Nothing scares an athiest more than when they’re facing the end, and have nothing to cling to.

That kind of follows Peter’s Principle of Politics #103: “There are no athiests during an orgasm.”

Sorry, couldn’t resist.

The correct action depends on the individual: as others said above, some people would prefer to be a criminal, and some people would prefer to be dead. An enlightened society would allow an option where one could be neither.

I really don’t know how people who have no faith in a higher power get through a disaster with their sanity intact.

These things happen. I’m not sure what is so unbelievable about a disaster that would make it impossible to get through for someone who isn’t religious. I’m not saying religious people don’t cope better, but I have no idea.

Nothing scares an athiest more than when they’re facing the end, and have nothing to cling to.

When it comes to being shot in the back, the phrase “Better Judged by 12 than carried by 6″ comes to mind.

I know nothing about either of the victims other than what was reported, but I do have to wonder, if either had been legally carrying a concealed weapon, could the confrontation have ended differently?

Of course, that’s still only a piece of the problem. Here on my side of the river, even while possessing a firearm (which requires a permit effectively unobtainable by the common citizen without high level political connections), someone finding themselves in Mr. Carson’s position would still have a legal obligation to run away (and be shot in the back).

My condolences and sympathy to those hurt by the loss of Marc Carson. This should not have happened, and we are all diminished by it.

Finally: If he does admit it, will he then kill himself? In other words, does he have a death wish?

One said, “I don’t want to live in a world where you have to be concerned with defending yourself.”

“Those who sacrifice liberty** for security deserve neither, and will lose both.”

(**Or its flip side: personal responsibility.)

Obamacare patient: I’m suffering from chest pains and my headache that won’t go away.

Obamacare agent: Oh, our records show you attended a reading of the Constitution and once expressed disgust at Goverment spending in a letter to the editor.

Obamacare patient: So? What about my health problems.

Obamacare agent: Care is denied to domestic terrorists. You know, you aren’t looking very well. Are your affairs in order?

Or is there some pecking order amongst the victim groups?
Do gays trump Hispanics, the way ‘kings’ trump ‘jacks’ in cards?
Or is it the other way around?
Or, just maybe, gays and Hispanics are both ’9s’, but of different suits.

File under: things that make you go ‘hmmmm’.
Or: things that make leftist heads go ‘boooooom’.

One said, “I don’t want to live in a world where you have to be concerned with defending yourself.”

So your friend makes a willful choice to be a) a sitting duck, b) a stationary target, c) a fish in a barrel, d) a sheep amidst wolves or e) all of the above.

That’s pathetic. But it explains a lot of the mentality that’s sinking this country.

Suggest to your friend that he was placed on the wrong planet; the world he’s looking for doesn’t exist here (and most likely doesn’t exist anywhere else, either).

I’d say she was in pretty good spirits considering the circumstances. Oh, but hey, Eddie, people with faith cope better, right? She *MUST* be the exception. Right, Eddie?
