When I die I want all you to chip in for the "staplermofo memorial stapler museum and brothel", unless it's far enough into the future that "sexporium" doesn't sound hokey.
I'm leaving my entire estate to it, which should finance a pretty nice cardboard box for the staplers. I expect you guys to take care of the rest.

I have hypertensive brain damage, venous stasis and a host of doctors telling me I should be dead.
Feel free to donate money, buildings or legal help now. The staplermofo memorial stapler museum and brothel foundation thanks you.

Stupid kid. I'd be all about the pity sex from supermodels.

Why?

what kind of supermodel?

I'm not sure why, but I found this hilarious. Quirky humor: I love it.

I'd have gone with pity sex from the dolphins.

Well doesn't that just make you as closed minded as the super-religious types you appear to detest?

I'm lucky to get pity sex from myself.

Hey man, I'm not religious at all, but I don't hate on people who are. If it made him happier to have a god to look to, then all the power to him. It helped him focus on positive aspects and not negative ones. He helped people when he died.

How do you have a problem with this?

Way to not refute the point that Quantum Apostrophe makes at all, and instead go on a wharrgarble rant.

It is. In the real picture she's not quite so chunky.

Intelligent design!

"My mom came out 10 minutes later and gave me a big hug and kiss," John wrote later in a journal he started keeping. "I was stumped. What was wrong? My mom told me I had a tumor then, and that is when my journey with God began."

If God wanted an orphanage so bad couldn't he just send the kid a vision?

Reading a story about a great kid who happened to believe in God is mental torture? Give me a farking break.

"It is morally as bad not to care whether a thing is true or not, so long as it makes you feel good, as it is not to care how you got your money as long as you have got it."

- Edmund Way Teale

For my dying wish, I would like to be buried alongside my first wife. Even if you have to bury her kicking and screaming.

Touching story and all (we've built a school in Ghana)...but in this day and age people need to learn: God will not save you from your tumor. And faith healers be damned.

However it came about, the kid set something good in motion. Good for him. Too bad most of us do nothing of the sort our entire lives.

Yeah! You tell him! High five!

That's a pretty amazing story and I'm a biatchoked up.

Also, this is a 15 year old who had a tumor in his brain, and chose to spend what little time he had left helping poor children he'll never meet. Those of you making this about how smart you are because you're an atheist or agnostic, and have, from the comfort of your mothers basement, reasoned things out that a 15 year old who was dying could not, are totally awesome. Pat yourselves on the back, you are the height of reason and logic. You totally schooled this dying child. Awesome.

gamempire: God will not save you from your tumor.

I just had a mental image of an old man with a beard and a white robe wielding a sword and shield doing battle with a tumor carrying a net and trident. And it was awesome.

Just thought you all should know.

FTFY. But really, a finalist in Auschwitz' Top Model?

Oooh an orphanage in Nairobi, do we have a "pissing into the wind" tag?

Should have done the supermodels (assuming such a thing was really on offer), it would have been more likely to have lasting societal change and positive influence on the world.

+1. Regardless of your feelings about Christianity, this kid took his fatal illness and used it to save people who would otherwise die.

I hope someday I have that much character.

Though I could do without the brain cancer.

I love fark for the comments.

Guys, i'm as non-religious as they come, but I dont understand the hate going on here. This guy is the most hardcore mofo ive ever heard of, ffs! yes, he may have gotten the idea from a church, but as long as the orphanage isn't also a mission/conversion center, I don't see the problem here.

The kid has done the world a net good with his dying wish. I hope that i might be HALF as badass as this kid was.

Good for the kid, may he rest in peace, but really... I don't think this has anything to do with god. It would have been just as nice a deed without the churchy overtone in the article.

God works in mysterious and prickish ways. Like how have the boy's mom cancer in the song Christmas Shoes just to teach the singer a lesson about the meaning of Christmas.

1. Nice try.
2. Believing in God doesn't make you a "super-religious" type. Where did you get that idea? I'm afraid you read all sorts of hate into my comment that wasn't there.

Please don't think Quantum speaks for atheists, and we won't think Pat Robertson speaks for all religious folks.

CAN WE...uh......get more details on the pity sex from supermodels?

The issue that I (and probably other atheists) have with this is that now people will point to the situation as the epitome of the strong moral fiber that Christians have, when in reality it has nothing, really, to do with it. Sure, he was a hell of a kid who happened to believe in God, but not because he believed in God. If you can't be a good person without God, well, there was never much hope for you in the first place.

have = he gave. I need to lay off the nog.

fair play to the kid, but surely IF there IS a 'god', that 'god' is responsible for all those africans starving to death. stop interfering with 'god's' work, kid.

Got a legitimate criticism, instead of puerile whining??

Interesting choice for a teenager - nothing for himself but a wish for kids he would never meet. Very unselfish - now that's different in this day when everyone is out for themselves first. Good for him.

/Hot like the models he passed up.

Ringshadow: Good for the kid, may he rest in peace, but really... I don't think this has anything to do with god. It would have been just as nice a deed without the churchy overtone in the article.

The kid seemed really religious from the quotes, so considering the tone is from he child, IMO that's not really a preachy article. It reads the way a religious child would want it to: He did a great deed and was inspired by his religion to do so.
