Not if what he said about them is true, and I suspect it is.
... and then had the unmitigated gall to spout off about sin.
Don't worry, you're safe. Charlite is not the ultimate judge. Besides, he doesn't seem to be talking about you.
For those who are believers in "sin and punishment," ...
I think what I meant was that if one believes that doing harm to one's fellow man while on the earth, brings retribution hereafter, then it would logically follow that people who were complicit in ending Terri's life, for reasons having nothing to do with the general state of her health, would be looking at some serious remorse, at the very least.........once they've left the earth themselves.
Does that sound a bit softer? Heaven knows. I'm not meting out "retribution." But I am "judging" simply by taking a "right vs. wrong" position on this monumental, inexcusable and unnecessary human tragedy.
Someone would have to convince me of just whom would have been gravely harmed, had Michael simply released Terri to her parents. That's all anyone was asking of him.
I will therefore, never understand why it was "essential" to Michael and Felos that nothing would suffice but her extermination! There is simply no rational explanation for their actions, unless Felos gets a big high from the power he wields as arbiter (with Greer's help), of life and death. (To him, it's "beautiful" - don't forget), and Michael just wanted her permanently out of the way, for what was left of the malpractice money, and so that he could be free to marry again.
If there is no afterlife; if there is no eternal life, then of course, there can't be retribution. I was speaking from the point of view of (I'm guessing) millions who strongly believe that one must atone for one's "sins" in the hereafter. Who could have interpreted my statement as a "divine judgment" decreed by little me?
