From: Carol T on 21 Dec 2006 13:13 Dear Cutelittlecalico, >>>>>>>> I feel like hell tonight, and come here for a bit of support, not to suffer the likes of you 'sharing' YOUR sad beliefs on a grief recovery site. You should be ashamed of yourself.<<<<<<<<< There is no shame for anyone in knowing Jesus, He is the greatest support of all. He is the greatest gift of all time. I am sorry that you feel as you do. May you find the way out of this feeling soon. "Our hearts ache, but we always have joy. We are poor, but we give spiritual riches to others. We own nothing, and yet we have everything." NLT (2Cr 6:10) God Bless Carol T "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." Isa 9:6
From: Calico on 23 Dec 2006 06:57 No, she's in the right group as it gives me the opportunity to tell her that god and jesus are lower than child rapists. Poor thick, misguided Carol T. You have my deepest sympathy!

Sometimes we get our weird psychotics [some of whom show up periodically over the years, what's with that?], or the vicious attackers, or even truly good-hearted people who are carried by their enthusiasm to dipping into trollness or spamness or disproportionate-response-ness or wrong-group-ness. I have copied below a snippet from the alt.support.grief FAQ. It doesn't say anything about the contents (or lack of contents) of anyone's personal religion-bag. I tend to think that whether or not religion is your bag, or whatever you may have in your particular bag, it's all okay. We drag the grief part of us in here -- the rest of us has to come along for the ride. We've had our share of fights. Sometimes friends do that. But the "g(G)od thing" issue has been pretty self-regulating, as far as I can see, at least since I landed here six-and-a-half years ago. I have my losses. I hurt. I know I find it hardest to utilize my leet social skillz (Miss Manners, anyone?) when I'm in pain. So I cut myself some slack.
