Get real people... wishing, praying, or hoping for something doesn't make it happen

10 million people praying for Rush's recover won't help him.

10 million people praying for Rush's death won't kill him.



Stop with the castigating people for telling the truth about how they feel.



If some people (me being one of them) don't mourn the death of bad people, it doesn't mean we contributed toward their death.


.... and you're not going to "heaven" just because you say you wish him well.

1. It's not about "going to heaven", but how you view yourself
and where your values TRULY are.

That's just my opinion, though.

5. The bottom line is that hoping or praying that someone dies does not hurt them,
but such an attitude can likely have a negative upon the one who feels that way. Rush has never learned that hate hurts the hater and many here have not grasped that concept either.

Nobody needs to wish Rush well, but nobody needs to hope that he will die either (not that it would have any effect upon him).
