Why Is The Religious Right So Afraid of Death? [View All]

I don't want to politicize this entire Terri Schiavo case. Lord knows that the Republicans have done a good enough job of that, but I wonder about the faith of people that don't see this as a good thing for this poor woman.

Is their faith so shallow that they don't really believe that Terry will be in a far better place when this is all over? If God is a truly compassionate and loving God, then why all the uproar about putting this girl in God's hand?

When my father was on his death bed, my families faith was such a comfort to us. We were saddened by his loss, but comforted in the faith that his suffering was ending, and he would be in a better place.

My faith is an extremely personal thing. I don't want to impose it on anyone, but for me, my faith in God was a great comfort to me as my dad was slipping away.

I just don't get why these "so-called" people of faith, seem to have so little of it.

If Dems want to start making a valid response to this entire fiasco, I strongly suggest that they attack the issue this way. Frame it as a woman whose suffering is ending, and will be at peace with her maker soon. Who in their right mind can argue with that. I mean, who do I put my faith in? God, or the Republican Party? I think I'll pick the Big Guy.
