This is why I love the supernatural - Page 3 - Religion, God, and Theology

Why do you keep pointing this out? Do you think that if you actually saw the video that you would get something more out of it than the the rest of us did? Would you see god working in "mysterious ways" that the rest of us are incapable of perceiving? Please explain how actually watching the video of old people being burned alive would have changed any of your responses in this thread. I'd really like to know.

If a video like that doesn't "stop you in your tracks", what would?

Did you not feel any empathy whatsoever when the old Kenyan woman tried to crawl away from the fire, only to be savagely beaten and thrown back in?

fwiw i could only last about 10 seconds into 2g1c before feeling the urge to vomit. Also, i was listening to my ipod when i watched the video so perhaps whatever screams and **** was going on might have changed it. but ive seen too many brutality perpetrated by humans onto humans to be affected at this point. i lost my faith in 99% of humanity a LONG time ago.

He must have been in shock. I thought he was dead when they focused on him sitting in the flames, but then you can see him moving with his skin on fire. He was just waiting to die.

It's sick that Ryan is getting PM'd by ghouls hoping to score a link to the video, even after we described what the video involves.

There's a pretty big difference between sitting through 2g1c and watching a video of real human beings being burned alive.

The terrified screams definitinely make it even worse -- but the audio isn't the tipping point between it being horrible and merely unpleasant.

It's no secret human beings can do horrible things to each other. In the news today: a man punched a 16-year-old in the head, causing fatal brain injury, in a racially motivated attack. 3 male relatives of a 22-year-old are arrested for sexually abusing and raping her since the age of 5. Mexican police find the dismembered bodies of 9 people...etc., etc.

You get numb to this sort of stuff after a while.

my point is that ive seen and heard enough about humans doing terrible things to each other to be jaded against it at this point pretty severely. which is why i have no problem with that video but 2g1c is unbearable.
