Do you think that if she doesn't perform a particular ritual her soul will be damned to hell? Do you think God is that cruel?

The Bible does not threaten hell for such a thing. God will welcome Terri when her time comes. :-)

If the Florida state enforcement is actively causing a woman to be starved to death then I'd support the Marines giving them option of standing down or meeting their maker.

[PatriotGirl827]

Lots of people who go to church regularly do not have a "religious advisor".

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

You are on solid ground. I can point out history. Some fatally wounded crusaders were so desperate to recieve Holy Communion before death they put blades of grass in their mouths. To justify the law by preaching is to deny people the right to 'free exercize of religion'. FReegards....

[RGSpincich]

Terri Schiavo received Last Rites just prior to her feeding tube being removed.

[Mad Mammoth]

I don't understand the resentment towards the Bush's . What more could they have done, send in the Marines. Thank you for comitment for this very important cause.

President Eisenhower didn't hesitate to send in federal troops to Little Rock in 1957 to protect black students from being lynched, and the state and local governments AND law enforcement were openly defying the Constitution and the law of the land.

48 years later, President Bush and Governor Bush could have at least done as much to save Terri Schiavo's life.

They did not.

[Bernard]

Thanks. That answered my question.

[alnick]

Why - because they are on the same starvation diet?

LOL.

The reasoning, such as it was, was that Coulter should have told her friend, Drudge, to make more of an issue of certain Shiavo related headlines in order to persuade more people to support her cause.

[Stormcrow]

"The Bushes have done everything possible."

No. Not even close.

I don't understand the resentment towards the Bush's

The Bush brothers, in this struggle, have emasculated both themselves and the offices they hold by not protecting the civil rights of their citizens. When the story of the tyrannical and imperial judiciary is told, the Bush brothers will be prominently featured--on the wrong side.

[alnick]

Yes, this is America, and I'm sure you can see I wasn't trying to force anyone to change his belief system. Just exercising my right to point something out.

[Mark was here]

Lots of people who go to church regularly do not have a "religious adviser".

When I was a kid the "religious adviser" was called the Preacher.

Going to a church with out a Preacher or Minister or Priest or Rabbi must be quite an experience.

[Cincinnatus]

Yes, she did perform her Easter duty when two drops of consecrated wine were placed in her last feeding tube. It should be fun to watch the others figure out what we're talking about.

[Cincinnatus]

From Ash Wednesday to Trinity Sunday (the week after Pentecost).

[farmer18th]

Excessive emotionalism, with a dash of irrationality and a smidgen of self-righteous hysteria.

Yeah, the state starves innocent women all the time. State judges flout federal subpoenas all the time. What's the big deal? They're just-like-starving her, man.

[zeller the zealot]

My sentiments exactly. A big moment has slipped by and proven them not up the task.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

"Yes, this is America, and I'm sure you can see I wasn't trying to force anyone to change his belief system. Just exercising my right to point something out."

Right, and I'm exercizing my right to speak as well. I don't tell a Jew "Sure you can eat pork and go to heavan," if he visits my home. Why? I respect his religious beliefs. If the courts force pork down his feeding tube, you know what the outrcy would be and should be. The law would be wrong.

[Bernard]

Hey, I was close. I'm sure Sister Mary Theodore would not believe that I would remember that much this many years later.

[PatriotGirl827]

That's not what I thought you meant by a religious advisor. Of course, when I go to church their is a Priest - don't be ridiculous. But I have never had to seek him out on a personal one-on-one basis for advice or counseling. That, in my opinion, is a religious advisor, as opposed to just a parish priest.

[cyborg]

Hope it wasn't eternalvigilance.
