God saves dipshit taligater that isn't even smart enough to fasten his own seatbelt!

In other news, people still starving to death in the 3rd world.....

Amie

No. He believing God is in control does not demean anything, it simply means that he felt God was in control and he lived to tell about it because of that...
I don't know all of the why's and whats of every situation but I trust in God...

I think there is harm in that. If this guy thinks God is going to save him every time he gets in an accident he might not bother to wear his seatbelt. Someday he's going to go flying through his windshield to a painful, mangled death. Even worse, he won't teach his kids to wear their seatbelts.


You don't understand all of God's motivations but you trust him anyway? Sounds like you're asking to be taken advantage of. Even if I believed God existed I wouldn't trust him.

Amie

Thats a big "If". He felt in the situation God was in control however God being in control does not negate ones responsibility to safety and to adhere to the laws of the land.
Yes I do trust in God. I don't believe he will take advantage of me.

I wonder who would be praising God had he grabbed the wrong power line, you know the ones that are live and send tens of thousands of volts of electricity through you body when you touch it, you know the kind that fry you from the inside out?

It was dumb luck and quick thinking by this guy, along with the efforts put forth by the RESCUE team. Had he been in some desolate area where help could not or would not reach him in time he would eventually have fallen to his death, or to serious bodily injury quite possibly handicapping him for life.

If God was in control of this situation, let me just say that this God, whomever or whatever it/she/he/they is ... is rather impotent. This GOD needed a damned, human rescue crew to bring this stupid idiot down! You know ... the same God that created the whole f*in Universe with the wave of a magical hand!

Awesome. Simply awesome.

Why? By your beliefs, he played tiddly-winks with that kid in the news article. How do you know he won't get bored some afternoon, or make some strange bet with satan, and decide to see what happens if he turns Amie inside out, or makes her feet bloat up to twice their normal size, or makes her toilet explode at an inopportune time and launch her 100 feet into the air? Will it prove that he is a benificent god if he also provides a fortuitously placed trampoline or expert paramedic to help you out at the last minute?

Amie

I trust in God because I believe in him.
The person who had the experience believed "God is in control" how on earth can that be a negative thing? He may learn from the experience, wear a seatbelt, drive safer, but it certainly does not make it a bad thing that he believes God helped him.
I think God would have better things to do than placing bets with satan, thats just silly. I use to be a paramedic and I helped people who felt that God intervened to save them in car accidents, motorcycles down, drug overdoses. Who am I to say God didn't help them? they believe he did. There is ABSOLUTELY no harm in that pz.

Reread Job.

I'm assuming you have never read the book of Job if you are making this statement.

Edit: Dangit. Godless Dave beat me to it.
