Unbelievable?
No doubt Billium appreciates Dahan's self-assured, smug, certainty regarding the metaphysical actuality of the world, and Jaguarphd's cold and inhumane reflections on the logistics behind the circumstances.
Dahan - do you think anyone is interested in the casual addition that you, out there, don't believe in prayer? How quaint. It's positively splendid that you expressed that on the internets, even moreso in Billium's thread. How positively enlightened of you.
Jaguarphd - clever boy with so many thoughts in your mind, eh? If only those thoughts also arose "Gosh, why would I imagine myself so uncouth as to express these disturbing reflections in Mr. Billium's thread at a time like this?" or "...who the hell picks a person's upsetting thread to impress everyone with how clever they might be?"
Time and place, both of you. Have some class, respect, and all the rest of the things this context might necessitate.
Dahan, feel free to wage a war against prayer in the Open Discussion forums.
Jaguarphd, feel free to speculate on people's suicide methods... elsewhere.
Goodness gracious, people seem to forget themselves...
Billium - this is an awful occurence... I'm sure there is much more to the story. I hope your father recovers, and the darkness with which he's dealing can be resolved - that this terrible circumstance might open up lines of communication that could be curative.
I will pray 4 you as well, but if the worst happens, then you will have 2 accept that him upstairs meant it 2 be like that: good luck.
couldn't have put it better than Rael. your dad and your family will be in my prayers.
Billium, I wish you all the best.
I believe this quote from Rael is the most valuable thing to have been written to you in this thread thus far. It would be easy to be distracted by joy and thanking god after a recovery; but please realise how important it is to communicate in a manner that was not possible earlier.
"God help me to change the things I can, accept the things I can't change, and the wisdom to know the difference."
I have prayed for him, spend time with him and tell him that you love him
Please know that I will join all those who are praying for you and your father.
I pray that he becomes well.
Best wishes...
...to you, your father and your whole family.
I believe prayer accomplishes nothing. All the same I hope you find comfort in whatever you can.
I am sure,he will recover very soon & start with a new life full of +ve thoughts & love!
BTW i suggest you to visit www.reiki.org so that a distant healing energy can be sent to him by a larger group of people!
It was legitament questions. I wasn't trying to be mean or anything.
we are praying i hope tomorrow you will say good news
As far as I know "him upstairs" declared it to be "illegal" to commit or attempt suicide."
Assuming the pray thing you speak of is Christianity.
I wish all could get better,no matter how much time it'll need,keep strong and face the reality,and ,quite important ,don't jump out from the train of your days.
chess players are the most perfect defintion of friend.
i'm sorry to hear that... have trust in god ....no matter what happens.... and pray from heart as I will too
that is sad
Well, I don't know your dad and don't believe in God so a prayer from me won't do much. I do hope however that your dad gets better and gets the help he needs. Many people that have major heart surgery have issues with depression in the years that follow. I had major open heart surgery myself 5 years ago so know how hard it can be to live with a heart condition.
Sorry to hear that... I hope everything goes well
