You say you "stay out" of this issue because it is of a personal,philosophical/religious matter, and that both sides have "hard core stances."
Why do you "stay away" from religious matter? Since God exists and has certain requirements, why would you stay away from seeking what He wants?
You acknowledge there are two sides. Why would you "stay away" from a side which is right, and true, and honorable? What is wrong with having "hard core" truth?
Why do you call trying to save a life "wasting time"? Would you murder someone tonite? If not, are you "wasting time?"
Why do you view someone who wants life as a "fanatic"? "Fanatic" has a negative, not complimentary denotation. Why do you view those who try to help victims be rescued as so awful? If protecting those who can't help themselves doesn't meet your standard of good, wht could? Nothing. I can get a pretty good picture of your marriage. You've said you'll "honor" your wife if she wants to murder herself.
Is that really the man you want to be, one who runs from important issues, one who chooses the easy way, one who chooses what is wrong over what is right, a man who is impotent to help, indifferent to the most important things in life?
This is not an issue only about Terri, but of you and I, too Jesus said that if you are willing to murder, even if only in your heart, you are guilty before God of the very act. We either believe His words, or not. We either want to rescue the helpless, or we don't. Not "rescuing the helpless" when they face murder isn't somthing I choose.
You "chose" to "stay away." I'm asking you now to choose to get in. Be a man. Let God change your heart and give you a love for life and for others, and for yourself. Love Him, love others, instead of promoting their murder.
Because I don't KNOW what God wants!
If you are so sure he wants this poor lady to live ask him why he allows his Islamic sons and daughters to kill thousands of innocent people everyday...why he allowed a tsunami to wipe out 300,000 Asians...why Huns and Mongols and Crusaders and Mujahadeen have been killing in the name of their "faiths" for thousands of years.
