Actually, I think that if Terri had made her wishes more explicit, either by sharing her intent with more people or memorializing them with a legal instrument, this would not be nearly as contentious as it is.
I think Freeper thoughts on this tend to come from a wide distrust of Terri's husband. There are good reasons to doubt his word (though those reasons evidently didn't sway Judge Greer). To be fair, the fact that there are good reasons to doubt him doesn't mean he isn't telling the truth, though.
Ultimately, we don't know what Terri thought, and we don't know what she thinks now.
So I don't see the issue as you do. If Terri's wishes were convincingly demonstrated (that is, if the main witness to her desire to have her life ended in this situation wasn't a guy who few on this forum trust), I think most people would honor her wishes and have her pass on.
Those that would continue to press on that her intent should somehow not be honored would be in a very small minority, both on FR and more so nationally. I have not seen many Freepers who feel that way, though.
This really has only peripherally to do with religious fervor: many people felt less and less confident in Michael Shiavo's word the more and more they learned about the case. That's entirely legit, whether they are very religious, casually religious, or not very religious at all.
Be seeing you.

"Sometimes it takes a clear and unattached mind to properly assess realities; distinguishing from literal propaganda and factual nonsense."
and what sort of pharmaceuticals have you plied your mind with to become 'unattached' (assume that indicates neurons disinclined to synapse) and full of glib, oxymoronic, non-sensical wit as you seem to expect us to accept as cogent thought?
this must be a tease, it has the scent of a kerry or gore!

Personal Message: Since you seemingly care more about parodies of the DU (I personally really like them, great work) and simplistic sensationalist headlines than you do about the realities of the harsh international world that we live in - I bid Freep farewell. I do, however, leave you with this... Okay. See ya later .....

Just one little point, from two perspectives:
If God didn't value life, why did He bother to create it?
OR
If life itself isn't valuable, why does it bother to be?

It's always a sad day when one of our long term greats leaves with a magnificent erudite Opus.
Of course, now those terrific essays on your blog that have two and three hits on them will now be reduced to one hit per essay: Yours!
Bwahahahaha!

"Leftwing Loonies" sung to the tune of Oh Suzanna
Im sick of being sick and tired,
Yes something has to give.
It could not be my lifestyle,
You know the way I live.
So if I say, Im sick and tired,
Please take it with a grain.
Im really only sick and tired,
Of folks without a brain.
Leftwing loonies destroying all we see,
Someone has to stop them now,
I guess thats you and me.
The democrats, the libral press,
The folks in Hollywood.
They really want to wreck this land,
These folks arent up to good.
Dont vote for dems, they mean you harm,
Dont buy the New York Times.
Dont go to see the movie show,
Please dont support these slimes.
Leftwing loonies destroying all we see,
Someone has to stop them now,
I guess thats you and me.
You see they need your money to,
Continue their crusade.
Lets cut them off and then well see,
The idiots parade.
Theyll whine and squeal that we arent fair,
That we have censored speech.
No they can say what they will say,
But they arent out of reach.
The reach of Free America,
To say enoughs, enough.
Theyll find that down here on the ground,
Life can sure be tough.
Leftwing loonies destroying all we see,
Someone has to stop them now,
I guess thats you and me.

You probably already HAD a DU screen name.
And if the quoted statement is accurate of what you 'think', then you honestly have not been here much in the past few months, NOR have you been paying attention.
There have been battles over illegal immigration, there's been discussion on the EU, the UN, and a whole cast of characters.
There's even been time for trolls to toss slime around due to the MD4BUSH/Washington Post reporter scam.
And who can forget Alipac sending cretins over here to troll?
Obviously you haven't been here often.
Goodbye.
