CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
please pray

hurting-
I don't know why you are hurting, but I will pray for you. I believe that God has an appointed time for our lives to end, and I hope and pray by your above post you don't intend on helping Him on yours. I know that life can get rough sometimes and we just don't want to have to deal with things anymore, or we don't feel like we have the strength to deal with them. I have been there. But ending your life is a very drastic and permanent solution to a temporary problem. I know sometimes our problems seem like they will last forever and the way things are today are the way things are always going to be. But most times, that is not the case. Situations change, new doors are opened for us. I know that if I would have taken my life 6 years ago when I wanted to, I would have missed out on some spectacular plans God had for me. Those rough times eventually passed and I am now stronger for them. So please hang in there. Hang on to God and let Him help you through the dark days. He is faithful.
Dear Heavenly Father-I lift hurting up to you at this very moment. Please, Lord, give her comfort during this time in her life. Renew her strength Lord to keep keeping on. Help her to feel your presence in her life in such a way, Lord, that she can not deny that you are with her and you are carrying her through her fears and sorrows. Renew her passion to live and show her what marvelous plans you have for her. Bring people into her life that will help her at this time. People to give her Godly counsel that will help her. Whatever it takes, Lord, I pray that you will provide for her. Let her know that she is loved, by You, by many of us here, and by many others in her life she may not even know about right now. Just hold her up. Give her strength. In the name of your precious Son, Amen.

I can only imagine what is happening. Many things run through ones head. It sounds like some kind of suicide threat/attempt. Maybe you already tried to kill yourself and as you wrote that you hoped you would not survive. Maybe you are terminally ill. It is a thought provoking thing when someone says "pray I die on time".
Either way someone who would say this must be in a lot of pain. I have faced that kind of pain where death appears to be the best option. That is such a lonely hopeless place. I have only seriously been there once, though I have had minor similar thoughts from time to time. My prayer is that your pain will be aleviated. That your heart become lighter, and that you have something to look forward to. That God can put a goal inside you and that you can strive to achieve it. That you will find there are many meaningful things for you to do that will bring happyness to you and others.
Please respond sometime if you have the chance, I'd be interested to know how yer doing.
later yo,
BEN
