Thank you God, may I have another! bettyellen Jun 2017 #1
just like when a tornado hits a neighborhood and kills some people, a survivor says NRaleighLiberal Jun 2017 #2
In one of the recent mass shootings SCantiGOP Jun 2017 #4
it is a form of sickness, isn't it? NRaleighLiberal Jun 2017 #5
I don't think so shenmue Jun 2017 #31
Incredible isn't it? Ligyron Jun 2017 #3
What she really meant: Voltaire2 Jun 2017 #6
I think we should give the woman a break instead of mocking her. hrmjustin Jun 2017 #7
And? AtheistCrusader Jun 2017 #9
It doesn't change anything. hrmjustin Jun 2017 #10
Why? AtheistCrusader Jun 2017 #12
Basic human decency. hrmjustin Jun 2017 #13
What she is saying can be just as hurtful to other people, as the sentiment you are decrying here. AtheistCrusader Jun 2017 #14
That is a stretch. hrmjustin Jun 2017 #15
No, it isn't. Act_of_Reparation Jun 2017 #16
She's telling people god 'does things to you'. AtheistCrusader Jun 2017 #17

Yes how dare I make anyone feel guilty for mocking this woman. hrmjustin Jun 2017 #26
You have hit on the real issue. guillaumeb Jun 2017 #34
Yes some posters here enjoy mocking people of faith. hrmjustin Jun 2017 #35
At least they are consistent. guillaumeb Jun 2017 #36
I absolutely would be sympathetic to her in person. But not to her message in a public forum. AtheistCrusader Jun 2017 #59
Again you seem oblivious to what is actually happening here. AtheistCrusader Jun 2017 #61
Try reading below and see how she's being mocked. hrmjustin Jun 2017 #66
I read the thread. Her position/claim is ridiculous. AtheistCrusader Jun 2017 #67
Ok enjoy mocking her. hrmjustin Jun 2017 #79
It's not about her. It's about the message she is sending, and how it is going to hurt others. AtheistCrusader Jun 2017 #81
Why do you keep pretending she is hurting anyone with her message? hrmjustin Jun 2017 #84
Because I know people that have struggled with the 'why did this happen to me' question. AtheistCrusader Jun 2017 #86
She is the victim. hrmjustin Jun 2017 #88
You still refuse to make the connection. AtheistCrusader Jun 2017 #90
No what a refuse to do is go along with the idea she hurt anyone with her statement. hrmjustin Jun 2017 #91
Maybe get out more. Talk to people who have lost limbs/loved ones, etc. AtheistCrusader Jun 2017 #92
For your information I have. hrmjustin Jun 2017 #93
Uh-huh. AtheistCrusader Jun 2017 #95
Yes your lack of concern for her shows. hrmjustin Jun 2017 #97
Ok, that's one data point. AtheistCrusader Jun 2017 #98
We never said to them it was God's plan. hrmjustin Jun 2017 #99
If someone did, and it upset them, how would you feel? AtheistCrusader Jun 2017 #100
if it upset them I would have said something. hrmjustin Jun 2017 #102
*people's faith Lordquinton Jun 2017 #71
I'm an atheist and I would never mock her for her belief. femmedem Jun 2017 #94
. hrmjustin Jun 2017 #96
*her belief Lordquinton Jun 2017 #68
I see not one bit of sympathy. hrmjustin Jun 2017 #69
Ok Lordquinton Jun 2017 #70
Am I entitled to give my opinion or do I need to get your permission? hrmjustin Jun 2017 #72
You're the one attacking people for giving theirs Lordquinton Jun 2017 #73
No I spoke up for the defense of this victim. hrmjustin Jun 2017 #74
Nah Lordquinton Jun 2017 #75
Yeah how dare I have a different opinion than you. hrmjustin Jun 2017 #77
What do you want me to say? That my hopes and feels are with her? AtheistCrusader Jun 2017 #80
Honestly I knew what you and others would post in this thread. hrmjustin Jun 2017 #82
So, then on some level, you DO understand the impact her message will have on others. AtheistCrusader Jun 2017 #83
No. I knew what you and others would say. hrmjustin Jun 2017 #85
Same response. AtheistCrusader Jun 2017 #87
ok. hrmjustin Jun 2017 #89
It is different from yours, perhaps. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist. AtheistCrusader Jun 2017 #24
Yeah and most people would see her as a woman happy and thankful to be alive. hrmjustin Jun 2017 #25
I'm sorry, but I heard what she actually said. And my empathy circuit insists that the message AtheistCrusader Jun 2017 #58
If anyone is offended by this they need to readjust their outrage meter. hrmjustin Jun 2017 #64
Very compassionate of you. What empathy. What an example for others. AtheistCrusader Jun 2017 #65
You know edhopper Jun 2017 #19
Yeah well my view is to leave a woman who lost a limb alone. hrmjustin Jun 2017 #21
Do you think she is reading this? edhopper Jun 2017 #40
I don't know. hrmjustin Jun 2017 #41
How are we not leaving her alone? edhopper Jun 2017 #42
Ed please point me to the area where I said you could not give your opinion? hrmjustin Jun 2017 #43
How exactly are we suppose to edhopper Jun 2017 #44
Nice try but I said my view is to leave her alone. hrmjustin Jun 2017 #45
come on edhopper Jun 2017 #48
No ed I have criticised people here who have decided to mock a woman who lost her arm and is relying hrmjustin Jun 2017 #49

call Amnesty International right freaking now! hrmjustin Jun 2017 #51
My! edhopper Jun 2017 #57
Your bias is showing. AtheistCrusader Jun 2017 #62
Everyone has, because this isn't a woman who lost a limb. AtheistCrusader Jun 2017 #63
Whenever I hear people defend religion I remind them of things like this: bitterross Jun 2017 #46
Yeah well this woman is not Chris Christie. hrmjustin Jun 2017 #47
No, She's Worse than Christie bitterross Jun 2017 #56
I think she must still be in shock. And she hasn't gone back to her normal Ilsa Jun 2017 #27
Exactly! Life is never going to be the same for her. hrmjustin Jun 2017 #30
Insurance enid602 Jun 2017 #37
Yes it looks like they will do that. hrmjustin Jun 2017 #38

Miracles. Freedom AND a snack. AtheistCrusader Jun 2017 #11
That's a new one for me. Thanks! NT Ilsa Jun 2017 #28
