Death by thrill seeking

Once again, the use of guns have created the needless dead of a teenager:

A teenager has died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head after losing a game of Russian roulette on his back porch in Florida.
17-year-old Thorin Montgomery was the first of four friends hold a gun with a single bullet inside it to his head and pull the trigger - but the gamble didn’t pay off and the .38 calibre bullet entered his skull.
The incident occurred at around 7.45pm on Friday night as Thorin spent the night with friends.
It's believed they were playing Russian roulette – where you put a single bullet in a gun's chamber, spin it, then pull the trigger while aiming at your own head – for a thrill.

Well, he just didn't lose the game, he lost his life. Stupidity to the max:

The game originated in Russia and was made famous in the film The Deer Hunter starring Robert de Niro and Christopher Walken.
Although deaths from Russian roulette aren't common, the majority of people killed while playing the game are men aged under 30. 

People, it was a movie. If everybody would take to the skies after seeing Superman, there would be a lot of people dead!!!!

Disgraceful. I just can think of the parents, that they have to not only face up for the loss of their son, but also the stupidity that took him from them.

Washing sins with cold water. As if the blood of Jesus wasn't enough!!

For the Russian Orthodox, they have a tradition that if they go into the cold water on Epiphany (their Epiphany, was this last week),hat by going into the water, one of the benefits they get is that their sin will be forgiven.

Just another example as to how wrong people are, and how they try to save themselves, and don't rely on the grace and mercy of God through Jesus.

Total disregard for Jesus' sacrifice.

Ephesians 1:7New International Version (NIV)⁷ In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace

What really bothers me, is that apparently, even their priest are ignorant of the work of Jesus, and still go down themselves into the water.

Total disgrace, and an insult to their "vocation".
