So, while we're disagreeing, consider your 'concerns' about how we are treating the person, dismissed.

I'm not concerned about the person in the OP, only the message she's radiating.

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

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

if that was all she did edhopper Jun 2017 #50

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

There's just as much evidence that Donald Trump helped spare her life. trotsky Jun 2017 #8

Miracles. Freedom AND a snack. AtheistCrusader Jun 2017 #11

That's a new one for me. Thanks! NT Ilsa Jun 2017 #28
