If it was unprovable she wanted to die, than it was unprovable that she wanted to live.
The gaping crack is that all the "doo doo" process in the world before a corrupted system is so much window dressing. Morally it's like arguing about the math you can do on a broken calculator. Even 20, 30 years ago Mr. Schiavo would have been sent packing from the courts, with excellent reason.
In Christian theology a person becomes perfect by being embraced in Christ.
So it all boiled down to what the law was engineered to say in such a case. Which was, as plainly demonstrated before our eyes, an abomination. Might as well brag about the fine German engineering of the trains that carried their cargo (er, people) to Auschwitz.
So why did you want to keep her from being with Him in the Kingdom of Heaven?
I don't debate with people who compare Terri's case to Nazi Germany. Goodbye.
The Kingdom of Heaven begins among Christians, here in this sin-marred universe. God wasn't joking when He thundered at Sinai with fire and smoke, and etched deeply in stone: "THOU SHALT NOT KILL!"
They are an excellent example of what happens when an ostensibly marvelous system -- oh, how Himmler kept the trains running on time! -- oh, how this was wrangled up and down the courts with every possible argument! -- goes hideously (Hildy-ously?) wrong. You run from the comparison because you know how apt it is.
I believe all Christians who were fighting for Terri to live, saw something special in her, beyond the fact that she was simply a creature made in God's image who had done nothing to merit being starved to death. She was a sacrificial lamb in a spiritual battle of colossal proportion. "When the foundations are destroyed, what shall the righteous do?" We now know the answer: they get Greered.
Did any of the money come out of your pocket?
You did know that didn't you?
And I should care about that? The poster was confusing the names and acknowledged it.
Strictly humorless, and we all know what you said about people who are humorless.
And since this isn't the topic of this thread, this will have to wait for another time perhaps.
Don't hold your breath though.
That was humor.
