Bride dies during marriage's first dance

[tzarinna]

That's only half of it. What the hell about the groom?


P.S.: Anybody else reminded of last Tuesday's episode of House?

Forgot about that.
Life can be so cruel. My heart goes out to the groom.

 

[The Chairman]

Wow, take of your Hate Goggles and realize that there's a reason that people framed this in terms of the problem of a good, loving God allowing something so bizarrely ghastly to happen, LONG before I got here. This is also like the first tragedy-death thread I've ever seen where everyone wasn't saying stuff about praying to God to comfort the families.

You don't like my take on it, fine, but if they can say "I don't blame God.", then they brought God into it, and I can respond, "I do."

You're really being jerks and only perpetuating it.
You're no better than I am, but you think you are.

Take of your cloak of arrogance and realize what that you're the one who does this in just about every thread involving some senseless tragedy. If you don't bring religion into it, you still manage to put some spin on it to justify the misfortune of the victim (like when you tried to justify the suicide of that depressed MySpace users. Oh, and you also justified the death of the bomber of Hiroshima by coming up with the headline "Hiroshima Bomber Dies, Goes To Hell" with no provoking whatsoever).

Not one person here left the door open for you to spout off your played out rhetoric, not even the two posts you cited (which were most likely gearing for your inevitable anti-religion centered posts). This is you, as always, trying to justify your anti-God (well, the Christian God) stance and get a hoard of attention.

Oh, and before you start on the whole "Don't Click On The Thread" BS (your posts have truly become decidedly predictable), neither me nor anyone came in here with the purpose of a religious debate.

Haha, you're the time-traveler from an enlightened future. Nobody here has claimed anything quite as ballsy as that.

 

[Darthphere]

Why are you singling me out.

Because it's easy. This is your modus operandi Wilhelm. You come into a thread where something tragic happens and spout your "Where is your God now?" drivel. You may have not been the first to say something to the like, but I can honestly say that I was not the only one to probably think "I wonder when Wilhelm will chime in." You're that predictable. I get it, you had a rough childhood and Jesus touched you in your naughty area and whatnot, I've heard your history. But it gets to a point where enough is enough, we get it, move on.

Jesus touched him in the naughty area

 

[Goshdarn Batman]

Ewww...

(let's get back on topic)

 

[The Chairman]

Jesus touched him in the naughty area

When he was 8, not by Christ, but by this Jesus:

Wilhelm can't tell the difference.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

Because it's easy. This is your modus operandi Wilhelm. You come into a thread where something tragic happens and spout your "Where is your God now?" drivel.

Then it wouldn't be any problem at all for you to find the last time I did it.
When was the last time I did it?
I think it was many months ago.

Yes, and I get it. You liberal Christians are so put upon and wounded and tired of my beliefs.
It's okay if I HAVE them, I just....shouldn't, EXPRESS them so much.

And now, you're all "that predictable"...unable to pass up an opportunity to complain,.....about how much I complain.
Unable to pass up an opportunity to bask in personally attacking me for expressing my beliefs.

Oh yeah...didja notice, how, I talk about concepts, the topic, but never once mention you, or The Chairman, or Memphis Slim?
No, that's your guys's bailiwick.

We get it. Move on.

I don't have to, everyone knows you do it. Why is it you can't see it? Denial maybe?

Yes, and I get it. You liberal Christians are so put upon and wounded and tired of my beliefs.

Oh, and this is also other one of your things you do. You try to play the victim card, like we're attacking you specifically because we're all evil Christians and want to silence you because your views differ from ours. We don't care about your views, spout them all you want, you're free to express yourself, but we're also free to express our ever growing annoyance to your consistent "attack" of our beliefs every chance you get whether it's warranted or not (in this case, not). You can go ahead and keep playing that violin, and throwing out the victim card, because no one is going to buy it. I have no problem with your views, and actually enjoy reading your beliefs on this topic most of the time, but not when it's shoehorned into a topic it has no place in. You're just as bad as those Christians who say God sent Hurricane Katrina to cleanse New Orleans of sin. It had no place there, just like God has no place in this discussion.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

It would only take a few keystrokes and a trip to another message board to find out where you've been funneling your Christianity hatred

In your daily travels, are you having God and Christianity shoved down your throat? I have no idea what it's like where you live; whether you have those annoying curb-side preachers or televangelists. But even as a Christian(by my definition, obviously not yours or else we'd be fighting every second of every day), it sounds like you're hearing more God-propaganda than I am.

 

[Jerry!]

This started over Ice-Man? Ice-Man??

