It's interesting some believers  when they suffer a loss will take solace in their faith and their faith increases.  Others reject god for doing it to them, or the impossibility that a god could let such a thing happen disproves him.
The later was apparently one of the things that turned Darwin from his faith, the death of his first(?) child when she was 10.
If religions were TV channels atheism is turning the TV off.

Remember, your inability to grasp science is not a valid argument against it.

Greetings, fellow grandparent! We need more old 'uns on this forum.  Err ... zzzz ... snore ... false teeth fall out ... zzzzzz.

Quote from: TankI have been married for 30+ years now and it's not beyond the realms of possibility I could make it to 50+ years. I'll be honest I don't want my wife to die first. I have no idea how I would face a day without her now, let alone 20 years further on.
Yes, Mrs Git and I will chalk up 40 years on Sunday, and I agree entirely.  Except she will suffer just the same if I die first.

We had a pair of very close friends who had been married for over 50 years when he died last year.  She, being a Christian, keeps dropping little references to him looking down from "up there"  Of course I dont argue, but it's a bit sad.

Darwin is in my thoughts when I think about these things, I just re watched "Creation," it's such a beautiful sad story, triumphant too I suppose.  I'm not sure if I'd recommend it to someone grieving, maybe after a year.

We both agree and trust me it is more about my physical survival...that I have to go first....when he says "I can not live with out you...". I just look at him and he says..."shit either we go together or yeah You go first..you could not live with out me"
