7 y/o sole survivor in plane crash (1 Viewer)

[matuski]

Weird thread.

I'm not religious, but not anti-religion. Not sure why people have a problem with other people's beliefs

The OP lobbied his opinion about the tragedy right from the get go, instead of just posting the story. Sorry, I found it insulting .

Insulting ? Really. ? Fishing or you are soft.

Her mom, her dad, her sister, her cousin all killed and the OP makes this a testimony to his god.

The questions asked are fairly obvious to follow.

SO lets say you believe in god - wouldn't you say the family is better off with god?

Wow. This is still thread is still going on?? We all have a time is up imo. Unfortunately for some it's way too soon and/or tragic. For others it's well into old age. That's the way God works or the world would remain as is. Sucks but that is part of life. I've experienced tragedy close to home too when my uncle at the age of 37 drowned in his car in 1993. Tragic accident. It was his time as tough as it was. His wife was 8 months pregnant with their first child. You know what? His daughter now is a successful writer in Iran, in honor of her dad. She found purpose in the tragedy of not having ever met her dad. So while it's horrible and initially it's I hate God and why me and all this..... we thank God that the wife who was beyond distraught did not end her life (and her unborn baby's) back when we were getting news that she didn't want to live anymore, and meant it. My cousin is the last remnant we have of my beloved uncle and I'm so thankful that she is here as I am my uncle's wife who got remarried 10 years later and is happy in life. My family has embraced both of them even tighter and they are very special to us.

When a little girl losing everything in her life is presented as a testimony to how said god is "looking down on her"... I'll go with no.

Bunch of d1cks here in this thread.

What do you expect, especially if I started the thread? I should have left God out of it but had to write how I thought as part of this tragedy. Thoughts and prayers to that little girl and her family. Tragic accidents are the worse...

Yea, I never understand why people feel the need to #### all over someones beliefs.

I guess it makes them feel better about themselves?

Exactly. If you aren't "big" in your home life then you easily can be on an anonymous message board. Much to some's chagrin, it doesn't hurt or bother me.

The point I was trying to make is the survivors, his wife and kid, are now doing well when they thought no way in hell and they didn't want to go on in life either. Everything they do now is in his memory which makes them stronger. I wish the same for this young girl, that she can do the same and battle through ok these tough times.

I didn't realize I'm drowning. Just because I post something with my thoughts in which many of you don't get and fire insults and such back at me does not make me feel like I'm drowing at all. I didn't post my thought with God included to try and convince all of you to think like me. If I was worried about that I would have left it out as I'm very aware of how threads get derailed.

I haven't fired an insult, and you have made no attempt to explain your logic (beliefs).

Which of course how most religious debates go.. the valid and to the point questions go unanswered as somehow being "insults".

 

[Joe T]

Some serious dooshfacing in here. Just when I get a good vibe from this place (ie bigbottom raffle), some guys find a way to drag it back down.

Hint: This has nothing to do with your religious beliefs and everything to do with the value of the life of the little girl that was spared.

God did wait until Josef Mengele was 67 before he killed him with an ocean, so maybe he does have his hand on the lever.

Outside of religion, I can't think of a single place where attempts to cut to the heart of the matter are treated as taboo. Never ceases to baffle me.

I'm not fishing. I was raised Catholic. I am not now nor was I ever religious. With that being said I will ask a question:

Why is it ok to thank God for saving the little girl but wrong to blame God for allowing the rest to die?

No that is not how God works. The foundation of Christianity is original sin, which gave His creation freewill but denied us all of His Glory. God doesn't mettle in the daily lives of His creation on Earth the way the Greeks and Romans believed their gods did. God doesn't choose to kill some and spare others.

Maybe you can come up with a new scam to make money off of this though.

"Dear lord baby Jesus or as our brothers to the south call you, Jesus, we thank you so much for this bountiful harvest of Domino's, KFC and the always delicious Taco Bell. I just want to take time to say thank you for my family: my two beautiful, beautiful handsome, striking sons Walker and Texas Ranger or T.R. as we call him and of course my red-hot smoking wife, Carley who is a stone-cold fox. Who if you were to rate her ### on 100, it would easilly be a 94. Also wanna thank you for my best friend and teammate, Cal Naughton Jr who's got my back no batter what."

Cal: "Shake and Bake."

Ricky: "Dear Lord baby Jesus, we also thank you for my wife's father, Chip. We hope that you can use your baby Jesus powers to heal him and his horrible leg. And it smells terrible and the dogs are always bothering with it. Dear, tiny infant Jesus, we--"

Carley: "Hey, um, you know, sweetie, Jesus did grow up. You don't always have to call him, 'baby.' It's a bit odd and off-putting to pray to a baby."

Ricky: "Well, I like the Christmas Jesus best and I'm saying grace. When you say grace, you can say it to grownup Jesus or teenage Jesus or bearded Jesus, or whoever you want."

Carley: "You know what I want? I want you to do this grace good, so that God will let us win tomorrow."

Ricky: "Dear tiny Jesus in your golden-fleece diapers, with your tiny, little, fat, balled-up fists pawing at the air..."

Chip (Ted Manson): "He was a man. He had a beard."

Ricky: "Look, I like the baby version the best, do you hear me? I win the races and I get the money."

Carley: "Ricky, finish the damn grace."

