I get the impression he hasn't thought much about the negative publicity that will be created by a Jesus freak losing against gravity.

Gravity always seems to win eventually.

Quote:In the following years, Karl developed some of the most amazing acts like the seven-person chair pyramid. They continued performing those acts until 1962, when, while performing at the Shrine Circus at Detroit's State Fair Coliseum, the front man on the wire faltered and the pyramid collapsed. Three men fell to the ground, killing Richard Faughnan, Wallenda's son-in-law; and nephew Dieter Schepp. Karl injured his pelvis, and his adopted son, Mario, was paralyzed from the waist down.

Other tragedies include when Wallenda's sister-in-law, Rietta, fell to her death in 1963, and his son-in-law Richard ("Chico") Guzman was killed in 1972 after touching a live electric wire while holding part of the metal rigging. Nonetheless, Karl decided to go on. He repeated the pyramid act in 1963 and 1977. Karl continued performing with a smaller group, and doing solo acts.

Karl Wallenda crossed the Tallulah Gorge in Georgia on a high wire on July 18, 1970.

On March 22, 1978, during a promotional walk in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Karl Wallenda fell from the wire and died. It was between the towers of Condado Plaza Hotel, 10 stories high. He was 73.

Far more powerful than fucking jesus.

From Nik Wallenda's wiki article:

Quote:Several members of the family have lost their lives while training or performing. In 1962, the troupe's famous seven-person pyramid collapsed, killing two family members and paralyzing Wallenda's uncle Mario. In 1978, Karl Wallenda died after falling from a tight rope at age 73 in Puerto Rico.

I guess Jebus didn't like them as much.

If he keeps doing this it's not going to end well. And then all the Christians will shake their head and say, "God works in mysterious ways."

I was laughing at him the whole time, and my wife was like, "Why is that funny?" I told her that he should wait to thank Jesus until it's all over and he's still alive.

Did anyone notice that Joel Osteen was there? That's the kind of fundie nutball this dude was.

I almost started getting a little uncomfortable with all of his praising Jesus, because it was almost getting erotic. It reminded me of this...

So I'm not the only one who noticed he was gettin all up in Jesus' asshole
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

People do crazy things when they believe god is on their side. Nothing they do can be wrong, nothing bad can happen to them, if they die they'll be in heaven with god. It's impossible for them to keep themselves in check if they truly truly believe.

Btw, I have a bad habit of saying "thank god" when something really really bad happens and I get away with it. I wonder if i should put effort into correcting it, do you think it matters?

Naw. It just means that you were raised in a christianity based culture.
