You are not God, kiddo. You will someday reach the end. You get no sympathy either, you nasty partisan old fart.
What happened to your insistance that people who don't want or need sympathy or compassion at the point of death should receive it anyway?
How do you justify your denying sympathy at the time of death and name calling, and still consider yourself (as you have claimed) a Christian?
Learn the difference in the terms "compassion", "empathy" and "sympathy". I will have as much "sympathy" for Geddon as it does for a dying Kennedy. You are hardly one to get preachy about any of the above mentioned terms. Being a Christian does not indicate perfection sweetie. We all have our moments. Go clean your gun.
Moi? Preachy? Not hardly. I just recognize the hypocrit in you. Christians (as you claim you are) are taught in scripture to lead by example. It is not yours to decide or determine how much sympathy or compassion to give, that determination belongs to God.
My guns (actually quite a large plural, not the singular "gun") are always clean...they're cleaned after every use, after any carry during inclement weather, and once a month.
Go clean your mouth.
Every human is capable of compassion, sympathy and empathy among many others of Gods gifts. Those qualities do not just belong to God ( I urge you NOT to try and speak for him). In fact we are all capable of them. It is most certainly within my lowly human condition to decide how much of each of these qualities to parcel out and to whom. If I were you I would stick to what you know best and try not to pontificate upon issues about which you know little. Stick to your guns and your hardness. Clearly it works for you - or at least you are convinced it does. I believe also that members of the military are also taught to "lead by example". In fact I think all branches of the military and law enforcement follow such a code. Having said that, I must point out that to "lead by example" is an ideal, not necessarily mandatory. Christians, like members of the armed forces, civilian law enforcement among others who are encouraged to live exemplary lives are simply humans. While I am a Christian, I am far from perfect and I certainly have my faults. Laking in compassion is not one of them. Your arrogance and ignorance is showing.
Now, I have a suggestion for YOUR mouth - shut it.
The most accurate part of your little diatribe is that you are far from perfect and certainly have faults. They are quite evident here. They show through in your hate filled posts.
I intend to not even consider your suggestion. Within the T/D guidelines, I intend to post as I see fit. Don't like it? I don't care.
As for the definitions, I'm fully aware of their meaning. Perhaps you should try practicing some of their meanings, instead of just ranting about them. And you should know that "leading by example" is more than an "ideal". I've known of military and law enforcement personnel who have received disciplinary action for failure to do so, up to and including dismissal from service, and church members who have been ostracised and disfellowshiped for failure to lead by example.
Your lack of experience and ignorance is showing.
