i wouldnt be ashamed at all of saying i dont believe. partly cos i dont believe anyway, and partly cos i dont wanna die yet.
bet that if that happened for real to a christian (assuming the person who wrote the email is one) and got shot the person writing the email would call him/her a martyr but if that happened for real to, say, a muslim, the person writing the email would call him/her a fool.
ive had an email about the 5-yr-old girl before and if u look at all those sorta emails there is a pattern... theyre all american, they all involve christianity, they are all sentimental/soppy, and they always involve little white girls: its never adults or teenagers or boys or blacks, because they get less sympathy.
for instance theres always fake emails going round saying things like, "for everyone who gets sent this email, AOL will donate 2p to save a baby girl in america who is dying" or something like that, and then theres usually something like "this baby was a gift from god to her parents" and if theres a pic with the email it will ALWAYS be a white kid. cos all that appeals to sentimental gullible middle-america housewives who then pass the emails on to hundreds of people.
funny they never say WHICH newspaper it was, or exactly when/where it happened, or who the ppl were, and its not directly quoted from the paper... reckon it was made up
