Are you playing with our emotions or are you serious. If you are serious I totally misjudged your intentions with this thread and maybe even totally misjudged you. Is that the softer side of you?

How did you meet the family if I may ask? Best for the writing of the biography.

She is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen! I HAVE to paint her!" When I clicked on the image it took me to her memorial site. As I read her story my heart broke. I painted her, and e-mailed it to her mother. We have been close ever since. :devilish: |

I have now also read the memorial page and it is touching. I recently wrote a letter to a newspaper here in Taiwan because of the weak enforcement on traffic laws considering it is the largest killer of people between 15 and 30 in the world and the second largest of people between 25 and 50 (2002) statistics). I wonder why we are fighting things like AIDS and SARS and terrorism if the giant killer isn't addressed.
Checked out your painting to and I think mailing it to her mother was a very nice gesture. Why the question about guardian angels though? If it was only to ask if we think you are crazy or not you should already know the answer. If it is any consolation I don't think you are. |

In the mind every imaginable notion is allowed to exist. What's in your mind?
POOF!

Are you saying that Sammy is a notion, a figment of my imagination?

If you want to know what I believe, I believe that anyone who believes in guardian angels is in need of medication, or perhaps less medication.
I guess some people just really need that "Invisible friend" that most people grow out of. I would prefer to avoid those beliefs
Magic is doing improbable things with odd items that, under normal circumstances, would be unnessecary and quite often undesirable.

What about that movie where Jake Gyllenhaal had an invisible friend in the rabbit suit? Oh, wait, he was kinda whacked out, too.
"Torture doesn't work" lol
Guess they forgot to tell Bill Buckley. "...as we reason and love, we are able to hope. And hope enables us to resist those things that would enslave us." |

There are all sorts of possibilities, even with respect to this one particular situation.

I think the belief in guardian angels, specifically those who affect your life in a more tangible way, is quite separate from "religious" belief.
Remember, when you talk to god, it's prayer. When god talks back, it's schizophrenia. Also, I never said all religious people are whacked out.

Not everyone who professes to hear back from them is telling the truth, either. Did someone say Jonathan Edward?
