    • Mail him a religious sympathy card with scripture quote or blank one with picture of Jesus in it.   (It might plant a seed )

    • Whether he is an atheist or not, extending your sympathy is Catholic and moral.  Comforting the afflicted is one of the spiritual works of mercy.  His (alleged/assumed/not assumed?) atheism notwithstanding, he can be truly and genuinely devastated at the loss of his wife. 
    .
    With regard to the religious "angle," you might tell him that you will pray for his comfort and perseverance.  Depending on how close you are, you might tell him that in your experience God often grants very difficult suffering to those whom He loves.  Stuff like that.

    "Be kind; do not seek the malicious satisfaction of having discovered an additional enemy to the Church... And, above all, be scrupulously truthful. To all, friends and foes alike, give that serious attention which does not misrepresent any opinion, does not distort any statement, does not mutilate any quotation. We need not fear to serve the cause of Christ less efficiently by putting on His spirit". (Vermeersch, 1913).

    Canada is super mega cucked. They should keep their cuckedism to themselves and not try to infect other "peoplekind".

    God help any sane people who happen to live there.
    Dont tar and feather ALL Canadians with the same brush. :D Generally though MOST Canadians are a sorry lot. One of many reasons I am an Alberta secessionist.  :cowboy:

    Just for theoretical purposes since it's safer to assume the people are basically atheists...... let's just suppose he's an atheist (although I'm not accusing him of actually being such).

    I specifically said I'm not assuming the guy is atheist.
    hmm...

    • Why do you care what I'm assuming or not assuming? That is a small molecule in the universe if it was a physical thing. It would be a particle of a molecule.

    Honestly, I'm tryna support this forum by bringing discussion and the OP was a random thought from a while ago.

    I don't even care about the topic.

    What I want to know is how to resurrect Hitler and get hin to enact laws that get Canadians (except Makow) off the internet.

    Canadians on the internet are a public health hazard. Canada is one of the most cucked nations on earth with countries like Sweden.

    It's not my aim in life to be like the PCified Canada folk. That's not my aim.

    And if your overly feelingscentric mind can't grasp words like "hypothetical" or "theoretical" whatever........

    If it's the thing among the cuckistanis of places like Canada and Sweden, it's what not to do.

    And if you live in Canada or Sweden and you're not that type... I'm not talking about you and I think you should live around more normal populations.

    Reasonable people say "my bad" when they realise they contradicted themselves, you just go off into more deranged ravings it seems.

    • JESUS.  JESUS. JESUS. 

    St Michael the Archangel Prayer In Latin
    Sáncte Míchael Archángele, defénde nos in proélio, cóntra nequítiam et insídias diáboli ésto præsídium. Ímperet ílli Déus, súpplices deprecámur: tuque, prínceps milítiæ cæléstis, Sátanam aliósque spíritus malígnos, qui ad perditiónem animárum pervagántur in múndo, divína virtúte, in inférnum detrúde. Ámen.
    Saint Michael the Archangel Prayer in English
    Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the malice and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.