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

Why don't you all shut up about me and get back onto the topic.
I responded, on topic, then, I responded to GAH.
Then, you all piled on about how tiresome I am, which is ****ing ******ed because you can put me on ignore at any time.

People say that I'm "trying to get attention" by expressing my beliefs, but you are the ones who are trying to get attention, from ME, or you could just put me on ignore.
But you'd rather complain about me, try to get me into trouble for doing the exact same thing you do (but the flipside), and insult me.

Who's more tiresome, the tiresome guy, or the people who constantly complain about how tiresome the tiresome guy is when they could flip the channel at any time?


Reminds me of my friend's fat sister who sat there shoveling this casserole into her mouth, going, "Oh GAWD!, this *gulp* stuff is TERRIBLE. This *muffle* casserole tastes like *lipsmack* Dog food. What is IN *chomp* this?!? Terrible."


Go back to the topic, kids.

It seems like Wilhelm is trying to stop me from expressing myself. Wilhelm is officially a hypocrite.

Also, the complaining about complaining thing is so stupid. SO stupid in fact that I will complain about people who complain about complaining.

Do you know how easily this can be seen as how YOU act? People are piling on because frankly they get sick of seeing seemingly every thread you post in derailed into religion bashing at one point or another. And some of these same people even agree you with about a lot of the things you post about it, me included, but it gets to the point where it gets to be overbearing. It's like as soon as the word "god" or "christianity" or "jesus" is posted in any thread people do a collective "Oh ****.." and an alarm goes off somewhere and within the hour you are on the scene.

 

[Drizzle]

I love how I open this thread and the first thing I see is Jesus Quintana.

I don't want to derail this thread any further, but all of this prejudice against me must be addressed, because I can PROVE that people are taking one admittedly big aspect of my personality, and blowing it WAY out of proportion.

From the point here today, where *O.T.H.E.R. P.E.O.P.L.E.* brought up God being real, or religion, and I *R.E.S.P.O.N.D.E.D.*, just as anyone else is free to do.........you can look, and see my posts.

I went back FIFTY posts, just because it isn't worth my time to do 100 or more and 50 seems like a good non-small number.

Anything about bashing Christianity will be in red.
Anything about bashing religion will be in blue.
Everything ELSE, will be black.

Where, the Hell...do you get "seemingly EVERY thread I post in derailed into religion bashing" ?!?

MADNESS.
Not a very impressive ratio of fun, and crap, to religion, huh?

And you can keep looking at the freaking RECORD of my posts.
There's a ton more about joking, and topics other than religion.

 

[Erzengel]

Ooh, joke about genitalia.

 

[Jerry!]

See Wilhelm, I thought about editing that sentence out because I knew it was something that you might latch onto and go off on a tirade about instead of actually looking at the rest of the post but I figured that you would know what I was talking about so instead I put "seemingly" in. Unfortunately I should have listened to my gut instinct.

Regarding the thread topic: That frickin sucks

Regarding the content of this thread: What a crazy read!

You don't have to be overweight to have heart problems.

Sat Feb 9


DAVIE, Fla. - Kim Sjostrom wanted a real-life version of the film "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," which played in the background as friends fixed her hair and makeup before her own marriage ceremony.
But less than an hour after she and Teddy Efkarpides were wed, Sjostrom crumpled in her husband's arms during a Greek song that means "Love Me."
At 36, Sjostrom was dead from heart disease.
The wedding had became a project at Davie Elementary School, where Sjostrom taught first grade. Fellow teachers provided the wedding gown, the flowers and decorations. One of them, an ordained minister, performed the ceremony.
"It was perfect for her," said Dominic Church, the minister friend.
Sjostrom carried blue and white flowers during the ceremony — the colors of the Greek flag — as she exchanged vows with Efkarpides, a 43-year-old carpenter and Navy veteran. They had met three years to the day before the Jan. 19 wedding.
During the couple's first dance, Sjostrom complained of being lightheaded. Efkarpides thought his wife, a diabetic, needed sugar, but she collapsed.
Wedding guests, paramedics and doctors at a nearby hospital were unable to revive her.
She had a previous cardiac episode in her 20s and was a poster child — literally — for juvenile diabetes, relatives and friends said. Efkarpides recalled seeing the poster featuring her on New York subways.
He consoles himself by reading a list of "101 Reasons Why I Love You" that Sjostrom gave him their first Christmas together. "Number 1. You make me smile."
No. 98 is especially difficult: "You're the one I want to grow old with."

Wow that's awful.
