enough to send her to the bottom.”

Marilyn Monroe: Myth – No proof that she ever said that – “One night in 1962 in a hotel in Seattle, Billy Graham was sound asleep. Suddenly he awoke with what he later described as “a burden to pray for Marilyn Monroe,” the movie actress. When the feeling continued the next day, one of Graham’s associates tried to reach the actress through one of her agents. The agent offered no hope for a meeting immediately. “Not now. Maybe two weeks from now,” he said. Two weeks later Marilyn Monroe’s suicide shocked the world.” They had never met.

Does one need to go on?

I assume I’m alive because I’m not famous. I’ve been an atheist for 50 years and yet I’m still kicking. I’ve spoken out against all god’s over and over and yet I live. Go figure.

I’ll live forever.

So, “Tim” along with alot of us will be surprise at who is standing next to us in heaven.
Because Twenty-six times in Psa 136 it says, “For His mercy endureth forever.”

Thy ‘Mercy’ is new e-v-e-r-y morning- Lam 3:23.

Claim: Tancredo Neves (President of Brazil): During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency. Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made
President, then he died.

The Truth:

The quote by President Trancredo Neves is a myth. There is no evidence he ever said it. There were not 500,000 votes in that election. Only a maximum of 686 votes were cast, of which Neves got 480. In any event, Tancredo Neves died at the age of 75. That’s five years more than the Biblical promise of three score years and ten.

PS Robert Mugabe, the despotic President of Zimbabwe, said, “Only God can remove me from power.” Mugabe has been president of Zimbabwe since 1980 and he is still in power.

The wife of Mugabe’s main rival, Morgan Tsvangirai, died in a car accident on 10th March 2009. Susan Tsvangirai was a devout Christian and church goer. There are no reports of her ever mocking God. Mugabe described her death as, “the hand of God”.

Claim: John Lennon said, “Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not have to argue about it. I am certain. Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, today we are more famous than Him.” Lennon, after saying the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times.

The Truth:

In August 1966, just five months later, John Lennon apologised for his statement and said, “I’m sorry I opened my mouth. I’m not anti-God, anti-Christ, or anti-religion. I wasn’t knocking it or putting it down.. I’m not saying that we’re better or greater, or comparing us with Jesus Christ as a person or God as a thing or whatever it is. I just said what I said and it was wrong.”

Lennon’s apology was accepted by the Vatican who officially forgave his remarks.

John Lennon was shot dead in 1980. If God killed John Lennon 14 years after his ‘Jesus’ quote, for which Lennon apologised, then “God” must be very vindictive.

John Lennon also said, “I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It’s just that the translations have gone wrong.”
