Turning To Religion At A Time Of Crisis


Recommended Posts

if there is a god, he sure as shit better be ashamed of himself for creating you.
no surprise coming from a heartless wonder like you Austinas for me, I am praying to get through the next round of radiation treatments next week. and for Austin to find some compassion and someone to love him so that he won't be a miserable son of a bitch the rest of his life.

everyone knows prayers don't come true if you say them out loud

No, no problem. It's just a little odd that you'd post a prayer asking God to take you instead of others in at least three places (like one wasn't good enough). A bit dramatic, but hey it's the inte

I got nothing better to do so why not take some time to respond...first of all, I not looking for any ones sympathyYes you were. Maybe you don't realize it but it was a obvious post of LOOK AT ME PEOP

Rose, you are my hero. In the face of adversity and pain you remain positive and strong. I admire many such aspects of your character. I would like to dedicate this verse to you:If you can keep your head when all about youAre losing theirs and blaming it on you,If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,But make allowance for their doubting too;If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,Or being hated, don't give way to hating,And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;If you can meet with Triumph and DisasterAnd treat those two impostors just the same;If you can bear to hear the truth you've spokenTwisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:If you can make one heap of all your winningsAnd risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,And lose, and start again at your beginningsAnd never breathe a word about your loss;If you can force your heart and nerve and sinewTo serve your turn long after they are gone,And so hold on when there is nothing in youExcept the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,If all men count with you, but none too much;If you can fill the unforgiving minuteWith sixty seconds' worth of distance run,Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!Obviously ignore the part at the end about being a man, but other than that I think this pome sums up your outlook on life and your good attitude and spirit. Best of luck with your treatment Rose, I'm rooting for you as alwaysLG

thx Lady Greyand Avs who imagery?

no it isnt. not in the slightest. its quite ridiculous, to be honest.
why do you run from love?
why Austin? good question?you think I haven't been hurt. I have, tons of times, and very deeply. It doesn't mean I am going to give up on life or stop experiencing it. Your young and I am double your age so think of the times I have been disappointed or hurt and you don't see me giving up living, caring, or loving. Life is too short to hate my friend when you could go out there and have fun and enjoy it. I am having the best time of my life now with whatever I have left and that is what counts. Make your life count Austin please. Get out there take chances, yes sometimes they cause pain but sometimes there is love behind it. That love you may find may be the best thing that will ever happen to you but if you don't go out and try it will never happen. Stop feeling ****ing sorry for yourself or so afraid of being hurt again. Can't find any type of love hiding out.

Or in other words...What's it all about, Austin? Is it just for the moment we live? What's it all about when you sort it out, Austin? Are we meant to take more than we give? Or are we meant to be kind? And if only fools are kind, Austin, then I guess it is wise to be cruel. And if life belongs only to the strong, Austin, what will you lend on an old golden rule? As sure as I believe there's a heaven above, Austin. I know there's something much more, something even non-believers can believe in. I believe in love, Austin. Without true love we just exist, Austin. Until you find the love you've missed you're nothing, Austin. When you walk let your heart lead the way and you'll find love any day, Austin.

do you have a problem with that slink?like really, if they stopped my radiation, and things are not going well and are at a stand still for me, then I rather the lord take me instead of them. They are younger and still have a lot to offer in life. So I am one who knows were things are at in my life, I rather save theres if there is that chance.

I'm sure that if there is a God (there isn't), he doesn't have quotas to fill... so, it wouldn't be a case of 'taking you' over anyone else. Because that would be quite horrible now, wouldn't it? It would indicate that God was an evil, narcissistic type being, just waiting to take people off the face of the earth for his own pleasure.Personally, I wish you and chrozzo nothing but the best. I honestly hope you both come through any problems you have and wish you the best of luck... but, in the meantime, stop wishing that God takes you instead. Relax, Rose. :club:

No, no problem. It's just a little odd that you'd post a prayer asking God to take you instead of others in at least three places (like one wasn't good enough). A bit dramatic, but hey it's the internet. P.S. I don't think God works that way, but admittedly I am no expert.

It might be wrong to question God in your religion, but it can't be wrong to question those who told you there was such a God who doesn't stand you questioning his existence. In other words, religion is a fraud.I can't blame everybody for choosing a re-comforting lie over a cold truth. I, on the other hand, chose the Red Pill.

Maybe God only reads Off Topic or maybe he's a General Poker type of deity. We just don't know. Probably not a Religion forum fan though.

So I need some help. Is this the topic I post my prayers in? I tried doing it at my bed before laying down Saturday night but nothing happened. Then I stopped at church yesterday morning and still my prayer has not been answered. So should I do it here?

God knows if someone is testing him. Also, he probably already answered your prayer.... with a 'no'.Serious part of my post:If you really need prayer for something (I'm assuming your post was sarcastic), let me know, so I can pray for you as well.

No I don't need anything that is worthy of actual prayer but thanks though for the offer.My issue is that her posts are retarded. Actually self-serving, attention whoring selfishness would be a better description. I have no issue with feeling bad about ones situation or about anothers, but to go around a poker website posting prayers to god to kill you and save another is just plain disrespectful, rude, and not deserving of any sympathy from me at least. Of cousre I spent 9 hours dealing with a sewage back up yesterday so my mood is tense.

It's the athletes that get me. If you pray to win are you really expecting God to will losing upon the opponent? Is God rooting foryou to be #1 (finger waving in the air) and the other team to lose? I find it rather pretentious that they would believe that he actually cared who won a sporting event.I have no problem with prayer and believe alot of people should take a few moments each day to do a little self-reflectionand ponder life a little.
