[On Margaret Thatcher being admitted to a hospital.]
On another note, I hope she doesn't suffer to much, but it would be pretty hypocritical for me as a Christian to hope she 'gets well soon'.

Um, no, that would actually be very Christian of you, whether you like her or not (heck, arguably it would be especially Christian if you don't like her and still want her to get well soon).
While I commend you on hoping she does not suffer, where in your religion does it state that you have to be a cunt and hope that she takes a while to recover?
It must be that "christian love" that I hear so much about.
Since this is pretty much exactly what Jesus is supposed to have told you to do (Luke, chapter 6), you would in fact be actually following the tenets of your professed religion for once. Hence the term you are looking for isn't 'hypocritical' but 'out-of-character'. Hypocritical is what you are the rest of the time.
Keep reading the thread, s/he says that s/he as a Christian should want her to go to heaven as soon as possible.
Everyone else was like "well, I hope you remember that when you have a terminally ill family member."
That whole "Good Samaritan" story in the Bible just went right over Cheyenne's head, didn't it?
EDIT: Ah, so she wants her to die and 'get to heaven.' Yea, that's not a sure sign of a death cult or anything.

"No one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions; he had money as well".

Guys you need to all look at context. Later on in the thread, he explained that he wouldn't want her to get well because he wanted her to go to heaven, rather than stay on earth and suffer.
He's an idiot, but not an asshole.
"On another note, I hope she doesn't suffer to much, but it would be pretty hypocritical for me as a Christian to hope she 'gets well soon'."
No it wouldn't you ignorant imbecile. It's almost like you've all heard of this Jesus guy but don't actually know anything about him.
Congrats, you are a high-grade jerk.
Not that I like Thatcher, but you are still a high grade jerk.
Personally, i intend to take two days off work when that Bitch dies.
One to get drunk, & one to sober up.
After what that Bitch did to our mining/engineering/shipbuilding industries, i hope the Bitch dies screaming. I hope she screams until her throat bleeds.
That Bitch is what happens when you believe the bullshit that American Free-Market economists push.
"it would be pretty hypocritical for me as a Christian to hope she 'gets well soon'."
well, you've had lots of practice. hypocrite

Yes, and people here frequently tell fundies to go "die in a fire" because they want them to become best friends with Baby Jesus!
While under normal circumstances I would never take pleasure in the suffering of another person, Free-Born John has pretty much summed up my views on Thatcher. She destroyed vast areas of Britain, including where I grew up, for political reasons and boasted about it to the rapturous applause of the braying fools in her party until she finally ran out of rhetoric and became a liability. She was then dumped and ignored, but too late. So many jobs, communities, livelihoods and futures sacrificed. And for what? I apologise for the bitterness of this post, but Thatcher? If I believed in eternal damnation and suffering she would be not too far off the top of the list.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
