friends grandson

My friends grandson, who will be 1 in a few weeks, fell out of his moms bed (I think she brought him in there with her because he got up too early), and there was a lamp on the floor with, I'm assuming, no bulb or shade.  He fell on it on his head and it got him right in the soft-spot.  HORRIBLE.  It went an inch in and now he is at a Childrens Hospital and they say it hit a vein, there was bleeding, and he had leaked some spinal-fluid. HORRIBLE, AWFUL accident.  I'm sure his mom is mentally kicking herself over and over.  Hopefully he will be okay. 

My friend posted about it on Facebook and sure enough EVERYONE who replied said they were praying for him.  WHAT THE HELL GOOD DOES THAT DO?????????  It will be the doctors and SCIENCE that save him, not begging an invisible 'god' who, if he/she/it exists, let him get hurt in the first place, or should just heal him right now with no begging.  I will not say anything or post that because this is obviously not the time, but SERIOUSLY does NOBODY THINK???!!!!!!!!!!  I, of course, am hoping for him to be absolutely fine, and I hope it with all my heart, but I'm not going to beg some sky-daddy to make him better.  I am trusting the doctors and their training.

Reading the posts was just surreal to me.

Wow that is so sick!  I know people have told me that 'god' gave my now 17 year-old son type 1 diabetes 'for a reason' when he was 10.

 It sure is! I hate this everything happens for a reason shit.

 

Yup,I have a friend who thinks she has fibro for a reason..The reason is so she can understand her adopted son better who does not have fibro.

 But on other forums I see this:"I'll pray for you shit almost every other day. Someone told me it really means nothing more than :"You are in my thoughts."

The baby is going to be okay (thanks to science, modern technology, hospitals, and doctors, etc.) and now everyone is putting on Facebook about the amazing power of prayer and how well it works. REALLY?  What about all the parents of babies that went to the hospital but died.  Guess 'god' said NOOOO to them, or their prayers weren't strong enough. I hate people.  It seriously makes me want to be a hermit.

It must be annoying to be the doctors who get zero credit! Hope he heals well.

Those doctors must''ve gone to school for nothing!  It was the friendship prayer-chain, according to one of their friends, that did the job and got 'god' to heal him.

Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film video

Posted by Debra Stevenson on May 21, 2013 at 2:37pm 0 Comments

There is a video of the Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film.  The man isn't demon possessed, there are likely no 'real' demons.  He's just delusional and doesn't want to accept personal responsiblity for his own behavior for his own dysfunctional life.

Do you support 'traditional' marriage, vot now ad

Posted by Debra Stevenson on May 21, 2013 at 2:28pm 2 Comments

There is an ad that reads ' Do you support 'traditional' marriage? Vote Now"!  .

 

 

No, I don't support 'traditional' marriage because there is no such thing. I support heterosexual and same-sex couples marry each other legally , yes.  'Traditional' marriage promoters largely do not believe that heterosexual women are co-equal to their husbands.  Their only purpose in 'traditional' marriage is to sexually satisfy their husbands if they can and raise children and do all…

i've got no problem with everyone saying "merry christmas" on christmas day.  however, they've turned it into an entire holiday season where it lasts a month or more.  in those situations it should be perfectly acceptable to say "happy holidays" or call it a…

My first funeral as an atheist

Posted by Two Cult Survivor on May 21, 2013 at 11:30am 0 Comments

I posted the bulk of this on another thread, but wanted to add some context separately.

I finally confronted my faith and embraced the fact of my atheism late last August, 2012. Days after I revealed my "epiphany" to a few friends who knew me from another message board, my sister died from Lou Gehrig's Disease (which pissed her off because she hated catching a disease from someone she never f---ed).

THAT was my sister, understand? She was a beautiful, life-loving, potty-mouthed…
