You really don't understand what the implications are of what you're saying...

My mother had a very serious heart attack six years ago. I prayed and prayed like I had never prayed before. I had faith. I even testified that my mother would be with us in a week. Then... to my absolute dismay... I had to make the call and finally disconnect my mother from life support because God chose not to heal. I preached her funeral and conducted the internment. I had come to peace with accepting that it wasn't God's will to heal her. Why do religious fundamentalists always have a knack for finding old healed wounds, just to rip them open again?

You have no idea how much your words hurt. You see... you're implying that my mother should have been healed... and that evidently I screwed up or just didn't have the faith. My fault she died.

Thank you for your version of the "good news" there Bro. Benincasa. But honestly, I could have lived without it.

I'm done on this thread. And please... don't talk to me for a while. I'm trying to keep my Christianity about this.

I think I'm going to step away from the computer for a few.
