"God took Gately for a reason"
Shane Lynch has reportedly said that his Boyzone bandmate Stephen Gately died for a reason.
The singer admitted that although he is still coming to terms with the tragic loss, 'life doesn't stand still' for anyone. Lynch, 33, told The Sun: "I've got faith and respect for God - God doesn't make mistakes. So therefore, I've got to understand that it's all for a reason. If I don't understand why then one day I'll be told - but not right now." What a pile of unutterable excrement. |

I stongly disgaree with the article
"So he was suppose to choke on his own vomit and die" - What a load of crap personally. He died of something that was easily preventable. But i respect his views, i guess. |

He died of a pulmonary oedema, due to an undetected hear condition. It goes to prove how easily people believe that they read in The Sun before a post mortem had even been carried out though! |

I reckon he thinks God's a Boyzone fan.

The weak minded always have to blame some fairytale character...get some professional help mate. He died. End of. If you wish to believe that was part of some 'higher being's' plan, good for you.
Meanwhile, back in reality... |

Coming to terms with the death of someone who was close to you is very hard. I hope Mr Lynch manages to do that and move on with his life.

The bit I really have a problem with is "God doesn't make mistakes"... in which case it's all garbage and god doesn't exist, or god is really a horrid, vengeful, crippling, killing, thing.

Apologies about that. Although i don't read into deaths too much because it does actually make me sad.

Sounds like a man still struggling to come to terms with and find reasoning for the sudden death of his friend - so of course a fine target for a bitchy comment about how he's talking crap.

It's amazing how "being religious" is the great big excuse for talking all manner of drivel.
I too hope that Mr Lynch comes to terms with his friend's untimely death. The human body is a complicated and unreliable thing. |

Is being atheist an excuse for attacking the comments of someone struggling to get over the death of a loved one?

Several of my friends are religious and i respect them. But i don't believe God took Gatley for a reason. I am sorry but i do disagree. Anyway, I am ending my point there

Thats no-ones fault. |

I am sure if God exists he may have more to worry about than the fate of Stephen Gately.

People, abruptly saying things like 'It would matter, but God doesn't exist' is borderline religious intolerance, due to the fact that this is the person's belief, what gives you the right to say God doesn't exist in response to someone after comfort following the death of a close friend. Yes, there is free speech, but if you were to rephrase your reply to 'I personally don't believe God exists' as opposed to 'God doesn't exist'.
Just for you to take note, as I think its not at all nice to criticise someone's beliefs in the matter of death, everybody should be open to opinions though. Also, saying 'I have numerous friends who are religious' reminds me of people saying 'I have numerous friends who are gay', in response to being called homophobic. ![]() Anyways, on that note, I do think 'if' God exists, he'd have much more to deal with than a pop star I think.

I don't think it really matters. I don't believe in God at all, but Shane Lynch clearly does. He and Stephen appear to have been very close, Shane Lynch has lost one of his best friends, and if God and religion are helping him to come to terms with his loss, then that's good.
