For the last 2+ weeks we've been enduring a 24/7 death watch.

First TS, now the Pope. I'm starting to feel drained. It's not like people aren't dying and being killed constantly around the world, some in the most atrocious manner imaginable. But we're not bombarded with deathbed reports about those folks. Only the freeper and media whore favorites get our attention. And before somebody decides to flame me, I have great sympathy for both the aforementioned people. But I am getting psychically stressed by all the grim attention their deaths, past and imminent, are getting. :(

4. Or more like fear of death.

I don't understand all of the praying. What are they praying for? Aren't religious folks guaranteed a place in heaven? Why would they pray for life and keep them from heaven? *sigh*. I can't grasp the concept.

6. I think they are praying for a US theocracy.

And they are pretty close to realizing that nightmare. :scared:

5. The billboard in front of a local church says:

"1 Cross + 3 nails = 4 given"

Are other religions this focused on one particular long-drawn-out death?
