Introduction
1. OK, let's see how you did on that last question:
3. Who would be considered the most evil dictator of the last century?
a) Saddam Hussein
b) Adolph Hitler
c) Ivan the Terrible

One of the greatest reasons why this world is filled with unforgiven people is because this world is filled with people who will not even acknowledge the fact of their sin. Do you believe Hitler thought he was sinning against the Jews? Do you believe Stalin thought he was sinning against his own people? The very concept of sin itself has become a forbidden word even in m ...
