    my best friend's one-year-old daughter died, and people have said the most absolutely ridonculous things to her that one could imagine.

    Example (in a sympathy card): You are lucky that God chose your child to be an angel (this, along with an Xmas photo of the writer's very-much-alive children).

    Another (religious) friend told her: "Don't you see? You don't have to worry anymore about Sophia catching a cold or getting hurt; she's safe with God now."

    @mustardpony: Oh my god that is terrible. Particularly the xmas card offender. Here is what I have learned:Lots of people think they are kind and wonderful and sensitive when really they are the most cruel, passive aggressive sadists on the planet. ( Many of these people have reproduced and looove to scrapbook.)

    That's all pretty horrible stuff.


    There are certain people in this world who get dealt a bigger lot of crap than they, or most anyone, deserves. And others who skate by without a scratch getting a lot less than they appear to deserve.


    It's this kind of thing that turned me into an atheist. If there is a god, it's not anyone I really want to speak to when this kind of thing goes on.


    So, religious people, please fucking spare me those "divine plan" explanations for abhorrent, crazy crap like this. Any Supreme Being who includes shit like this in a "plan" is insane and I would just prefer to keep hissing when people bring up its possible existence. If it does exist and I met it, I would punch it square in the face.

    Every so often I find myself talking with these nutbags who say that when a plane crash kills 200 people or when a schoolbus falls off a bridge, it was because god "needed" them. ..so he's going to put hundreds of families through lifelong trauma and sadness so a bunch of seven year olds can help him, um... mow the cloudy lawn or something..

    @lobstr: A high-school alumna of mine's first husband was a closeted gay who ended up dying of AIDS after they divorced. She and her kids with him tested negative. She is now born again and says God saved her and her kids.


    I'd love to argue, oh, so God is deliberately killing all those hundreds, thousands of poor AIDS orphans in Africa? But I don't argue. It would be a waste of my breath.

    Sports really is the final frontier in acceptance of homosexuality. The notion

    that there are no gay people in sports is absurd and no man has ever come

    out while still playing. I have sympathy for the guys who must be

    so far in the closet and hope that someday the world will be a more

    tolerant place for them.


    Whoever ends up being the first one, that's going

    to be a circus.

    @Colander: Whatever the fan reacation, I think there would be a real problem in the locker room with the other players. I remember when Kordell Stuart started playing lousy for the Steelers, people started circulating vicious gay rumors about him (which I have no idea if they were true or not), so even if fans initially supported a gay athelete, I would not want to see the reaction when that person stopped being awesome.
