Or Oral Roberts’ 900 ft tall one.
Is this a whoosh?
I mean, it sounds exactly like the sort of hateful spew that Pat comes up with.
Of course it’s a whoosh. What was I thinking?
Never mind.
I think it would be desirable that the pastor be told that some are affronted by the facile, grade-school theology behind such phrases.
They’re having a “My Jesus is bigger than yours!” contest? :eek:
Well, that’s a good point, except that I suspect Pat’s not the kind of person who really listens much. My dad is much the same way. He’s extremely straight-up, and doesn’t even speed (it’s kind of a big deal with him), but I think he still uses Christianity a bit as a belief grid instead of a relationship. This matters, because when you’re in a real relationship, you seek out the other person’s input. People are complicated, and it’s possible to be right on many things and still be stubborn and selfish.
What did god have against those pilots?
Actually, he hates LearJet; the pilots were just collateral damage.
I don’t see what difference it would have made if he was in the plane when he crashed. If that was the case, he’d have just lifted the wreckage, tossed it aside, and jogged home with a pilot under each arm and the blackbox in his jaws.
Since Pat wasn’t there, I suppose it can be said that there were no snakes on that plane.
Well yes if God wants him dead, he’s dead. As to if it’s part of a plan, I can’t say. There is an element of free will involved here and I think it’s not so much as God making things happen as it is not actively preventing them. If he tolerated Hitler on this earth, old Pat is chump change.
