When I was in Dublin,Ireland, this old guy (about 80) who was a night doorman at a backpacker hotel I stayed at, told me about how he refused heart surgery when he was 62 yrs old. The surgeon called in the priest to lay a guilt trip on the guy. The priest told him it was a sin to not preserve life. That he would go to hell if he did not do everything to preserve his life.

The old guy was very religious, but didn’t go to church. As he said to me,”But I do talk to God several times a day.” He turned to the priest who was trying to guilt him into surgery and replied, “You mean it was a sin for Jesus to not defend himself when they were nailing him on the cross!”

He ended up having the surgery, died, and came back to life on the operating table. He was truly an angel in disguise. You meet very few of them here on earth! The wisdom in his words was beyond this realm.
