Aren't you an American too? 15 minutes from Mexico and supporting Jill Stein... Unless you're from Guatemala or Belize, but that doesn't explain the Jill Stein support.

The crucifix healed your wife and then it took your leg. Let's just call it even, ok?

Wow, you are really REALLY reaching for an insult aren't you.

First of all, Min didn't wish death on anyone, he was talking about the man who lost a leg.

Secondly, your insult of Americans is absolutely preposterous as it is both a non sequitur and a heavily biased opinion.


Your entire statement is just a glaring FAIL.

He wished the thing to drop on the guy's head...something that would crush a leg would also do the same to the guy's head.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

The first thing I have to say is OUCH. I'm really sorry for the guy, and I hope if the cross was faulty for whatever reason and someone hasn't done his job in keeping it steady, then this someone is going to pay the poor guy for what the cross did to him.

The man who lost his leg really didn't deserve it. I don't think that anyone deserve to lose a leg, for any reason. This is a personal tragedy first and foremost.

But yes, when you think about it from a philosophical point of view, the news is (mildly) interesting, because it proves that praying does not mean that you're safe from the real world.

Well I believe no one should wish death on someone. But since you're American, maybe you guys think differently or something.


Oh so if you were living during the inquisition you'd have been rooting for the heretics?

Liar.

Yes. My faith was heretical during the Spanish Inquisition.

You remind me of the Republicans.
