Dear RaGe

Im sorry to inform that a friend has died after struggling a year with cancer. She was ''healed'' a year ago, then a couple of months later cancer has spreaded in her entire body. So what to think.. She died an extreme painfull death, she died while her boyfriend whispered ''close your eyes.. we will hold eachother soon'', she died crying. What does she remember? I doubt it are those last painfull moments. No i think it where the times that she was with her boyfriend.

Today was her funeral, a beautiful ceremony but for fuck sake, seriously why does EVERYTHING we humans do, has something to do with god

GOD GAVE US A NAME
GOD GAVE US HAPPINES
GOD MADE THE EARTH
GOD TOOK HER AWAY
WHEN YOU ARE ALONE AND WALK A DARK VALLEY, I SHALL NOT BE AFRAID CAUSE GOD WATCHES OVER US
GOD GOD GOD

Seriously, i got so anoyed but that dude saying that. Who is he helping with saying that sort of crap? I find it propganda, something to believe in when death is near. Is that a bad thing? No, ofcourse not. Totally understandable that people find comfort in that

But when death has come you can say the truth. She is gone, she wont come back but she died with people surrounding her.. her last weeks alive were imense, she died exausted but with all her friends who stood by her side untill the very end, she died relieved, knowing that we have allways been there for her. I hope you found your rest and we shall never forget you, the bravest person I ever knew. Your fighting untill the end gave us scars we will never loose, we could see your pain and yet you wouldnt gave up untill death was floating right above you. You received my last tear as you wanted, you would slap me in my face if i cried once more. I sang and played your favourite tune on your funeral and i will allways love you

In your honor,

Sasuke

I'm sorry for your loss man. Seriously.

There is a reason the only time in my life I have ever prayed was when I thought my mother was going to die.

The same reason everyone turns to god at that time. Fear.


Of course from here I could go on to lambast the church for exploiting that fear for personal gain, throw in some Marx quotes and generally piss and whine about religion as a whole. But I won't, people are stupid when they are scared, myself included. Blame the fuckers that make a profit from that, not the people themselves.

I'll drink a shot of whiskey for your friend ( I can't stand whiskey - only ever drink it at a death).

Cheers, i think im heading to the bar tonight as well. its a good night to booz myself a bit.

Sorry man to hear it. Well,I do pray every time when I am in deep,deep trouble and sometimes it works,sometimes not. Sometimes I curse god for weather or thank for a beautiful moment in my life. Is that is called believe? Don't think so. We just need someone to blame and someone to thank. I don't call myself a religious person. Was in church once in Easter and once in Christmas when I was about 5-6 years old. Thats all.

And one more thing. Before we are dying we want to get an illusion that there is a better world and that we will get there. That is relief and you can't blame people for having it. It is just a illusion what people need to have before they die or something...

this is the only theme what i dont wanna read and talk about ..............
