There was actually a 6 or 8-part TV series about 3 years ago that did that theme to perfection....the horror!. Cannot remember it's name now, but a pile of mammoth carcasses defrosted & the viruses released made people go homicidal.

Do you think that " I have found god" should mean the same as "A get out of Gaol/Jail free" card.

Gwendolyn2018 comments on Dec 10, 2019:

There is absolutely no reason why "finding god" should get someone out of a jail/prison sentence. Let god sort it out when the person is dead. However, when people find god on their deathbed or when they are old and facing death could be construed by them as a "get out of hell, I'm going to ...

@Tolerant1 the question was, does a murderer/pedophile/rapist get to walk if they claim they found gawd? And you attack a perfectly reasonable response as "disgusting & immoral"? Let them go live next door to your grandchildren I guess?

@racocn8 if you feed/healed them all, the population could easily Quadruple or more in a generation..... not desirable, and a damned harsh fact, but sadly true.

You deserve better than this. You can do better than this. I know how hard it is to find someone who deserves you - I haven't been able to. The world is lonely and cold without intimacy or warmth. Even a tormentor seems better sometimes. It makes it harder to find someone else when you're dealing...

A tormentors, or "ignorer" is Not better !!! There is no loneliness like the loneliness you feel deep inside when you are being used! "Alone" is Far preferable!

@Lillyfield41 why are you ignoring that he didn't call from the hospital when he easily could, and just focus on the parents house thingy? and that he just let you worry? Seems you are an ostrich with head in the sand, sorry.

@Lillyfield41 he could Easily have called from the hospital!! Any nurse would let him use their phone to "inform" someone! Has been done for me Twice in the last year! Once from ER, once from my hospital room...bioth times my cell wasn't charged. They even took it away & brought it back charged! What a Load of Crap! "Woods with no cell service" was what my ex said when he was in fact motel-ing it with his latest. And, did he tell you he was going to the woods Beforehand, or was it a mumbled after-the-fact excuse? Wake up & smell the coffee, girl! LYING LOSER!
