Y'all I am about ready to LOSE it. After getting it just over a month ago, my mom's car was just hit by another person and not just any person, but a guy who does NOT have a license, a guy who did NOT know how to say that he is sorry for doing it, and a guy who made it as clear as glass that he does NOT care that he did anything wrong in the first place!!! Every prayer that is prayed for us will be very much appreciated.

God bless you and my mom always!!!

P.S. The good thing is that she once again walked away without a scratch. The bad thing is that this only freaks her out about driving even more after being hit THREE times two years ago in just THAT year alone.

It gets better. One of my cousins who happens to be a retired police captain saw what was done to my mom. Guess who did NOT stop to make sure that she was okay. I don't know which is worse. What is done to my mom by a brain dead stranger or what ISN'T done to her by our own flesh and blood.

Sounds like you're a little bitter, which is understandable. As a Christian I'm sure you'll exercise forgiveness, which is often healthy for someone as upset as you are.

The world is a rough place and a lot of unfortunate things happen to the best of us, this seems to be one of those things. It's good that you're finding a way to release your anger, and of course I wish the best for your mother just as I'd wish the best for anyone, but I don't think BEA is the place to seek prayers.

What happened is bad, sure, and I wouldn't want it to happen to anyone, but I don't think it was severe enough to expect strangers who may not share the same faith as you to exercise prayer. Please talk to your family and close friends about this, I'm sure they will be able to help you better than we can.

To me, there is no such thing as too much prayer. I don't see anything wrong with my bringing this up at this forum of all places either. It was placed in the appropriate area at least. Also if certain people are not interested in anything that I have to say here, that is a right that can't be taken from them by anyone including me.

God bless you and them and everyone else here always!!! Smile

P.S. I believe that forgiveness can't be exercised until it is asked for and so far no one has asked for it.

That's not even remotely in line with Christianity.

Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

Matthew 18:21-22
Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?" Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.

Matthew 18:35
So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.

Luke 2:67
But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you.

Luke 6:37
Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven.

1 Peter 3:9
Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing.

Whoopsies.

I believe that the Lord does not forgive anyone until they ask him to, so why should I automatically forgive anyone if the Lord is not going to?

God bless you always!!! Smile

What they said is true though. It does seem extremely hypocritical to hold a belief like that; it flies in the face of what Christianity teaches. I'm not a Christian, but if I was I'd be pretty offended to have the religion's most ardent and vocal supporters not even practice or promote its teachings. It totally misrepresents the religion and, at a time when opposition to religion and Christianity is at a huge peak, that's the last thing any actual Christians want. It's insulting.

EDIT: Fuck it, this isn't my battle. I'll leave you'll to it.

Come on, guys. Maybe sometimes it's better to not reply to a thread, or maybe dip into the well of sympathy and say something nice than to take the opportunity to blast someone for their beliefs when they are obviously upset. Regardless of what you think of the religious beliefs being expressed, it's important to remember that we're human, and to expect perfection from someone in the way they feel especially under stress is pretty unrealistic. We're emotional beings, and I think that what Jo is feeling is pretty justified given the circumstances. She at least deserves to not be blasted for feeling the way she does. What did she do to you, except to reach out for some moral support? This is supposed to be a community here. How would you feel if you reached out and got a rash of criticism in return?

Jo, my best to your mom. I know it's hard for her, and for you, to see bad things like this happen to people unprovoked. Be happy that she wasn't physically harmed...you still have her there, and it sounds like there will be some justice done based on the fact that there is a witness.
