But we're also happy because we know that death is not the end, and that life here on earth is temporary anyway, everyone has to go someday. There's always hope. She would want us to be happy too, because she knew this. | ||

JesusCruxRH: I am really sorry to hear about your friend. Wow, it's just horrible. I'd like to say that I *greatly* admire you and the others of your church for praying for forgiveness for the killer. It is amazing how often compassion and forgiveness and acceptance can transform evil into good. There is profound wisdom in that particular teaching from Jesus. | ||

I mean, I personally feel sad, but I also spend a lot of time reflecting on my memories of that person. I feel pretty happy while doing this too. I obviously understand the dangers in "decreasing" the value of life (suicide bombers, extc.), but I am just talking about the emotions people may feel after a death. Why should people feel nothing but sorrow when someone dies?:o | ||

You could always attack his religious belief at a more tactful time too, instead of in his blog about his friend dying;( Or make your own blog post citing this one. just saying;x | ||

Idra you are imposing your own set of values onto someone else. I do not find that appreciative especially when you flat out trolls someone else's blog. . . | ||

But, to each his own I guess. RIP, whatever that means. In defense of Irda (because I know where he's coming from), this is the best possible place to respond to a post that begot that particular reaction. Why should he be required to cite this post in a blog of his own, even given the circumstances? It's not like RH showed any less remorse for the victim than Irda did, afterall. | ||

I can understand what you're saying, that if you don't believe in religion then you wouldn't accept an afterlife. The purpose of this post was pretty much just a reminder, like Peter wrote, to live good lives. A reminder mostly for myself. As soon as we stop caring that's when we become inhuman. We Christians pray for the murderer because we see him as family, and we pray he can find it in his heart to say sorry to her. Don't mistake my silence for insensitivity - FYI she had been missing for a whole week and we were worried sick. I don't speak on behalf of all Christians when I say this though but I'm not devastated. Jesus taught us not to get too attached to the world, despite all the wonderful things that are here, like friends and family, the place they truly reside are not on this earth. I'm not grieving because I believe I'll see her again someday, and that she is with the One who loves her most. I didn't mention this before but she was also deaf, and even just from reading the responses to this thread I know she needed more protection from the world than the rest of us, and we couldn't always provide it (for example, she would get hurt really easily if someone told her: "what the fuck is wrong with you", simply for being a Christian, when she has never done anything mean to others and was always a good friend). I'm not trying to judge you Idra, but in the future perhaps it would be better to respond like: "I don't believe in God so she's gone forever, it sucks but that's just the way it is". You'd get your point across without being mean, otherwise you're no better than those Christians who protest at gay funerals. | ||

i don't believe in heaven but I'm sure theres peace in death. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimethyltryptamine The brain releases this and causes hallucinations when you die or are about to die, so I guess you can experience something a little out of this world too, even if you don't care for religion. | ||

One of them later died, and the parents were angry because the teacher didn't show up at his funeral. At the end of the episode he was in his office late at night by himself crying. What? I think this confirms my suspicion that you have no idea what the fuck is going on. | ||
