I just got an email from Dan. His son had a severe seizure, and they have taken him to the ER.
I'll give more information as I receive it.
I know we all have our differences, but we have always rallied in times of crisis.
My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.
I'm fasting for him tomorrow. Anyone care to join me?
Prayers Please

That is terrible news.
I hope things get better for his son.

Re: Prayers Please
Best wishes. One of my close family members suffered for a time from grand mal seizures, so I know how frightening they can be.

Re: Prayers Please
People on this board need to give Dan a break. Posters need to call a truce and let Dan care for his son in peace and serenity.
I intend to lay a foundation that will revolutionize the whole world.

Re: Prayers Please
How does an anonymous atheist poster on a discussion board deal with this?
Let's see:
I believe that I cannot do anything for Daniel Peterson or his son that will help them in any way, or that they need at this time.
But I do have (in real life) this sense of gratitude to all the people I meet in daily life who confer my personhood upon me by recognizing my human existence (and I can't see how to remain human without the reciprocity of which gratitude is a part). I think that my interactions with Daniel Peterson here and elsewhere have in small ways helped me maintain my sense of human existence, even if only through disagreement and occasionally derision.
So if any of you think there is anything you can do for this man and his son as they face up to the enemies in the form of disease and death who seek to destroy every one of us, please go ahead and do it, and good luck to you.

That's the problem with this supernatural stuff, it doesn't really solve anything. It's a placeholder for ignorance.
