I Was Just Shot in the Chest

could you also have a friend say he has cancer and that is gods blessing as well?

At lightning speed.

Churches did not use the new invention for several years believing to be a sign of lackof faith to use it.

Approximately 134 bell ringers died in the intrim from being in the steeple during lightning attacks.

But really, really correct logical match for that fundamentalist BS.

How many European herbalists, mainly women, were killed to maintain the church's medical monopoly in the Middle Ages?

right after the Church made a ruling that you had to have a license to practice medicine and women could not get licenses

But somehow so fitting!

World Without End. It was one of these two Ken Follett historical fictions.)

The church authorities would not allow changes to their superstitious, unfounded techniques, especially when improvements were researched and put forth by a woman. I think of it often as an example of literature in which the conservatives are fighting progressive ideas and are clearly on the wrong side of history.

But there are actual people who believe any medical treatment is against the will of God. It reminds me of that couple in Colorado who refused to allow their child to go to the hospital for a very treatable disease and the little girl ended up dying.

then he will go to heaven and you will both live in harmony, you and your murderer for eternity.

How enlightened!

I just cannot understand this thinking. I'm really starting to hate religion as a concept.

He's got low self esteem so billions of people looking up to him helps quite a bit

New keyboard please!

in favor of praying- remember when the majority thought this was INSANE? But I guess now the people who deny their children and families medical treatment are just submitting to God's will so its ok. Pretty soon, expecting doctors to wash their hands before surgery will be a violation of their personal rights.

I could go very dark with my version, but I won't.

Hint: it involves "God's Plan" to have Hitler murder most of my Grand-father's extended family.

My child was just raped and murdered--it was a gift from God and his intent

my house burned down--it was a gift from God and his intent

a tornado just roared through my town and destroyed my neighborhood--it was a gift from God and his intent

To say that a pregnancy as a result of rape is a gift from God--or that you should make "lemonade" out of the lemon that was the rape happening to you (Sharron Angle said that) is saying that no one who has a calamity fall on their heads should wail and moan and grieve or attempt to seek relief from the calamity because anything that happens to one is a gift from God.

And that shit is sick.

cuz if you are a woman suck it up. If you are a man, call an ambulance.

Isn't that a violation of the SOP?

and tie a tourniquet on him to keep blood from flowing to an organ he rarely uses; but wouldn't he suffocate if I cut off circulation to his brain?

or a split lip........

Obama has been cleaning it up and even though I don't agree with everything he has or has not done, every time I see him (and Michelle) around children and babies because they are truly closer to God, I feel assured we're at least on the right track. He deserves four more years to finish the job.

shot in the chest with this kind of law?

because without the PG, one sort of is still left hanging in this limbo of "she was asking for it".

God either gifted her with a rape that resulted in pregnancy, in which case it wasn't a "legitimate" rape because otherwise her body would have shut it down.

Or she didn't get pregnant and therefore either she was asking for it and God found her unworthy of a pregnancy or possibly it was a "legitimate" rape.

But I can understand how hard it is to keep straight the GOP classification of rapes.

Legitimate rape = no pregnancy because body shut it down
Illegitimate rape = she was asking for it and God answered her prayer.

Pregnant = illegitimate rape; she asked and God answered her prayer
Not Pregnant = legitimate rape *or* illegitimate and she asked for it but God found her deservinng of rape but unworthy of pregnancy

I guess I'll stick with the straight forward, steady Democrats

God's plan must not be hijacked by mere mortals!

Sorry, I turn everything into a conversation about the war. I guess it just shows how much it is constantly on my mind.

I sincerely hope that's not you in the picture.

if these idiots get elected.

Bravo!

that God blessed you just like God blessed Ronald Reagan. Well done!

PTxS

Next thing ya know there's a stray piece of 00 shot where my nipple oughta be.

I really hate it when Cheney visits the neighbors.

Where do I send your DU for the day?

If it's god's will, then maybe whoever shot you shouldn't be considered a criminal. Nor should the god-directed rapist. Or burglar. Really, when you think about it, why should we have laws at all. If it all comes down to god, well, so be it.

Obama should stop messing with it.

then the rapist is just doing god's will. Perhaps rapists are just performing their god-appointed duties!

And here I was thinking they were disgusting, brutal pigs.

Is it bean shaped?

His response to me? "Apples and oranges."

Whatever.

Just glad you weren't shot in the ass. That would suck.

this is pretty witty.

and try to save your life... like those really early Christians (they one's who didn't actively intend to be martyrs when they grew up) who actually believed in such anti-Old Testament propaganda like "Do unto others as you would have done unto you",
and "For the least of these you have done unto Me".

Suckers!

God's will is God's will, and you better not argue, or worse interfere with it or be damned; and there's lotsa circles of Hell with Vacancy signs on 'em!

Take that sucking, fatal chest wound and give all due Glory to God for His Blessings upon you -- you wouldn't want to be a second (or lower!) class citizen and earn less than 3/4's of men (Lily and her kind can take a sweet suck of the Almighty's sweet fuggin' as... uh we''ll leave it at that. Suffice to say: Sinners, all.) . So give praise, you got off lucky.
Nor would you want to suffer the (natural, as God meant it to be) travails of childbirth. Spinals and anesthetics my sweet ASS!
And He's got lots more planned for the extra-ribs called women.... you don't hear men extra-special cursed, asking the earth to cover them or multiple-cursed if they happen to be lactating at come oh, about Armageddon time;
so hold dear you chest wound, the Lord be praised!
And all Glory to how He shows His Love!

Medical Doctors are on God's smiting list too -- make no mistake!

Why, with all the Protestant sects arguing with each other and aimlessly milling about (Moron-Shmoron, they ought to concentrate where they agree -- Subjugating Sinners-who-should-be-stoned, for one) instead of Kolob and how many wives they should have (Psst -- China is one answer to the concubine shortage) I have 'leaked' Info that God is working to get the Dominionists and Witnesses to meld thus solving Demonic medical intervention, Holy protection for Blessed blastocysts and putting women who don't know their Old-Testament place in their place.

So with your final earthly breath, just before you enter the Celestial/Telestial (depending how many "spiritual wives" you were Sealed to) Kingdom; hum a few bars of Always Look On the Bright Side of Life and give full thanks to God you still weren't born a woman!
PRAISE BE AND GLORY,
GLORY!
