Hey you guys, Elizabeth Edwards, that lady whose husband cheated on her, is now dying. Do you remember when John Edwards announced she was dying of cancer at the beginning of his 2008 campaign, but he was staying in the race so you would vote for him out of pity? Yeah, that campaign promise was broken, because Elizabeth Edwards has lived for a while after that. She lived because she had unfinished business on this planet: She had to write a book about her husband's bone-time and go around selling it to strangers. "Here is my anguish. There is a lot of sex stuff in it," she told us, not long for this world, and everything ruined by her dumb husband. And now soon she is going away from us forever, according to a public statement she left in the hands of her dearest friend, The Facebook. But wait! There is no mention of Jesus in that statement! She hates that baby, and she and her cancer have teamed up to ruin His birfday, according to some guy!
Some terrible person noticed Edwards said nothing about God in her statement and decided to DIG UP THE FACTS, like the following quote, about this private citizen currently about to die of cancer:
I have, I think, somewhat of an odd version of God. I do not have an intervening God. I don't think I can pray to him -- or her -- to cure me of cancer.
What?! You are not allowed to say that. YES, most people support medical research, because most people secretly think they can't depend on God to cure all their ailments, given the millenia-long track record. But you cannot just say that in public, where there may be CHILDREN.
Clearly Elizabeth Edwards wants to put her faith in something, be it hope or strength or anything. But not God. I wonder if it's just bitterness, that's she's been forsaken by more than just her estranged husband --- that's she's been forsaken by Him.
Stupid cancer lady. Grow a pair!
Being anti-religion is cool, so Edwards' non-theological theology gets props from the neo-communists.
Hopefully someone will be able to run screaming into her hospital room right before she expires to let her know she is a communist. [ NYT / American Power via Newell-bird ]
It's such a perfect example of irony here, where the so-called spiritual people, who'd insist their beliefs include an afterlife, or "better place" beyond this existence, would view shedding the physical body and going to that better place as something to be feared and postponed as long as possible. Jesus, I don't get them.
<i>I have, I think, somewhat of an odd version of God. I do not have an intervening God. I don&rsquo;t think I can pray to him &mdash; or her &mdash; to <b>cure me of cancer</b>. </i>
It&#039;s refreshing to see a bit of honesty when it comes to God and the Big C. This is the only right path. I don&#039;t want to seem like an ass and apologies to anyone who had to deal with cancer on any level. Many thumbs-up for Elizabeth...she has more class than her dickweek husband.
