The Woman Who Would Have Discovered THE Ultimate Cure For Cancer Was Murdered Today
Jane Doe, a woman who was uniquely gifted by God with the perfect combination of intelligence, tenacity and the pure doggedness necessary to do what ever it takes to excel in science in order to conquer cancer was murdered this morning when her mother, a 21 year old college student who didn’t want her life inconvenienced by a baby, aborted her.
Jane’s murder is a major blow to humanity and her death will set the world of medical science back 50 years because Jane will not be present to make her ground breaking discovery that would have lead to a simple Cancer vaccine that would have eradicated cancer once and for all. Jane’s murder means that hundreds of millions of people around the globe will now needlessly suffer and die from cancer for many many many years to come.

Stuff Christians Like: Doubting Doubt
By Jon Acuff
Real Christians don’t doubt. Everyone knows that. If you’ve got doubt in your heart, even a smidge, well then, I’m sorry, you’re still a “baby Christian.” I’ll pray for you, I’ll pray that someday you’ll be an “on fire Christian” and not be so wracked with doubt, because us real Christians never feel doubt.
We wake up in the morning and instantly remember all the other times God has come through. When we are faced with challenges, we don’t fear. We don’t worry. We certainly don’t doubt. You know what I do when I run into a difficult time? I giggle. I pick up that challenge in my hands and tickle it’s belly like an adorable little kitten. Because I live a doubt free life. Like every Christian should.
Because otherwise, if you do find doubt in your heart, you better hide that under the bed. Or between your mattresses, God never thinks to look there. But if He does, if He does find doubt in your heart, I hope, for your sake, you’ll be thrown in the regular lake of fire instead of the lake of fire where you have to spend all of eternity noodlin’ for alligator gar. (Noodlin’ is the “sport” where you walk in lakes/rivers and jam your hands down holes in the ground with the hope that a giant catfish will bite you, allowing you to pull it out and capture it. In Africa they have a version of this that involves lions but instead of “noodlin’” it’s called “dyin’”. An alligator gar is some crazy type of fish I just saw on a show called “River Monsters” in which a biologist spends an entire hour trying to catch, you guessed it, a “river monster.” Whole show should take 7 minutes. I think I just broke the legal length limits of parenthesis.)
