This is so different from Hank Gathers, Loyola Marymount All American basketball player who collapsed and died in 1990. He died of a heart anomaly as a result of a birth defect. Nobody thought it could happen to them.
Scott Van Pelt is fighting back tears as he reports. They say it's about Damar Hamlin. It is, but it's way bigger than that. Who will be the first to speak the truth?
This is history happening. God bless this man.
Edit: first report on his condition is CRITICAL
Folks, I am tired. As much as I would hope that this would wake my wife up, I’m much more hopeful that this young man pulls through.
I’m an atheist, so the best that I can do is send out my hopefulness that he pulls through.
I’ll be praying for you and the football player.
Thank you!
Reevaluate your atheism before its too late.
An atheist is allowed to pray. In fact, it’s practically mandatory under the terms of Pascal’s wager.
Hope is a gift of the spirit of God. If God doesn’t exist neither does hope. God is Love. Let’s pretend that you can’t appropriate the things of God if you’re an atheist. What would that look like. Being an atheist is about shirking responsibility for your actions and being unaccountable and sheer arrogance. I’m not trying to shit on you. I want you to think about why it is you are an atheist despite evidence to the contrary.
If there is no God, this young man's life does not mean jack shit and he may as well die.
From u/Picador_20:
That's a really disgusting thing to say.
It seems that God has not made you into a decent human.
Atheism is disgusting and indecent. If you are one, you are a low-minded individual.
I am not asserting that his life means jack shit and that he may as well die. I am asserting that God exists, therefore this man's life does have meaning and I hope he lives. But as he lives, he has a duty to know God, to love God, and to fear God, as do we all.
God is in your DNA. To deny God is to deny what is good and Godly within you.
Don't lie.
That is EXACTLY what you wrote.