Cal: "I like to picture Jesus in a Tuxedo T-shirt because it says, like, 'I wanna be formal...'"

Ricky: "Right."

Cal: "'...but I'm here to party too.' 'Cause I like to party, so I like my Jesus to party."

Walker (Houston Tumlin): "I like to picture Jesus as a ninja fighting off evil samurai."

Cal: "I like to think of Jesus, like, with giant eagle's wings."

Ricky: "Yeah."

Cal: "And singing lead vocal for Lynyrd Skynyrd with, like, a angel band. And I'm in the front row and I'm hammered drunk."

Carley: "Hey, Cal? Why don't you just shut up?"

Cal: "Yes, ma'am."

Ricky: "Okay. Dear, 8-pound, 6-ounce, newborn infant Jesus, don't even know a word yet, just a little infant and so cuddly, but still omnipotent, we just thank you for all the races I've won and the 21.2 millios dollars-- Whoo!"

Cal: "Whoo!"

Carley: "Whoo!"

The Kids: "Ow!"

Ricky: "Love that money! --that I have accrued over this past season. Also due to a binding endorsement contract that stipulates I mention Powerade at each grace I just wanna say that Powerade is delicious and it cools you off os a hot summer day. And we look forward to Powerade's release of Mystic Mountain Blueberry. Thank you for all your power and your grace, dear baby God. Amen."

Carley: "Amen."

Cal: "Amen!"

Ricky: "Let's dig in!"

Cal: "That was a hell of a grace, man. You nailed that like a split hog!"

Ricky: "I appreciate that. I'm not gonna lie to you, it felt good."

For the same reason it's ok to thank somebody for a Christmas gift but wrong to complain about not getting what you really wanted. It's just not polite. Plus you might PO the Big Guy and nothing good comes from that.

I'm just spitballin' here.

What an incredible story and little girl. God was looking down on her. Had she not taken the route she did, with one sock on and barefoot on the other foot, wearing a t-shirt and shorts in 38

degree weather, she would have not made it.

Such a sad story. May God be with her in the upcoming very difficult days. :(

http://www.cnn.com/2015/01/02/us/kentucky-plane-crash/index.html

Was God looking down on her when her parents and sister were killed in the crash? So f'ng stupid

Miracles are God's work. It simply wasn't her time for she is still here for a purpose, which I'm betting will eventually be to help others in some way, as many survivors go to become.

The bad is way bigger than the good here.. this is no miracle - it is a tragedy.

Start there with your god.

Never said it's not a tragedy did I? But God did save her life. Would it have been better if she had died as well? Maybe she feels that way now but something tells me in the years ahead she will make good of her life despite it all in the name of her family.

I'm pretty sure we should be thanking Flash.Flash.

Thank God for drowning my uncle.

Wow. Just when I thought I've seen all the low blows on anonymous message boards, you take the prize on this. To actually use a real life very personal tragedy to me to insult and mock?? I have to question if you have an ounce of being a human being inside you regardless of being able to hide being a user name. Wow.

We have asked for some kind of explanation for that random rambling post about the death of your uncle and your cousin growing up fatherless which again seems to be presented as a testimony to your god.

Same request we have made about your link the OP crediting your god for events resulting in the girl losing everyone she loves.

You put these out there, then run to this martyr tactic to avoid the obvious questions that result.

We have asked

Who is this "We"

Was God looking down on her when her parents and sister were killed in the crash?

how does a god let a girl's family die around her and still get credit for it in the OP?

Why didn't God just prevent the accident in the first place?

What did God do? Sounds to me like this little girl saved herself.

So it was time for her sister to go? Did god flip a coin?

How do you know "God's work" wasn't killing off everyone else on the plane, but he was a little careless and missed on one?

And the value of the lives of those who died? Isn't that that point the OP was making?

WTF?

A whole lot of garbage thrown together here for no apparent reason?

Why is it ok to thank God for saving the little girl but wrong to blame God for allowing the rest to die?

Just a few... eh?

Weird thread.

I'm not religious, but not anti-religion. Not sure why people have a problem with other people's beliefs

Personally speaking, when those beliefs start effecting others, I have unfortunately developed 0 patience for it.

Of course people are free to believe what they want. I know people that believe (what I think is) all sorts of wacky #### - Bigfoot, Aliens, the Beatles are the best band ever, etc.. Those beliefs generally don't effect others around the person. However, we have this way of talking about religion like it is like that - people believe what they believe and who cares what they do at home? The problem is, it doesn't stay there. It is a driving force for everything from wars to laws telling us what we can do to our bodies to what we teach in schools.

In general, I think religion fosters ignorance by limiting honest debate and dialogue about a lot of things. I think it is a hurdle we need to get over to advance as a civilization. I am sure that I am not alone in that thinking, so I get it when the level of frustration boils over on these (for the most part) anonymous internet threads. I usually stay out of the religion threads but I get why people are pissed on both sides, and nothing constructive comes out of those threads.

Today is my first day back in civilization after a week with no interwebs. I click on an article about a plane crash, and I get 3 pages of religious debate. Glad to know some things never change...

Good post.

I can see being upset over the way some people have responded to this thread and hopefully some of it is trolling yet none of the more religious users have come out and answered my honest question:

Why is it ok to thank God for the good but not "blame" God for the bad?

Who said it is not okay to blame God for the bad? People do this all the time. I don't see anyone saying it is okay to do one, but not the other.
