I would like it publicly declared that no matter how close of a near-death experience I EVER have, I will never, never, never...find a Christian god on the other side of it.

looks like another thing we have in common.

i wish my sister in law would get off my ass about it lately but it's the only thing she's got since my brother passed away...

I was kinda turned off by all that as well, but if it's what she needs, whatevs. pushing it on others is not cool.

was your brother into that?

Bill was catholic, but he was not ever preachy. he just really loved Jesus and i respected that because he was always cool about it. The problem with Jenny is that her whole family is very VERY christian, her uncle is a ministar and when Bill died, she dove headfirst into his preachings. they have convinced her that if she follows what she is told (by God, moreso by her uncle and mom) that she'll be with Bill again. furthermore, she wants all of US to follow her so we will all be with him again.
i see where she is coming from and i am happy she has her belief to keep her sane. but sending me bibles and scripture and such, well sometimes i feel really weird about it. i even tried reading the things she sent but it always makes me uncomfortable.

through david's death and - more recently - jeremy's friend AJ's murder/suicide...i have been less reassured in the idea of a higher power like that...not more.
