'All those prayers, God heard them and he answered them'
So said Jean Theoret while recovering after his race boat flipped and
he was drowning. http://madisoncourier.com/main.asp?S...icleID=5 1759 "However, Theoret also believes there were other powers at work in his ability to survive the crash - a higher being. As a man of sincere faith and devotion to God, Theoret believes the power of prayer also played a huge role in his fate." hmm, "Christian Fundies" race boats too? |

It's amazing how much respect racers seem to have. Folks who live on the edge seem to be that way. At every race, there is a riders meeting before the day starts, every meeting ends with a prayer which everyone in the crowd seems to respect, bowing their heads and ending with an Amen. I know they all are not believers, but just tolerant. At the same time, it does seem to be a very republican crowd (still have not met a hard liberal there, most admittedly are republicans in their big ass motorhomes) so tolerance and discretion is the rule... What gets me sometimes is folks who won't tolerate others beliefs and would even sue someone to keep us from having that small moment before we go out and risk life and limb. I mean, even if you don't believe, what if you are wrong? Would it hurt to bow your head and say amen, sort of hedge your bet? I don't think so... Now, if you live your life in a small bubble with everything handed to you like someone who must going nuts on this thread, making your living off the backs of good hard working men.... ah, but who cares, I don't see it (pink army posts) anyway?

Not, not even interested but I imagine it must be somewhat comical... I must admit, I clicked over to google a couple of days back and saw two posts. One said something like "two idiots" and the other refered to "retards". Nothing new, nothing interesting. It really is much better without them and no, I don't keep or review logs...

You can easily have the filter NOT log the posts that it stopped. I guess Harry doesn't know that, because he complains like a baby that he has to go in and clean it up!!! |

I didn't see anything in the news article that indicates he is a Christian fundie. Surely you don't believe "sincere faith and devotion to god" is limited to Christian fundies? More significant, people are entitled to believe whatever they want or whatever they are taught. Many times, though, that creates problems for others. Galileo Galilei spent the last 10 years of his life under house arrest because he wouldn't stop speaking out and publishing in favor of heliocentrism. Those of "sincere faith and devotion to god" imprisoned him. Just the other day a religious fundie who apparently sits on a country board stated several times at a public meeting that the earth was 6,000 years old. I don't believe that people who hold such views and proclaim them publicly have any business holding jobs or appointments of public trust. I wonder how many actual, real, practicing scientists share that view? |
