Fuck every line of this post. I love you brewer, and I hope you didn't mean this how I took it, but fuck every line of this post.
I get emotional just thinking about what she is going through, losing a child she desperately wanted and feeling like a failure as a woman because she can't (as of yet) give her husband a child which is what she wanted more than anything. She expressed the (completely reasonable) feeling that she feels anger and resentment when friends and acquaintances bring up their babies. Who wouldn't? Brewer, exercise some empathy. This is a human with human feelings and human failures. Pity party? Fuck you for that. I think you know that's a bullshit thing to say, and I think you should apologize.
I have always been impressed with Catholic_Lady. The level of vitriol she let roll off her shoulders amazed me. She was a wonderful member of these forums that (I am probably breaking a rule here but fuck it) I happily voted on and nominated to be a moderator multiple times. I am disgusted that her worth is being adjudicated here without her knowledge.
ETA: I didn't read the whole thread and didn't see that C_L did in fact see the post. Apologies.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
