Unfortunatly, I have followed this case for way too long.
If I was an athiest that did not believe in life after death, I would agree and support the efforts that many Freepers have done.
As someone that firmly believes in a life after death, I consider it a travesty for this poor woman. Let her be with God in Heaven today, and stop her suffering.
Your concepts of spirituality and God are obviously different from mine. I can and do respect that.
I have stated my beliefs as to what is best for her spiritually, and firmly believe in it.
So, please do not attempt to call me ignorant on Terri Schaivo.
"As someone that firmly believes in a life after death, I consider it a travesty for this poor woman. Let her be with God in Heaven today, and stop her suffering."
You are stepping on your own toes. If God wanted her dead then He could just take her, could He not? You think He would rather she be starved to death? We cannot begin to understand God, we can just try our best to do what he wants. If He wanted her to die and go to Heaven as much as you say then He could have taken her years ago when whatever did this to her happened, could He not? Is God not powerful enough to do that? Of course He is. He doesn't NEED us for anything. But that doesn't mean that He doesn't see His will carried out in His people. Perhaps the reason that Terri has survived this long even after being ordered murdered in 2001 is a testament to the fact that God's will is not for her to leave earth right now. Perhaps HIS will is for her to make a full recovery and do something important through this situation. But even so, the judges and her "husband" do not CARE about God's will, so they are trying to use their free will (God given, btw) to kill her. Will God stand in the way of that decision? Possibly, but not necessarily. Like I said in a previous post, God does not always stop bad things from happening, therefore we cannot assume that everything that happens is God's will.
The Bible says that God would that all men would come to Him and be saved (His will). But He doesn't force that on any person. From that right there we can assume that God's will is not always carried out. Especially when certain aspects of it are in the hands of fallible men. God has the power to stop all this and either take Terri home, or make her well in spite of the court and her "husband". But just because He has the the power to see His will done, does not mean that it will be done. So, with me, your argument that if He wants Terri alive then nothing can stand in the way of that does not fly with me. Because He wants us all to go to Heaven, but all of us will not.
I hope I have conveyed my point clearly. I rambled on and it's very wordy, but I needed to say it.
WHAT? BY STARVING HER TO DEATH?
Folks, this guy is a troll. Dont waste your time on this cretin.
If you have been following this case, you would know it's not about "letting her be with God." There is nothing wrong with her that food and water can't fix. She isn't suffering now, but she will if she is starved to death. Like I said, you don't have a clue. By the way, her last name is spelled "Schiavo."
You are correct in one case, ignorant does not apply to you. Ignorant implies that you are not aware of the facts, and since you are aware that makes you something else altogether.
