On the other hand, if you're already on the battlefield...
Praying in that situation splits your attention from staying the fuck alive and is not recommended.
I have never prayed to god and I've never been in a plane crash.
I am constantly praying to god, and I've never been in a plane crash. Checkmate atheists!
I say "jesus christ" about a lot of things. Does that count as praying?
So this person believes their god wants people to be in fear and panic, begging for their lives, and to die anyway? Thats so fucked up.
Christian God is a narcissist and will burn you for eternity for not praising him properly. This is nothing new.
God breaks his own rules in the ten commandments. God tells us not to be jealous of our neighbors while describing himself as a jealous god.
While true, christians have been sidestepping that one, and others like it, for longer than our civilization has been a nascent idea. They just say the laws that apply to man don't apply to god. It's not even that difficult of a conclusion. See: God causes a crack in the earth to swallow up an entire family because they sinned? A-ok. Can a man kill someone and their family because they sinned? Nope, have to follow the laws about it, written in some book called leshitticus or something, idk.
Yes, that’s straight up how the Abrahamic God is described in scripture
"I have no evidence for any of this but I know in my heart it's true!"
Sums up all major religions in one sentence.
These facts don't align with my feelz.
According to the most recent studies, it turns out the name of God is
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"
I heard one black box where the pilot’s final words were just a very resigned, almost conversational, “Goddamnit.”
I heard one where the pilot exclaimed "we're doing it!" [or something similar] as he managed to fly the 747 inverted, seconds before hitting the ocean.
Is this supposed to make me believe in God? As if people who die in a plane crash know more about the universe than me somehow? Does falling really fast instill some ancient forgotten knowledge in you?
I think you may have missed the bottom text
I’m pretty sure there are at least four where the last thing on them is “allahu akbar”
Praying is wishing, It has the same effect. Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't. It gives us comfort, because our brains are wired like that, if we can't get what we want, maybe some authority can give it to us by asking nicely. Expressing it soothes us. It's like screaming HELP! when you fell down a well. It's not aimed at anyone in particular, it's just a cry for anyone or anything to help you, because you're desperate.
Shit, cats do that. Do they also pray to god?
Shit, cats do that. Do they also pray to god?
Yes, and even God can't understand what is it that they want this time.
Shit, cats do that. Do they also pray to god?
Why would cats pray to themselves?
Yes, a large percentage of the population is religious, that doesn't make their religion true
My favourite part is how people thank God for surviving a disaster. Like, your God put you there and you’re thanking it for saving you from the disaster it put you in? Lol
Yeah. "This violent tornado missed my home so close! Oh thank you, god!"
Noone ever asks why their god created the tornado in the first place. Not even the neighbor whose house has been obliterated. He's probably thanking god for being alive. It's bizarre.
HiS wAyS aRe MyStErIoUs
This mfer has never heard of selection bias.
What are the bets they're in the US, and hearing about crashes mostly in the US?
Christianity may be the largest religion in the world, but it's a plurality, not a majority.
"Are all our prayers answered? Yes, they are. What people who ask that question often don’t realize is that sometimes the answer to our prayer is "no." Dear God, please make my mother not be crazy. God’s answer: no. Dear God, please let me recover from cancer. God’s answer: no. Dear God, please take away this toothache. God’s answer: alright, but you’re going to be run over by a car."

Ok it's funny but black box doesn't record audio from the cabin. Pretty sure it just has like flight data. From the airplane sensors. And logs of actions. ?
That's what satanic media wants you to think. But actually, everyone on a plane has a microphone and all the audio goes directly to the big black cube in the middle, to be recorded and stored forever.
Actually, I've seen a compilation of plane crash last recordings, and literally all of them are pilots screaming at each other to maneuver and/or cursing at the top of their lungs.
What's hilarious is proof that religious propaganda is wrong is always extremely easy to find. Yet your dipshit demented christian grandparents or parents will regurgitate that trash non-stop anyway.
Is that the same god who chose pedo Antoinette the horse dick sucking Russian traitor?
The ones who prayed to Satan were saved.
I'd hedge my bets too if I knew I had mere minutes to live. I stand to lose nothing and I gain comfort at the end, regardless of whether or not I am rewarded with some kind of afterlife.
Unless you pray to the wrong entity and suddenly don't pass the "good person test" of whatever entity judges you.
If being a good person isn't enough and worship is a must, you got a shitty God.
Well that looks like an interesting link that I will never click on. Don't feel like crying today, thanks.
