Another Death Due to Ignorance and "Blind" Faith

Stephen Harmon posted photos of himself in his hospital bed, wrote that he had pneumonia and critically low oxygen levels and was going to be intubated. In a tweet Wednesday, Harmon wrote: “Don’t know when I’ll wake up, please pray,” KCBS-TV reported.

Three days before his death, Harmon tweeted: “If you don’t have faith that God can heal me over your stupid ventilator then keep the Hell out of my ICU room, there’s no room in here for fear or lack of faith!”

What’s almost comical is this guy’s burning need to alert the media that his god was about to perform a miracle that would - I guess - show them once and for all the power of faith. As expected, it did just that.

Now that we're hearing about stronger and deadlier variants, I think I might be starting to change my mind.

These stupid jerks are endangering ALL of us. I have no sympathy for any adult who hasn't gotten the vaccine. At this point, all I have for them is loathing.

Regardless of where Harmon may be, he is learning that all his personal-egoic ideas/thoughts/feelings and misunderstandings of "freedom" are now negated.

There is no freedom, no personal-choice in death, whether one is in Heaven, Hell or Earth; in those realities there is no freedom from compulsion.
