Sad, yes. But how mind-f*cked would he already have to be by his parents to kill him self over Christianity?

DID YOU KNOW THESE FACTS?
I SURE DIDNT TILL NOW
Death is certain but the Bible speaks about untimely death!
Make a personal reflection about this.....

It is written in the Bible (Galatians 6:7):
'Be not deceived; God is not mocked:
for whatsoever a man sow,

that shall he also reap.
Here are some men and women
who mocked God :
John Lennon (Singer):
Some years before, during his interview with an American Magazine, he
said:
'Christianity will end, it will disappear.
I do not have to argue about
that. I am certain.
Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, today we are more famous
than Him' (1966).
Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus
Christ, was shot six times.
Tancredo Neves (President of Brazil ):
During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes from
his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency.
Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made
President, then he died.
Cazuza (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer and poet):
During A show in Canecio ( Rio de Janeiro),
while smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air and
said:'God, that's for you.'
He died at the age of 32 of LUNG CANCER in a horrible manner.
The man who built the Titanic
After the construction of Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the
Titanic would be.
With an ironic tone he said:
'Not even God can sink it'
The result: I think you all know what happened to the Titanic
Marilyn Monroe (Actress)
She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show.
He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her.
After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said:
'I don't need your Jesus'.
A week later, she was found dead in her apartment
Bon Scott (Singer)
The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On one of his 1979 songs he sang:
'Don't stop me; I'm going down all the way, down the highway to hell'.

On the 19th of February 1980, Bon Scott was found dead, he had been
choked by his own vomit.
Campinas (IN 2005)
In Campinas , Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a
friend.....
The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the
drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter holding her
hand, who was already seated in the car:
'My Daughter, Go With God And May He Protect You.'
She responded: 'Only If He (God) Travels In The Trunk, Cause Inside
Here.....It's Already Full '
Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal
accident, everyone had died,
the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but
surprisingly, the trunk was intact.
The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact.
To their surprise, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, none was broken

Christine Hewitt (Jamaican Journalist and entertainer) said the Bible
(Word of God) was the worst book ever written.
In June 2006 she was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor
vehicle.
Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name
that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus.
Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still
alive.
'Jesus'
PS: If it was a joke, you would have sent it to everyone. So are you
going to have courage to send this?.
I have done my part, Jesus said
'If you are embarrassed about me,
I will also be embarrassed about you before my father.'
You are my 8 in 8 seconds. I am not breaking this. No way!
I'M TOLD THIS WORKS!!!!! Bishop T.D. Jakes '8 Second Prayer.' Just
repeat this prayer and see how God moves!!
'Lord, I love you and I need you, come into my heart, and bless me, my
family, my home, and my friends, in Jesus' name. Amen.'

Sweet zombie jesus!!!

Mena

What type of car was it? I'm always putting eggs in the boot and finding them broken, this could really get me out of a weekly spot with the wife.

This is clearly some sort of atheist sockpuppet...
The idea is so insane that I refuse to believe people like this are allowed to walk the streets.

What criteria does god choose who to kill?
People who mock him? ok... but we know lots of people that mock God.
We also know faithful Christians that still get lung cancer...

God seems to pick random things to do...
He'll help one person on the side of the road, a friend you've not seen in years happens by...
He'll kill one mocker, but not the next.
He'll heal one person, but not any amputees ever.

I really think that this sort of thing is not meant to scare people into worship but rather to make believers look more bonkers...
I have to believe that, because I don't want to believe that people are actually thinking like this.
then again... youtube comments...

I'd say he killed himself after pretty much everything that happened to him. Which just goes to show that there's a causal relationship between life and death.

Seems god took a break from healing the sick in Lourdes this year to spend some time giving pilgrims acute gastroenteritis:

http://www.eurosurveillance.org/ViewArticle.aspx?ArticleId=19025

Grimly, health officials believe that a group of workers and patients from a Dutch mental health institute visited Lourdes and brought the bug back home with them, where the disease spread rapidly leaving around 120 people sick and four dead.

