Oh wow. I found an article about this and posted to prochoice just now.

I wish I believed in hell just so that I could believe that there would be any kind of justice for what these fanatics have committed.

[pixxelpuss]

Agreed.

I don't believe in hell either, but I do believe in a kind of necessary process to enter Heaven, which is geared (by God, who knows how) toward teaching them, and gaining repentence from them, for whatever evil they've done in life. Punishment/learning experience/Karma, all in one. It's no eternal damnation, but this asshole who just killed a doctor on his way into church would get some degree of comeuppance, and (best of all) come out of it pro-choice.

The murderer will be reborn into a pro-choice woman and be powerless to watch as the woman lives her life pro-choice, he'll just be a prisoner watching. That's karma. :P

I have learned that the comment section of online rural newspapers is possibly the most headdesk-y place in the entire universe.

[dimethirwen]

I think it's safe to say that most comment sections of most online newspapers is a circle of hell that needs to be avoided at all costs.

I know. I wish I could be more articulate about it, but yeah, I know. I do blame those groups for fostering a hatred based not in any reality, but in a jaundiced and narrow view of humanity that encourages them to value only one kind of life, and allows them to dismiss everything else as chaff in the wind. They don't pull the trigger, no, but they spew enough hateful bullshit to make fertile ground for this kind of savagery. And they will never look to themselves as the cause. It's pathetic, and would be laughable if it didn't lead to this kind of thing.

There isn't a word in the english language that means "I recognize what you've just said as bone-deep truth, and I respect and love you for saying it." There needs to be.

"Amen." Not, technically, English, but certainly in English usage.

Horrible. I hate people sometimes.
