Anyone else losing last vestige of religion [View All]

due to the Shiavo circus? I was raised as a Catholic. I left the Church years ago for many reasons , including their treatment of my dying father, in whom , unlike Terri, they had zero interest.
I continued to celebrate Easter however, as a tribute to my late mother. I prepared a traditional meal and had food baskets blessed. I will not be doing that this year.I am cutting the final ties. This might not seem like much to others, but it is a large sacrifice for me. But I believe my mother would approve. I cannot associate myself with the vileness surrounding these Right to Lifers hypocrisy even in a minimum manner. They are preaching insurrection against the judiciary, all in the name of a woman who cannot speak for herself.
I am so sorry for Terri, but they have already allowed the damage to take place. I am sure that this shy and somewhat insecure girl who never have wanted to be remembered this way. The pictures of her are awful. Some might not think so, but she would . The girl was a bulimic in search of beauty. The fact that they endlessly loop these awful pictures is the final insult.They have robbed her of her dignity and it can't be returned.
I disapprove of funeral viewing but would never enforce my feelings on another. I buried my parents in accordance with their wishes, though they were not my own. I was forced to view my mother and help with her makeup, though I had stated I didn't want to remember her that way. I also had to approve my Dad, as there was no one else to do it.

Terri Shiavo has had the most extended wake in history and the most viewed, in not the best of circumstances. The religious fanatics have totally usurped he free will.They have forever sullied her memory and altered the impression of the memory they she would have like to have left. Her parents are monsters.

I am making sure that only I control my final disposition.I will have no service and be cremated. The memories I leave will be unpolluted by the manipulation of others. Terri has had that right, whether one agrees with her or not, taken away from her.

If they are really Catholics, They understand the concept of "free will" and they have intercepted Terri's, and intervened in her relationship with God. They have usurped the rights of God as well as that of the state and the individual.As a Jesuit priest said yesterday, in reaction to the Vatican and the fanatics,
this is just bizarre".

I choose to believe God is watching and he will make the final decision.
