On the ridiculousness of modern Christianity
Terri Shiavo. This has already been talked to death, so I'll keep it short. A person who is on the brink of death for fifteen years is artificially kept alive. That sounds natural. Let's assume God exists for the sake of argument (but let's forego the capitalization of pronouns for simplicity). I'm sure he didn't intend for his little creations to be unnaturally held in an incompetent stasis for over a decade. Death is as much a part of life as birth is. If this woman was supposed to die fifteen years ago, it's not up to us to hold her forever in this world as nothing more than a breathing corpse. And what do the religious extremists care? It's only slightly ironic that the ones who actually believe in eternal afterlife and undying love from the creator are the ones who are raising such a fuss over supposedly releasing this woman into that bliss.
