I was going to go with "God smites group spreading hate in His name" but this one is funnier.

The Lord works in mysterious ways, be careful what you pray for, etc.

I was going to make a joke about gay orgies being distracting for pilots, but one of the people on the plane was a girl. So much for that theory. Bisexual orgies then.

So what sort of group is this? "Relentless Pursüt" sounds like some sort of Heavy Metal band.

I think I see why God decided to smite them. Link

One survivor.

How long before someone's claiming his survival was a miracle?

How big an ego do you have to have to believe that God singled you out to survive? God loves everyone, but you, you're special. The other four didn't make the cut.

I'm told when you die early that god really needed you in heaven. I'm not sure for what, since heaven is supposed to be perfect. And I can't figure out why a god would need anything either.

"Please pray for all of the families that lost loved ones and for Hannah in the hospital. Pray for God's peace to be with all of them and pray for Hannah's healing," Oral Roberts President Mark Rutland said on the university's Facebook page.

Well, God cause the plane to crash and injure this girl in the first place, right?
For what reason would you want to pray to a god who kills innocent people?
Boredom? Amusement? Masochism?

That already happened last week. The group's founder and the father of the survivor described her survival as a miracle.

http://www.christianpost.com/news/sol e-survivor-hannah-luce-recoverin g -from-plane-crash-75058/

Hannah Luce, daughter of Teen Mania founder Ron Luce, is continuing to improve as she recovers from a plane crash last Friday. She was the sole survivor among the five on board.

"The fact that Hannah is here with us is a miracle, and while I am overjoyed and so thankful to God that she's here, I am also deeply saddened at the loss of Austin, Stephen, Garrett and Luke," Ron Luce wrote Tuesday on his blog. "I can't even begin to understand the pain their parents are feeling right now."

Ron Luce said in a statement. "They all had a heart for this generation, and were passionately pursuing God's call on their lives."

Which I guess was dying horribly in a plane crash?

Also, it's all about satanism at altitude. But then, isn't everything?

My church used to go to this. I'm actually really relieved that I never went now. Thanks to that, I may be a 22 year old womanizing dick, but at least I'm not a 22 year old, hypocritical womanizing dick.

Killed were the pilot Luke F. Sheets, 23

Um, it's not like he's taking the Ford station wagon on a road trip. He's flying a farking plane with 5 people in it! How many hours could this KID have under his belt?

en route to a Christian youth conference plane crash

There is no God.

my headline for this story last week (when it happened) was something along the lines of:
4 out of 5 members of group going to attend Christian youth rally 'Acquire the Fire'... exceed expectations.

Praise Him when the good things happened. And never question Him when horrible things happen, that was His will.

Or blame the gays.

In 1996 Teen Mania relocated from Tulsa, Oklahoma to Garden Valley, Texas, purchasing the property that was formerly the location of Keith Green's Last Days Ministries.

Along with eleven others, Keith Green died on July 28, 1982, when the Cessna 414 leased by Last Days Ministries crashed after takeoff from the private airstrip located on the LDM property.

Land probably has a grave site on it.

I assume that 'Acquire the Fire' is a reference to the fact that most attendees come back with an STD or two.

Live your life in a way that glorifies God. Do good. Help others.

"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."


My god does not kill children.

A long long time ago
I can still remember how
That Oral Roberts used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
To tell sinful people not to dance
That maybe they'd be happy for a while
But homosexuals made me shiver
With news the President delivered
Bad news came from socialists
I had to catch the fire to resist
I can't remember if I cried
When the preacher took me by his side
But something touched me deep inside
That day, at Oral Roberts University

I just like how all of these Christian groups have private planes to ferry them around wherever they need to go. Very humble of them, I'm sure.
