Shouldn't there be scores of caring , giving and loving Christ Cultists lined up giving these people a chance at life?
Where are you? It seems thats its easy to rant and rave about the sanctity of life, but when it comes to actually doing something selfless and pure you fail to deliver.
Jesus gave himself to save us...why aren't you lined up to give a small part of yourself to save a fellow human being? Someones Father , mother or child is dieing because you are not helping.
If this was truly a Christian nation, wouldn't there be zero demand for these life saving organs? Wouldn't there be no waiting lists? Wouldn't there be no chance of someone dieing waiting for a donor?

Why are you on this site? Did you realize that it is called religion and spirituality? If you are such a big atheist then why aren't you on some other site insulting some other group of people? I love how all these so called atheists hang around this site bashing people who have something to believe in. lol. I think you all are jealous of people who have the courage to believe something with their heart and not live in their head. Life's aw some irony is that when you are dieing somewhere someday, it will probably be a christian heart or other organ that will save your life. Will you be grateful? I doubt it. You will probably go on this site and start insulting some other group of people. Cheer up though, Jesus still loves you. peace.

I am an organ donor (or will be when I die) I give blood as often as possible and if ever there was an opportunity to help some with a kidney or bone marrow, I would do so. The opportunity has yet to present itself and I think you are just looking for confrontation with this question. Perhaps you or someone you love are in need of a donation.....I don't know what has prompted you to leave this question, but I hope you aren't personally affected. I am not a "Christ Cultist" but I am a Christian and I will pray for you and your need, also for a softening of your heart. Peace & prayers for you.....

If Adam and Eve hadn't eaten the apples, the last part of your question would be true; but unfortunately they did eat the apples and all of mankind is cursed with sin.
Dont see you donating any organs
Yes it does seem easy for you to attack christians becuase your life is going down the drain.
Yes there are people helping but you completly by pass the fact that we're human too; not God like Jesus is
Yes if this was a christian nation we hopefully woulnt need demand for life saving organs; but if you would step out of your little mouse hole and open your eyes and ears, you would notice that not every bodies christian.

I understand why someone would not want to give up something to make their life harder, but what I don't understand is why people do not sign up to be an organ donor after they die. There is nothing there you will ever use again. Why not help someone who is living. And especially if you are a christian.

Are you standing outside of every hospital taking names and asking what religion they are or if they are before donating anything?
I didn't think so. How in the world would you know who does and does not donate parts of themselves?
Besides, most of the things that you are on a waiting list for are things people have to die before they can donate anyway. So this is just a dumb thing to say.

Christ layed down his life voluntarily, he didnt tell us to. You are also mistaken on the numbers that donate. Donations are done all the time, and people are regularly saved. There are shortages at times of specific organs, because without intimately knowing someone all humans are fearful of being cut open. We're talking normal human reactions here, nothing deeper.

This is just a one-sided closed-minded rant. There are hundreds and thousands of donors. While you are on here babbling we are saving lives. How do you expect there to be zero demand when new people need help every day? You don't make sense.

Prisoners have few rights above being secure against merciless and unusual punishment, it truly is totally subjective and as a lot as in spite of society makes a decision merciless and unusual to be. in spite of the reality that certainly creepy, and that i'd not favor to entice close if I received blood, marrow, or an organ from a killer, it truly is a attractive theory. to construct upon it, instead of imposing the inability of existence penalty on the most extreme of legal offenders, why not instead shop them alive and healthful and require that they donate blood, platelets, and marrow as oftentimes as conceivable, to boot as donate any organs or parts of organs (ie liver) that they could stay without? that could want to fairly be a lot less merciless than killing them. in the experience that they take position to be terrified of needles, dope them up.

In a sense I think you are right but a normal person doesn't just wake up and say "I'm going to give my kidney to someone I don't know today."
Have you gave a kidney and bone marrow?

wrong
as you obviously know little or nothing of scripture, let me help!
Jesus clearly said,"Let the dead care for the dead"
And because you are analyzing with your physical minded way of thinking, again I'll explain.
The living in the eyes of God are those that recognize Him, and accept that he sent his son for the necessary sacrifice.
The dead? are all the doubters, adulterers, murderers, liars, generally everyone that has no faith.
Now for the flip side. Why are not all the atheist and non believers doing the kidney/organ donations?
What are you doing?
Do you not realize that if someone temporarily 'saves' someones life through organ donation yet that person never responds to the good news of God's Kingdom, the organ donation was nothing more than a bandage on a mortally wounded person?
RE: details.
If you are an atheist of what concern is it to you what a person of any religion does?
Why not join an atheist basketball team and await your death?
