Two comments:
1.) This is what should have happened a long time ago. The actions of family and protestors denied this woman her place with God for too long. To insist on holding onto a minimal shred of Earthly life does not protect and value life but rather deminishes the soul. It makes the case that physical is more valuable than spiritual. In essence those who dragged this on were declaring their lack of faith in God to save the soul. And after all, that's what it's all about -- the saving of the soul, not the physical life. The soul is what matters. Terry's ability to make choices (and therefore serve God) ended long ago. There was no reason why she shouldn't have been released from this earthly plain years ago. God is merciful and if his will were done Terry would have moved out years ago. It was the actions of family, lawyers and protestors which prevented God's mercy from working.
2.) When a man and a woman marry they leave their parents and cleave to one another. They become one flesh. The husband is the right one to make decisions about the spouse, not the parents. THat is God's order.
So where do Michael Schiavo's mistress and illegitimate children fit into that equation, hmmmmm?
Now, I'd advise putting on an asbestos suit. You're gonna need it.
I seem to recall another of God's orders: Thou shalt not commit adultery.
In case you missed it -- Michael no longer cleved to his wife. He is cleaving to another woman, and has abandoned his wife. He is a sinner not in a state of grace, for he vowed before God for better for worse, in sickness and in health, and until death do us part. He gave up his rights when he shacked up with another woman and had children with her. This pig should go to jail for polygamy. Where is the NOW and womens rights activists on this issue? More hypocracy from the left.
You're statements are wron in soooooo many ways.
I feel sorry for you.
1) He is not her husband in reality. He has two children by a woman that he's been living with for years. He's divorced.
2) Secondly, neither a spouse nor parents have the right to murder a spouse or child, with or without consent. Think about it!
It is the duty of the State to defend the lives of its citizens. The right to life is the preeminent right. Without that right, we can have no others.
#2. It's supposed to be God's call when her life should end. Not Michael Schiavo's.
She wasn't dying until they withheld her food and water.
People like you can argue that black is white and red is blue but there is one thing you must remember:
There is only one God and there is only one truth. His truth. No one else's opinion or "truth" counts in the end.
They should have chosen life! Now I am afraid for what might happen in this country. The immediate aftermath of this by people and the long term effect.
I wonder if the UN Human Rights Council will have us up on Human Rights complaints? Not that it matters, I'm just wondering. What irony.
***Terry's ability to make choices (and therefore serve God) ended long ago.
Oh, so you are God now? How do you know what her purpose or service on this earth is?
***There was no reason why she shouldn't have been released from this earthly plain years ago.
What about God's reason? She was here for some reason unexplainable to you & I. Where is your trust in God?
***God is merciful and if his will were done Terry would have moved out years ago.
How in the world do you know what his will is?
What arrogance....
2.The husband is the right one to make decisions about the spouse, not the parents. Ahhh- you mean the husband who has another family and has been living with another "wife" for 10 years ? That loving, faithful husband ?
This man ceased to be her husband when he committed adultery, the only acceptptable reason in Christ's words for divorce. Read the case. This man, her "husband" denied her the treatment she deserved.
The Pope doesn't agree.
There's a lot of starving people in the world. Perhaps we should end their sufffering because it's diminishing their souls. Send 'em back to God, right? Ethiopia? Never again. Indonesia? Let 'em drown. Their lives are impoverished and miserable. God's mercy worked fabulously in Stalin's Russia.
I expect you will stop taking penicillin and drop your healthcare so that "God's will" plays out without any interference in your demise.
God also says that we must Love, Honor and Cherish our spouses and FORSAKE all others. Having two children with a woman that is NOT his wife and living with her as man and wife for 10 years is NOT in any Gods commandment that I know of. Unless it's some pagan God that liberals tend to cleave too.
Michael should have had no right to make decisions for the life of the women he was cheating. I will also remind you that cheating is not only against Gods law but it is against man's law.
Uh, where does the live-in lover of HINO and the new kids fit in with YOUR idea of order.... under the martial bed or on it?

Thanks for a wonderful expression of the pro-death-cult spin.
You mention God alot, but forgot that part about "Thou Shalt Not Kill". You are morally confused.
"To insist on holding onto a minimal shred of Earthly life does not protect and value life but rather deminishes the soul. "
Really? Is your soul diminished by the earthly presence of the infirm, the disabled, the elderly, the frail, the mentally retarded, the bald terminally-ill cancer kid, etc.?
Your comments don't even begin to tell the story of Michael and Terri Schiavo's marriage, her illness/condition/or whatever led to her tragic end. Beautiful sentiments, but there is so much more here, not just about Terri and her family, but what this means for the entire country and millions of handicapped and sick people who aren't 'productive' anymore, whose 'quality of life' is less than yours or mine, those who can't speak for themselves. With dwindling health dollars and resources, you'd better believe the Grim Reaper will be coming to many more people with the 'blessings' of the state. What happened was very, very scary. (And the truth is, if God had wanted to take Terri fifteen years ago, nothing on earth would have stopped Him.)
So, under that definition - all children, especially infants and fetuses, must be killed, and all mentally disabled individuals must also be killed. That's unbelievable.

You haven't followed this case at all, yet you are commenting anyway - unless you think marriages are "open".
