[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm so glad you posted this question.

I am a Christian, live in DC and spend the summer in Charleston. So I am here now and what I have witnessed this week has made me not doubt my faith, but actually inspired and made it stronger. What I have seen here this week is nothing short of the work of the Holy Spirit here on earth.

Satan himself -- in the body of DR -- walked into that church on Wednesday night. He confronted the risen Christ, and once again tried to attack it as he has done for 2,000 years. [b]But what was the result? Healing, love and forgiveness[/b], even from those most personally affected by the tragedy. The city is in more pain than you can believe but there is also evidence here of the power of the risen Lord to conquer it all. DR is finished. His evil is exposed and has been put in his place. Others will try again -- Satan will not be fully conquered until Christ comes again -- but I can assure you, in this instance, he did not win.  [/quote]

Don't forget that fear and pain and murder were also results.  Also children deprived of their fathers or mothers.  I am happy to see people come together to help the living in this time of great pain, and hope the time comes when this compassion isn't automatically couched in the language of satan and god.[/quote]

You are absolutely right. This is a pain and void these victim family members will endure for the rest of their lives. Fortunately, they do have the knowledge that they will be together with their loved ones again one day.

Why does this tone of language bother you? All of the victims are devout Christians. Especially if this language is comfort to their relatives, why shouldn't it continue?[/quote]

I'm all for comfort, especially in the time of trauma.  I hope that people don't ultimately believe all the stories they are telling themselves right now to deal with the pain.[/quote]

Truly, how dare you. Your statements are the very definition of cruelty.[/quote]
