Mar 31, 2005 19:27

A reporter on the scene in Pinellas Park told us on PCCboard the events surrounding the death of Terri Schaivo and was quite upset that the Schindlers were not allowed to be present and Michael Schaivo immediately left.

I think I love you. At last, someone who GETS IT. Sigh. I guess the fundy Christian perspective often blinds people to reality, dignity, justice and basic humanity. Let's hope she gets some dignity in death that her parents refused to allow her for the past 15 years.

Thank you for putting into such graceful words the message I have been trying to get across since this whole debacle started.
I think I love you.

God, have mercy on this country.

Sibbidy,
Jesus said when you pray, to do so in your closet, not on a street corner. So if you are a Christian, why have you come on a livejournal full of unbelievers and spoken this prayer for mercy where only they can hear you?
If you have a view to offer, what is it? Do you have any arguments to offer to support your view? Or just a rebuke with no reasons?

Christ also says to profess our faith to all the nations. Why is it with such venom you attack anyone who does not share your view? If it isn't ok for people to speak freely on your live journal, why do you post it for the public to read and comment on? Consider a friends only journal. That way you never have to encounter someone who might disagree with you. Why is it you take such offense at the prospect of someone praying for their country? Did I ask you to take on my faith? Perhaps you feel convicted?

Where have I attacked you or spoken with venom about you? Can you point to it? I have never made a statement about you in my life, since I don't know you.

I want you to speak freely and express your views here. In fact, I even asked you to do so. I just reminded you about what Jesus said about prayer. That is all.

Where did I take offense to you praying? I do not agree with Jesus about this; I want you to support our country on my livejournal as much as you want. The one who does not want you to pray in public is Jesus, not me.
