And I think the intelligent people of our country, particularly those who are members of other churches, need to be sure to offer support.

Mainly from living in the US, as compared to living in the UK and Japan. I don't pretend to know many other countries well, but that was definitely one of the greatest things about American culture. Community is certainly something the US does well. Occasionally, sure, it pushes people out, but not so much in my experience.

Just out of curiosity, were you living inside this?



If that's the case, I guess it's understandable how one might anecdotally reach this conclusion, though perhaps not scientifically accurate.

Did you want scientific accuracy? Why?

And why are you trolling this thread?

"[Murphy] received eight or nine gunshot wounds, to extremities and also to the cheek area and the neck," Edwards said. "He was in very close proximity to the shooter. When he arrived, he came upon someone who was injured, and he was going to assist that individual when the shooter came around him, close to his squad, and hit him at a close distance."

The officer was wearing a bullet proof vest, Edwards said.

After gunman Wade Page was shot and killed by other officers, they moved to rescue Murphy. But when they located him, Murphy indicated that rather than help him they should enter the temple to assist any other victims.

"He had been shot nine times -- one of them very serious in the neck area -- and he waved them off and told them to go into the temple to assist those in there," Edwards said.

however in the usa the sikh would be carried from the burning building by an eagle, who would then tear out his own kidneys and implant them into the sikh, at expense of his own life.

I mean, I could list several explanations, but you're being really vague here.
