Quote by Edgar Allan Poe

A strong argument for the religion of Christ is this - that offences against Charity are about the only ones which men on their death-beds can be made - not to understand - but to feel - as crime.

A strong argument for the religion of Christ is this - that

Summary

This quote suggests that one of the strongest reasons for believing in Christianity is that the only actions people universally perceive as truly wrong on their deathbeds are those against the principles of love and kindness. It implies that even those who may disregard ethical teachings during their lives are ultimately aware of the grave moral implications of abandoning love and harming others. This observation builds a compelling case for the importance of charity and highlights its fundamental role within the Christian faith.

I hate... I hate when you die. It destroys me. I know i have no right to be so upset, because I'm not the one losing my life, but it breaks me apart inside. I'm not very good with words, and i dont know how to explain to you how i feel. I get lonely when you aren't with me. I miss you. And every time you die, a little piece of me dies with you.
