Pantophobia Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I'm with kolaida. I just can't even begin to process that kind of judgmental thinking. If that is the choice those parents made, then that was THEIR choice. But to insist that EVERYONE make the same choice is ghastly and inhumane.

Thought2Much Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Tragic birth defects were just one more thing that led me away from believing there is a benevolent god of any kind. Only a horrible monster or an uncaring, unfeeling, natural world would allow things like that to happen. I console myself in believing that the latter must be true, because I couldn't face the possibility of the former being reality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilith666 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 If that's Juliana Wetmore, that's exactly what happened. She's the worst case of Treacher-Collins in history--born lacking about half the bones in her skull--and here's the cosmic horror, here's the Lovecraftian ghastliness in all its dark madness: She's not brain damaged. Oh no. Whatever deity did this to her also saw fit to give her a fully-functional brain to go with that body. She's perfectly capable of seeing and noting her deformity; perfectly capable of understanding and comprehending the horror of her existence. Oh, I'm sure she gives thanks every single goddamned day for her life, every year after her 20-30 operations, every million dollars her parents get charged for her care (by the age of about 3 she'd racked up some $3MILLION--think her parents will be paying that?). And some fucking FUNDIE, some completely oblivious bubble-living ASSHOLE, decided to exploit her for a soulless political agenda and make points with a bunch of other chirpy fundies. ANY LIFE IS GOOD LIFE, huh? Fine, fundies. You fuckin' try it. I've got no way to process cruelty like this. That kid will never be Miss America because of the way she looks. It's bad enough that happened to her, but messages are already being thrown at her that the ideal woman is beautiful. Sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midniterider Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Today's find on FB: <bullshit> Dad comes home drunk and mad, he pulls out a gun and shoots hiswife and turns the gun to himself and pulls the trigger. The littlegirls sits behind a couch crying. The police came and took the littlegirl to a new family, and she went to her first Sunday school atchurch. She walks past the building and sees a picture of Jesuson the cross. The little girl then asks the teacher, "How did thatman get off the cross?" The teacher replied, "He never did." Thenthe little girl argued "Yes, he did. Because the night my mommyand daddy died he sat next to me behind the couch, telling meeverything was going to be alright." 66% of you won't post this,but remember what the bible says,"Deny me in front of your friendsand I shall deny you in front of my father." So re-post this, remembergod saw you read this. </end of bullshit> So Jesus let this drunk destroy a family. Score one for Jesus! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus: I'm sorry but that isn't what I do. Little Girl: Jesus bring Mommy back to life! Please! Jesus: I not going to violate your daddy's free will. Little Girl: Please Jesus make it stop! Make it all better! Jesus: Nah, a lifetime of therapy will give you character. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest r3alchild Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I saw this one today in my news feed from a good friend... A little girl wanted to know what the United States looked like. Her Dad tore a map of the USA from a magazine and then cut it into small pieces. He told her to go to her room to see if she could put it together. After some minutes she returned and handed the map correctly fitted and taped together. The Dad was surprised and asked how she had finished so quickly. She said, "On the other side was a picture of Jesus and when I put him back then our country just came together." That also made me sick, I didnt even really get it but it made me feel like I want to...... go nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm most unimpressed that a Sunday School teacher said Jesus never got off the cross. I guess the teacher meant that Jesus didn't get off the cross; he died on it, and then was taken down. And then the child discovers that Jesus was still alive anyway, and that's sort of the point of the story. The existence of these stories does prove a powerful point though about how all religious claims are spread. It is a lie, but it is spread by people who believe that it is true. The idea that Jesus rose from the dead probably propagated in the same way in the 0030s as this story does in the 2010s. Only difference is Paul of Tarsus didn't have a Facebook page.

Akheia Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Yes. http://www.cowboylyrics.com/lyrics/montgomery-john-michael/the-little-girl-7270.html This song is the reason I know that CDs make a kickass light show in the microwave. You can put them through Tesla coils too and wow it makes an incredible show. I've got a CD hanging on my wall in the study that got that treatment--it looks pretty cool. Lilith, it's more than her appearance here. This little girl is in pain and having a horrific existence even aside from her monstrous appearance. She can't even eat her own food but must get it through a tube. Massive amounts of surgery eventually gave her the ability to blink her own eyelids. From what I hear, she just got cheekbones and they're hopeful that sooner or later she'll get a jaw she can use. Not having bones in your head is important for a lot of everyday functions--think about it. Are you drinking a soda? She can't. Are there chips on your desk? She'll never know the fun of getting Cheetos dust on her fingers. Did you just blink? It took years for her to do that. Are you wearing earrings? Closing your mouth? Swallowing? Juliana's sadistic, egocentric parents inflicted this suffering on a child without even considering what her life would be like. It was all about them and their need to prove a point. And then the idea of Christians using such an image to score political points is simply disgusting. That kid's got it rough enough without being the poster child for forced-birthers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
