I'm floored.

219 posts, and not one mention of the episode of South Park that featured Christopher Reeve and stem-cell research. Soothing Dave, if you can believe it, was the one who first brought my attention to it. I've never seen the episode myself.

There, it's mentioned.

God can show inspiration in all sorts of circumstances where other can see none. Did Christopher Reeve's suffer a far worst fate than an Egyptian Christian imprisoned and tortured for his faith? Or how about a 10 year old girl in Africa who has become the breadwinner of her family and must work 12-16 hours days just to feed her brothers and sisters after her parents have died of AIDS?

It's hard to say how God works but we know all things work for His glory. Perhaps others WERE inspired.

Actually, Jews aren't supposed to write it out.

Some things are just reprehensible, regardless of ideology.

Thank you, and amen.

But like everything else in life, I believe nothing happens by chance. My friend and others on the set were changed by God working through the agonizing struggle of one human being who was taught for all the world to see that man does not fly of his own accord.

This is truly beautiful Dr. Eckleburg, as were your intentions on this thread. It is regretful that it has come to this here too, as it did on the other threads. You have set a fine example of Christian compassion.

> I am wondering how many hours it will be before
> the left blames Bush for Reeve dying.

LOL. No doubt Kerry will explain that before, when Reeve was quadraplegic, but still alive, it was just a "nuisance."

May Reeve rest in peace. His politics may have been misled, but he did show great courage in the face of adversity.

These are the people who don't understand what salvation by grace through faith means. Before I start to sound that way, I will just say, I pray for them also. God bless them.

Yeah, sure you do.

I do hope he got saved I really do. And I do not gloat when someone suffers or dies. I pray for the unsaved all the time...

Eloquently remembered, Dr. E.

As to where he is now, that is not for us to say. But we can honor his life and his valiant struggle against adversity most of us will never know.

Good bye, Christopher Reeves.

Do I get to condemn you now?

Of course not.

Because in my Church, there are no exceptions.

I don't know of any church that does not make an exception in the case of the mother's life.

Why don't you tell us what church you belong to so we can verify this claim?

By my Church's definition, you may just be as hellbound as Reeve.

Mr. Reeve, for all I know, is not "hellbound." What I do know is that he actively campaigned for the murder of children.

Surely, you will disagree.

I'll just point out the embarrassingly basic flaw in your logic.

There is a difference between campaigning on behalf of abortion and campaigning against it.

By your logic, the fireman who chooses to save two people on the ground floor while leaving one person behind on the upper floor is a hellbound murderer, even if he goes back to try and save that last person.

Logical people, however, realize that he is not a murderer and that trying to save as many lives as circumstances allow is not a crime.

Oh, I wouldn't take that bet.

That's good, because precisely what I said earlier has now happened. Rush played clips of Dungheap Harkin, "Big Dick" Durbin, and Cheesedog Edwards all but saying Bush's policies killed Reeves. I guess I should always lowball my expectations of the left.
