Are they praying for all the Woodside patients or just Mrs. Schiavo?

Just curious--every patient is facing the same outcome.

Of course, this is a purely rheotorical question, but this is a truly a case as "none so blind as those who will not see."

Sheesh. :eyes:

And despicable for bothering the other hospice residents in their last days of life. Truly a "pro-life" attitude.

thrives on the high of religious ecstacy--deriving either from self-mortification or feeding off of the stimulation of another's experience of the ecstatic. These people have been with us throughout history. Some ancient cults, like the Dyonisian cults, allowed for people to vent this overcharged religious fervor in rituals. The Catholic church sought to contain this by only giving certain people the status of sainthood and to achieve sainthood, your experience of unbridled spiritual excess had to meet certain stringent criteria. It also channeled the energy of religious ecstacy into wars which consolidated the churches wealth and power. Today, we have a group of smarmy, greedy charlatans who have found a way to market this and have turned such states into a pedestrian commodity. Because there are so many of them, there is no structure to the way they wield the power such people bring as a part of their following.

If they are sincere in their beliefs, they should be praying for everyone. They should also be worried about the additional stress that they are causing the family members and the other patients. I would much rather see them protest outside a federal courthouse or the governor's mansion.

is before it was known she was a Catholic I didn't hear much hoobla from them as in the protesting. Sure people were for "saving" her but now this is out of control. :crazy: I wonder if they'd still be doing this if she was pagan or Jewish?

to only send healing rays to Terri, and to avoid the AIDS patients dying in the hospice.
Can you imagine believing in a "gawd" that dispenses healing like robot laser beams to only the select chosen few?
I try to think like them sometimes but it makes my head hurt, I can't even get there.

Wouldn't you think so? By the way people have been going on and on about her....from her husband, her parents, her siblings, religious people.....all the way to Florida Governor, Judges, more Judges, Senate, Congress, President of the US, even Pope in Italy! Not to mention Mel Gibson!! I saw Terri on BCC last night (BCC is England's "CNN") Terri is an extraordinary woman because she caused all of these by doing nothing though no fault of hers so it's amazing. She was beautiful before her tragic accident and today, she's still lovely even in her PVS and endearing, too. It's very very very sad so I really can't fault her parents and I can't fault Michael Schiavo, neither....both of them are doing that they think is best for Terri, even best for themselves. Parents losing a child is something that's very hard to accept. Very hard for Terri's siblings as well.. All the best to Terri's family and Michael.

They could've done all of this in a private matter. But no. They caused this. Not Michael Schavio. Not the judges. They did. They could've told Tom DeLay and Bill Frist to "butt out" but they didn't. They have this false reality that she will one day "get better." This is all their fault. Blame is soely on them.

The parents are desperate trying to save their daughter...right or wrong. I fault the Media much more for getting too much attention
