Savannahs dog ate her cat. That touched me
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
Quote:Some people deserve hell.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

a) To say nothing of what it did for the cat.
b) At least it did not die in vain.
c) Thank gawd she didn't have rabbits.
d) She should have taught it the "don't eat family members" command.

Possibly, but I was thinking his father especially because of this.
True.
...but even disregarding that, the statement is utterly absurd. Even the greatest fathers in the world are flawed, let alone the billions of douchebags that couldn't care less about their offspring. The entire video is a stupid, pointless, pandering trip into emotional melodrama that serves no purpose. For that matter, what the fuck difference does it make that the father is deaf??? Is it any more valid that a deaf man would offer his blood for his dying child than a man who can hear??? Can a deaf man love more? What the fuck is the video trying to say??? Someone tell the creator/director, "ummm, yeah we know you dipshit ... fathers love their kids, even deaf ones."
The quote, the video, the footage, the theme, the whole damn thing is just an epic fail.

Several things:
Music: Fade to Black by Metallica, that song put me in a place that is hard to get out of. Also, One by Metallica. Some of my best poetry come out of those moments. Also, depending on my mood, the song Adagio for Strings can get to me.
Movies: Platoon, The Pianist, and Mystic River are a few of the movies that obliterate my thoughts of happiness.
