One of the many stages of grief for the fishers of men.
I don't get it. It's not like you have to be an atheist to understand how absurd and offensive a scenario is created by making the claims or asking the questions that caused this thread. It's not something a person ought to do in a church, either. It seems to me like there's a shared understanding and a rational expectation of effects that...somehow..just turns off when evangelists decide to join this board.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Why is it that criticue is so threatening to you and your beliefs? Do you need to shield them? If so, why and from what do you need to shield them?
Beliefs that cannot suffer scrutiny are most likely not worth holding.

Pretty deep question..but yeah, I'm sure of it. There's no one with a genuine belief in christ that isn't in a very deep well of grief. To put a fine point on it, beyond just the theological and philosophic considerations...people who report visions of christ are often under extreme duress. They are not particularly wealthy. They are not in great situations. Christ is a savior god, after all.

if you think someone is genuinely that bad off (in my case - i dont think you really believe that) - then help, or do something useful.

I'm not a psychologist, the forums aren't therapy. To be honest, I don't know how I could possibly help you. I can only point out where your misperceptions run afoul of mere reality. The rest is between you and your god. Ostensibly, religious faiths can help to deal with grief. I'm confident you'll get there even if you take a long and circuitous route.
