I am an old woman now. In my life, I have noticed that those who are the first and worst to condemn others are either jealous or self-conscious. It's people like that who have driven kids like Marilyn Manson away from Our Lord and into the hands of Satan! They will face a more dreaded punishment than some poor dying 15 year old kid who just wanted to "be a man" before he died.
Also, what people are ignoring is the instinctual urge to procreate when facing death. Studies have revealed that to be the reason why soldiers have been known to be guilty of rape throughout the centuries. I just imagine it is the same for those dying of disease.
Poor Kid. If he accepted Christ as his Personal Savior, I know that Jesus welcomed him with open arms!
I hadn't thought about that but now that you mention it..
I recall reading a book about Ethel and Juluis Rosenberg, the nuclear spies.
Apparently they had been imprisoned separately and when they were reunited, shortly before they were executed, they sexually mauled each other, embarrassing the guards.
Gosh, here all this time I thought it was because they were evil & selfish, and it turns out they're just trying to perpetuate the species. Give 'em a medal!
Aren't Pride and Arrogance among the cardinal sins?
And these people think that remaining "unaware" will reduce their own self-defined punishment.
HA!
