“perksofbeingkelley: Olivia Penpraze.
19 years old.
Died from a Suicide attempt that left her brain dead. Her parents made the hardest decision of their lives by turning off her life support.
She had a Tumblr account with over 900 posts sharing her emotional turmoil, dealings with depression, loneliness & thoughts about her wanting to take her own life.
The only response she got, was insensitive assholes, like the majority of people on Tumblr, encouraging her to do it. She was bullied consistently. Olivia attempted to kill herself every year in May 1st since 2008.
In May 2012, her short life came to an end.
I know most people can’t tolerate posts like Olivia’s, whom find it attention seeking. My point to you people is…
EXACTLY!!
Of course it’s attention seeking what else it?! People share that part of themselves over the Internet because they obviously feel they can’t talk to anyone they know nor do they think anyone would care.
All I want is for people to cut out the bullying & talk to people like Olivia. A conversation to someone in desperation could save their life.
If people can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.
You never know… What you say could be used to decide whether they live or die. This is heartbreaking”

Any denial of a freedom, no matter how you view the situation, will negate any good thing you have to say about the gospel. Good luck with your ‘great’ commission.

I’ve been reading some Thomas B. Thayer. He had a lot to do with universalism in the 1800s. The particular piece I’ve been reading is about the use if the word “hell” in the bible.

Traditionally there have been 3 words that are rendered as “hell” in our language but none of them have the intent as what we think of when we hear the word “hell.”

Now, I am not denying hell exists. I am not denying that there is punishment for our actions. Not that God Is sitting on his throne in magical sky land waiting to throw darts at us for the first slip up, and it seems like our actions easily bring their own punishment. Maybe it would be better to use the word “effects” instead of punishment.

Running up credit cards lead to excessive debt; driving too fast leads to speeding tickets and accidents; substance abuse leads to a multitude if issues, destruction, and loneliness. Even a nonbeliever would agree with this.

Rob Bell’s Love Wins has taken a lot of flack recently for merely suggesting that there is an alternative way to look at thr word hell.

I’m just wondering why we’re so in a hurry to send them there. Some are quicker to accept hell for someone than to have a conversation about a better way to live. It really bothers me. And if there is eternal torment, I wonder if it is waiting for thr Sunday Christian who didn’t bother to help anyone out of their destructive condition.

Thayer is worth a read. You’ll probably not resonate with everything he says or wear he lands in his own life; i didn’t, but the historical take is sound.

Instead of damming, could we at least attempt to be more inviting? No time limits to salvation, no writing anyone off, but living Witt those around us who need something more.
