[PLUG-TALK] Terry vs John Paul II

[Russ Johnson]

Here's some other things to think about.

The Pope died today. On Thursday, they administered the last rites, for 
the third time in his life. They knew his time was near. John Paul 
stated that he did not want any further life support measures taken.

When Terry was on life support, her husband told the world that Terry 
did not want to have her life artificially supported. We have no reason 
to doubt the words of her husband.

Why is this different?

Another thing. You state that you must protect life, at all costs. 
Didn't the Pope fail to do that? Doesn't using life support in the first 
place keep a faithful person from ascending to heaven? What if God 
wanted to take you, but life support was keeping you stuck here on earth?

Why do religious people scare the hell out of children by telling them 
that God will someday take them to heaven, away from their parents and 
friends? If you don't think that's true, I have some kids I'd like to 
introduce to you.
