I have reacted to the last week with relative patience, I feel. I suppose I can understand the turmoil everyone seems to be experiencing over the port, but I cannot say I completely empathize.

Unless you were unfortunate enough to be on the Barge when it was exploded? You did not die during the last port. You were not killed during the last port. No

I'm sorry, but I simply can't agree.

Have you ever been killed? Truly. Not just send to the land of the dead.

No. And I still don't feel that I have been. But we did die. Our souls were free to be judged and move on to their eternal resting places. There was a very well appointed train available, in fact, depending on your judgment.

Also there were donkeys.

As with every port, we blend in. We were in the same state as the other inhabitants of that world. We did not, however, die. No more than appearing in an insane asylum made the lot of us insane.

I do wish that I could see it that way, but equating the reward of an eternal and perfect life with Jesus, free from all sickness and sadness, with wrongful incarceration seems just a bit sacrilegious.
