I understand your point, but if there is no way to know her fate
why throw it into the faces of those that loved her? They are here
and your words may carry the day while both you and them are
here. Do you think you will ever be well recieved after you say
something like that to someone who just had a loved one die?

Okay, no I'm not. I'm speaking about the situation to people here who have no connection to the issue at hand.

for the same reasons I have pointed out before, I'll take your word
for it that you wouldn't say what you said here to them. I will also
remind you that here there are people who have lost loved ones as
I have shared. Your words will be taken to heart by them the way
you would not want your friends family to hear them. Just be mindful,
it is all I'm asking. I wish you well.

Okay, geezus, sorry.
I was probably wrong to post this quick story in a forum where people don't share beliefs. I now understand that it would find a better place in any Christian forum, where people can see it from the same perspective.
The message I was trying to put across was for believers and there just don't seem to be that many here recieving. I'll be much more careful before throwing my words into the lion's den that we call the Spirituality Forum.

Originally posted by CoconutNo you were not wrong to post the story here, You were wrong to arrogantly condemn a fellow human go glibly to a firey pit of hell. You are wrong to think like that while you have a plank in your eye. You deserve to be poked with sticks by half human half fish creatures.
Okay, geezus, sorry.

Originally posted by CoconutNotice KellyJay is a believer. He's not a judgemental bastard though. Perhaps you'll find more of them on this Christian forum.

This is a spirituality forum on a chess site. By and large, chess enthusiasts tend to be analytical thinkers. Stands to reason that you'll find a few heathens and non-believers about. Enjoy!
