  Follow up: the baby did not survive

  it was always a long shot anyway.

  but, after a week of emotional pain for the mom, and extreme physical pain for a helpless infant, the baby's body finally succumbed.. all those prayers from the parents, from family, from friends, were absolutely worthless.

  that is a deity for ya!

  Steel-Okay. I will wait until one of my family members passes away before I express an opinion. Thanks for setting me straight.

  I think I need to make something clear: This happened to a woman at my old hall, no relation to my family. She had been posting updates all week long on Facebook, and actually posting updates on her condition through her pregnancy. My posting was just observation of the ridiculousness of the belief in "the power of prayer" and in religious beliefs in general.
  
  In a matter of great timing, Betty Bowers (America's Greatest Christian (tm) ) just posted a video this week that pretty much sums it all up!

  Doctors visit for postrate

  my friend related to me that when he went for a check up at the doctors he was advised to get his prostate checked at first he baulked at that prospect thinking no man is going to put his finger up where the sun dont shine,.

  his doctor reasoned with him that it is better for him to find out if something is wrong early because it can be dealt with a good chance of recovery however leave it too late and it can be fatal.. my friend being convinced agrees to the examination .. doctor : drop your dacks get up on the examination table and assume the position where i can examine you.. my friend : turns his head round to the doctor and asks doc why are you using two fingers ?.

  the doctor replies ,i want to get a second opinion ..

  The exam is a cakewalk compared to a prostate biopsy. I had one of those last year. After that, I can reason that there is damn little else that can be done to me that can equate with that. Not even the colonoscopy that I had this year even compared (and at least for that, they knocked me out; I was wide awake for the biopsy!)
  
  But, you know what is worse than a prostate exam? Unchecked, untreated things like prostate cancer! You can take at thing like being able to urinate for granted, until the day that you can't.

  All those prayers from the parents, from family, from friends, were absolutely worthless. That is a deity for ya! Takes all the credit if things work out well, but none of the blame for when it doesn't. May as well been writing letters to Santa Claus for all the good it did.

  So, life is SO SACRED that even a very high risk pregnancy should not be terminated by the mother, but, instead, should be allowed to develop to a point where the mother is in severe physical distress, and the baby has a physical condition that pretty much guarantees a very short life of intense pain and suffering, and then almost certain death. That's some joker of a god you got there...

  And now I have to sit there and read "One day, very soon, you will hold that baby in Paradise, blah blah blah". Excuse me while I vomit.

  I just don't have the lies to give...

  a friend of mine (a jw) delivered a premature baby, and the outlook is grim.. she is posting updates on facebook, and where everyone else is offering prayers for them both, and how "jehovah loves them both very much", and i got...nothing.

  nothing that would be comforting.

  big man in the sky has zero to do with this, only medical science and chance will have any bearing on this.i wish i could lie convincingly to her and to myself and have something nice to say.

  So, I watched "The Founder" today, and had a minor Revelation

  in the movie's story, ray kroc, the man who is in charge of franchising mcdonalds restaurants, is finding himself in a situation where he is doing gangbusters at creating the stores, but is going broke on his contract.

  he gets help from another fast food executive who examines his books.one aspect of the business jumps out.

  the stores need land to operate on, and that money is going to the land-owners who lease the land to the stores.
