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’t think I can pray to him — or her — to <b>cure me of cancer</b>. </i>

It'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'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.

I’d be willing to sacrifice John Edwards to some God if that will help Elizabeth. Oh heck, I’d be willing even if it wouldn’t make any difference. This just sucks.

Being realistic, and coming to terms with the inevitable are somehow thought to be disrespectful to God. That's interesting. I didn't know the benevolent almighty One wanted us to spend our final weeks anguishing over whether or not He'll come through and do his abracadabra. Peace and serenity are overrated anyway.