Tell them god is on their side and they'll go to heaven for doing his work and you can make them do anything.

You don't really want soldiers that ask questions either. Unquestioning obedience to orders given by a man you've never met, Unquestioning faith is an ideal to many military minds.

Pilot who paused to pray in emergency gets 10 years

Tue, Mar 24, 2009
A Tunisian pilot who paused to pray instead of taking emergency measures before crash-landing his plane, killing 16 people, has been sentenced to 10 years in jail by an Italian court along with his co-pilot.
The 2005 crash at sea off Sicily left survivors swimming for their lives, some clinging to a piece of the fuselage that remained floating after the ATR turbo-prop aircraft splintered upon impact.
A fuel-gauge malfunction was partly to blame but prosecutors also said the pilot succumbed to panic, praying out loud instead of following emergency procedures and then opting to crash-land the plane instead trying to reach a nearby airport.
Another five employees of Tuninter, a subsidiary of Tunisair, were sentenced to between eight and nine years in jail by the court, in a verdict handed down yesterday.
The seven accused, who were not in court, will not spend time in jail until the appeals process has been exhausted.

Yeah I noticed this the day after it happened... poor chap... suffered from depression and then when it all fell apart for him he went out and killed some poor girl and himself...

I found this video (it's mocking him but listen to what he says, it's from last year...)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCUIEv8DlMg

I wonder if he lost his faith... and then took the whole "without God why would you not go on a killing spree..." line a little to seriously because of his depression ...

He's obviously an unwell individual as born out by his subsequent actions, I must say the video comes across as a rather petty piece of work all things considered.

Crazy people do crazy things.

Ohh THATS the guy! Damn... I've seen him before and always thought he had some mental issues. I've spoken to him in the comments section a couple of times. I do remember that he looked to the likes of Jezuzfreek and Venomfangx for guidance.

Yup. poor chap... years of depression take there toll. I agree that the video is petty (it was made long before his death...) but tony's account is closed now so I couldn't find the original that it was made from...
Clearly a very conflicted individual... in hind sight it's even more obvious.

Israeli official: Swine flu name offensive

5 hours ago

JERUSALEM (AP) — The outbreak of swine flu should be renamed "Mexican" influenza in deference to Muslim and Jewish sensitivities over pork, said an Israeli health official Monday.

Deputy Health Minister Yakov Litzman said the reference to pigs is offensive to both religions and "we should call this Mexican flu and not swine flu," he told a news conference at a hospital in central Israel.

Both Judaism and Islam consider pigs unclean and forbid the eating of pork products.

Scientists are unsure where the new swine flu virus originally emerged, though it was identifed first in the United States. They say there is nothing about the virus that makes it "Mexican" and worry such a label would be stigmatizing.

Two Israelis who recently visited Mexico have been hospitalized with symptoms of the flu. Health authorities have not yet confirmed whether they actually have the virus.

The current strain of swine flu is thought to have originated in Mexico where more than 100 people have been killed by the disease so far.

Laboratories in the U.S. and Canada have confirmed that of the samples tested so far, the swine flu virus in Mexico and U.S. appear to be the same.

Ted Haggard, the megachurch preacher who became the fastest ever ex-leader of the 30-million strong National Association of Evangelicals, showed up last weekend at Steven Furtick's megachurch to give a no-holes barred interview. In it, Haggard said that he was very ashamed that people got hurt in the scandal and that he didn't think it would ever happen again. Previously, Haggard had said that he couldn't place his sexuality into "stereotypical boxes" and that he was "content" with the missus:

http://www.christianpost.com/church/General/2009/04/megachurch-hosts-no-holds-barred-interview-with-ted-haggard-27/index.html

Furtick, meanwhile, said that Haggard's story is a "good reminder of what's at stake when you flirt with sin"(*)

(*) Rumors suggest that Haggard got past the flirting stage pretty quickly.
