Shackman,

First, the issue of "off topic"

It is one thing to barge into a forum and start to argue a certain belief system. That has the effect of stirring up controversy when everybody was just enjoying their hobby. Nobody likes that. But that isn't what you did.

I would hate to believe that anyone would ever feel like they could not, should not, do exactly what you have just done.. to pour out a heartfelt request to friends and acquantances for whatever support they feel inclined to give. Some will respond with prayer, some with comforts of other sorts. I am glad you spoke up; it is the essence of faith... not only in God , but also in the belief that community (however anyone chooses to define it) affects us all, and we all affect the community.

Second, the issue at hand:
This must be extrememly stressful for you... not only in terms of dealing with your brother in law's death, but also knowing that he is leaving this world with the firm belief that there is no afterlife. The implications of getting that wrong are pretty high, and you are understandably concerned because you love him. So as I see it, there is more than one prayer request here. If you want to talk privately, click my name, follow the profile and send a PM. May God strengthen you and your family during this time of loss.

Romans 8:18
