Have you experienced a “life and death” situation?

<< < (2/6) > >>

undetz:
I agree with with kita, why the fuck would you call for a priest?

As a filipino, i'm sure you've heard of this happen on the news. I've never thought i'd almost be in one tho.

Not exactly life and death. I was on my way home from college passing through Greenbelt park and stopped for a quick coffee. I heard a loud thump, but didn't pay it any  mind. Turns out the bus stop in front of SM (The one under MRT), was bombed and the bus had opened up like a flower. If i didn't stop for coffee, i'd probably be dead.

That ladies and gentlemen, is what happens when you have Extremist Catholics in the nothern half of the Philippines, and Extremist Muslims in the southern half.

He's not kidding. This is the kind of country where people really *would* pray for you rather than pull you out of a wreckage.

dubkats:
car crash
head on collision at ~70km/h
car was a write-off (chassis was bent, engine/firewall was moved)
here is a pic:

result: concussion, whiplash and superficial scratch.....buy another civic :3

praying is fine, but renting a priest isn't free where they could've just payed a doctor for emergency medication. so which would you prefer, people hospitalizing you or people calling for a priest as if they're mourning for the dead?


btw i was replying to this

edit:
anyway, what has god have to do with life or death situations, not like praying can heal your torn body overnight and such... if he does do that then i sure do hope he turns me into an immortal while hes at it.

wait a sec... i think a blood-pact with a demon works 1,337,666 times better than praying to a god >,> "trade my soul for a f&^k-awesome life that'll last 65years."
PS: i just happened to be reading necromancer >,>

Had a quincy (basically a pile of snow, settled and then hollowed out in the middle, kinda like an igloo but just a pile of snow instead of bricks of it) collapse on me.  When it collapsed I felt back so I ended up lying on my back and couldn't breathe at all.  If the instructor hadn't known exactly where my head was, I doubt they would have been able to find me in time, and I probably wouldn't be here today...  I've been claustrophobic ever since..

In this case obviously there was no priest called.  But none of my immediate family is heavily christian, or even heavily religious.
