		<description>Hell exists and God&#039;s Mercy exists.

Since the Lord God is the Alpha and Omega of every eternal sequence, you should trust God to correctly deal with the eternal sequence of Hell. Islamic terrorists enter Hell because they are insane with pride. We can only fight them; we can&#039;t cure them like God.</description>

		<description>Hello.  It&#039;s been 15 days and clearly all has not been said about this tragic event.  

Tho&#039; as a person who has been properly, professionally, and responsibly dx&#039;d with pts, who has experienced the stigma of that dx from both fellow professionals and lay folks, who found effective treatment after the sad news (which at the time was correct) that pts was (thank god, time and research and learning march on!) an intractable condition, who has done the deep, painful, difficult work of recovery and is continuing to heal on a deeper level than I ever imagined possible, who was coaching those who were determined to recover and perhaps one day heal and advocating for recovery for  those others dx&#039;d with a smi before being dx&#039;d myself, I am amazed once again about the rush to judgements by so many fine, well-educated, ought to know better folks.
I believe that as of today, Dr. Hasan is possibly a &quot;paranoid schizophrenic terrorist with ptsd&quot; if you listen to some of the mental health folks, the media, et al.  And yet, what we know is that Dr. Hasan is a person who has been charged with the murders of 13 other people and the assault of another 43 with a deadly weapon.  I believe I have stated the charges that were published correctly.  

I stated in another blog that I never imagined homicide when I was in the midst of the pts pain.  I should clarify by saying that, yes, I am aware that I, like all fellow humans, am capable of violence and even the taking of another&#039;s life.  The question was always, before, in the midst of, and after the official lable of post traumatic stress, knowing this, what is my responsibility?  Shall I pass it on or not?  I answered this question for myself when I was about 6 years old. 

My Dad taught me how to use a gun when I was old enuf to demonstrate and speak to my understanding of the responsibility that presented/offered.  I became excellent at skeet (out shot my old man!), and we hunted together.  We also cleaned, cooked and ate at our table with great gratitude what Life had given us.  
Time to wake up, my dear brothers and sisters!</description>

		<description>Dr. Amen, 

I cannot help but wonder who you thought of killing, even for only five minutes?  The massacre at Ft. Hood took only minutes to occur, minutes that atleast 13 families would give anything to reverse.  Do you think that your admittance gives credance to the behavior of this terrorist?  He obviosly was a sick man, tortured in many ways, but your comments come dangerously close to excuses.  Please consider the lives, emotional, physical, spiritual and mental well being of the victims of this tragedy before you align yourself in too many ways with this criminal.</description>

		<description>Just a poor misunderstood/confused boy. Trained by his faith to hate us infidels. The media can&#039;t even call him the terrorist he is. Let&#039;s explain away this hedious act. Evil is as evil does regardless of how you want to explain it.</description>

		<description>Nice case study! But please, Dr. Amen, you know that as a medical person, he was not going to &quot;shoot&quot; anyone. He had a unique opportunity to do some good by bridging gaps between muslims and non.  Instead he committed a terrorist act regardless of his motives.  Now the military will be unsure of each other. Mission accomplished.</description>
