I will probably offend someone else as I seem to do quite often but If you need
proof then you have no faith. You can't sit and question a faith. The big
differences come in what you have faith in. The questions aren't simple,
like,"will your faith tolerate embryonic stem cell research?" They are complex
like, "will your faith allow you to tolerate the existance of someone who
studies embryonic stem cells?" Does your faith really respect the rights of
people who have a different faith?
A lot of us know that Christian history doesn't have much tolerance for other
Christians, let alone people that worship non-Christian faiths. For alomost a
century we have allowed our leaders to discuss how tolerant we are. I don't
think we are tolerant. Maybe we are but I don't see it. We preach tolerance. We
seem to want to be tolerant. Most of us (able-bodied and handicapped) hate
large groups of people for all sorts of reasons.
My grandfather use to say the second amendment made people tolerant. Not enough
of us are armed?

Subject: Fwd: Re: [QUAD-L] after death
I really don't know about everyone but, I believe there is live after death. I
died and came back. Here is my story.
Wheelchair Warrior
My Near Death Experience
One day I was fine and the next day I could not breathe. I was so scared and at
the same time it was so peaceful. My mother was with me in the intensive care.
She looked kind of funny for she was wearing those green gowns. As I looked up
at her I know at that very moment I was going to die and said:” Mom I’m dying.”
All of a sudden everything went black. Then I was surrounded by Angles. The
room became a beautiful golden light. I heard sounds of wind chimes and Angels
were taking me up into the light. I turn and saw so many doctors working on me.
They were racing around and putting a tube down my throat. One of the doctors
garbed a long suction cup that is attached to a machine and places it again my
chest. The other doctor said: “clear” and my body jump up from the bed. They
were using the electricity paddle over and over, but the doctors couldn’t get
my heart started. Each time they used the paddles my body arch up and full to
the bed, but I wanted to go with the Angels. All at once I was by a river. It
was beautiful on the other side it was like looking into the Garden of Eden. I
saw a man surrounded by a golden light. He held out his arms and said:” If it
is to pain full come across.” It was JUSES! Oh how I wanted to go to him. I
turn my head, and saw the doctors still working to save my life. I looked at
Jesus he told me that he had so much more for me to do on earth. I was asked if
you can not take the pain just cross the river! I said:” Yes I could take the
pain.” All at once I want back into my body and was in a coma. Later I found
out I was dead for five minutes. The doctor told my family that I was in Gods
hands. The only thing to do was to pray.
After three weeks I woke up from the coma. A nurse was standing beside me. I
ask her is it time to wake up. She jumped back like she heard the voice of God.
That is when she ran to get the doctor, I was upset because I wanted to go back
to see Jesus! When the doctor came in he to was surprised to see me awake. He
told me I was in a coma for three weeks and he didn’t know if I would have came
out of it. There was a lot of people praying for you young lady. Doctor David
Smith only had one arm. He knows what he was doing. God Bless Him.
I wanted to add to this story that I know God has used me in so many
ways. I know that the Lord is with me everyday of my life. Even though
sometimes I just want to be in that heavenly place, and feel that inner peace.
I know that it is not my decision to make, it is the Lords
