Surrounded by the religious media circus that won't let him forget how "blessed" he is???
People like me would not do that.
People like you maybe, can be that cruel Watson
You're right, KichigaiNeko. We should just spend his whole life telling him how fucked up he and his life should be after seeing and experiencing what he lived through. We should spend his life telling him how suicidal and depressed he should be, and further, we should expect him to be that way instead of hoping that he wont be.
I guess that is the REAL difference between you and me Watson...I won't just hope (that some big Daddy in the sky comes to my rescue) The boy gets my sympathy that he is still alive and I have no illusions as to the therapy and medical treatments he is going to have to go through so that anyone who is his carer is going to go to the media and push this miracle kids for all the $$$ they can get and the kid will still have nothing at the end of it but scars...see this sort of 'christian' behaviour too often for it not to be considered the norm.

I'm glad that the boy survived, and I have no desire to pin it on God or declare it some sort of miracle. It is just miraculous at the very least, and it's amazing that he survived. And now, like Paul said and because I don't want to be up on my soap box, I will walk away from this.
It was no miracle...certainly amazing and thank you for your thoughts on this matter.
Don't let me detain you.
