Look, look at this. We got Hurricane Grace moving north off the Atlantic seaboard. Huge, getting massive. Two: this low south of Sable Island, ready to explode. Look at this. Three: a fresh cold front swooping down from Canada. But it’s caught a ride on the jet stream, and is motoring hell-bent towards the Atlantic. What if Hurricane Grace runs smack into it? Add to the scenario this baby off Sable Island, scrounging for energy. She’ll start feeding off both the Canadian cold front, and Hurricane Grace. You could be a meteorologist all your life and never see something like this. It would be a disaster of epic proportions. It would be… the perfect storm.

All I know is, on the day your plane was to leave, if I had the power, I would turn the winds around, I would roll in the fog, I would bring in storms, I would change the polarity of the earth so compasses couldn’t work, so your plane couldn’t take off.

I don’t care whether you’re Jesus or not. The resurrected Jesus will save the world and that’s what matters. I created the truth out of what people needed and what they believed. If I have to crucify you to save the world, then I’ll crucify you. And if I have to resurrect you, then I’ll do that, too.
