You think I'm kidding? It's true! Some wacko wrote a letter asking Pat Robertson for advice on his 700 Club show last year. In the letter, a man said he was writing on behalf of a friend (don't we all), whose wife had Alzheimer's and no longer knows who he is. So what does this God-fearing Christian man say?
"I know it sounds cruel, but if he's going to do something, he should divorce her and start all over again, but make sure she has custodial care and somebody looking after her."
Are you fucking serious? If there is one thing I learned from the Bible and my Christian upbringing was to love your spouse unconditionally. I know for a fact that if something happened to Ryan I would be there with him until the very end, or vice versa. But here is a religious man who speaks to millions and millions of people around the world, who listen to his advice, and faithfully admire him. How is this possible? Are people really this stupid?

There are people in this world that just need to go. Their hateful beliefs are no longer valid, for most, and their presence is no longer wanted or desired. For the world to evolve and become a better place, the knowledge and lessons of life must be passed on to the next generation while the bitterness, prejudices, and hatred of the previous one, die along with them. Though it is sad that negativity will always be taught from one generation to the next, no matter what we do, it is the eventually job of the child to learn from their parent, and one day be a better parent themselves.
what about the wedding vows "til death do us part" does that not mean anything any more? sad
As a nurse I have seen what Alzheimer's does to the patient and their family. I pray that we find a cure soon. I wouldnt wish that on my worst enemy.
I agree. I have an aunt who is coming down with it. It's really sad. I feel for my cousins.
