I wanted lots of pictures of him too, but you know what the difference is? I was bawling my eyes out in all of them. They're too private and special for me to plaster all over the internet.O....k? What's your point here? You don't know how much she cried. Maybe she cried all her tears during her pregnancy. Maybe she went home and cried. Being able to smile and have a few moments of happiness with your child before they die doesn't mean anything, nor is your way of grieving any "better".
Quote:Not how dare she be religious and post pictures. How dare she express a repulsive thought such as her invisible sky father USED her son as a tool to bring people closer to him... and be happy about it. That's one sick fucking bitch.??? Again, you are very fast to judge her....because....she says that her son's life may serve a greater purpose. Its fine if you disagree, but trying to say she is "sick" or a "bitch" for viewing her son's brief life in the most positive of possible ways says more about you than it does about her.
Quote:As of March 27th they were STILL having benefit concerts for "the family who chose life". How is that not exploitation? The few women I've met in the same situation chose to terminate their pregnancy, but that doesn't make them bad people. We all have to make our own choices. I suppose they could've done the same as Heather, but I totally understand why they didn't. She certainly not better than any of them, and her smiling face in those photos proves it.This "STILL" thing might be meaningful if I knew when the child died, how many concerts they had total, what the proceeds went towards, how much money they raised with the first "concerts". And again with the fact that she is smiling in a picture making her a terrible person? You want to dislike that woman, don't you?
And while abortions cost money, they don't cost half as much as actually....you know...giving birth.
Quote:I suppose you're talking about your pagan goddess, Mary? LOL Talk about exploitation. If my grandmother got all the money back that she's spent on weird little statuettes of Mary holding the soon to be zombified corpse of jesus... she could probably buy a condo in Florida."Pagan goddess" I think is stretching the definition of "pagan", not to even mention "goddess". But yes, the Mother of all Christians, the Blessed Virgin Mary, who watched her own son suffer and die. I don't think drawing inspiration and strength from another person is "exploiting" them at all. As a Christian, we believe that is what Our Lady wants us to do
Nobody has capitalizes on tragedy like religious institutions. I'm guessing that's where Heather learned to do it.
Mary Immaculate, star of the morning
Chosen before the creation began
Chosen to bring for your bridal adorning
Woe to the serpent and rescue to man.
Sinners, we honor your sinless perfection;
Fallen and weak, for your pity we plead;
Grand us the shield of your sovereign protection,
Measure your aid by the depth of our need.
Bend from your throne at the voice of our crying,
Bend to this earth which your footsteps have trod;
Stretch out your arms to us, living and dying,
Mary Immaculate, Mother of God.
