Remember, they're only signs from god if you already agree!

Remember, they're only signs from god if you already agree!
RRRRRGGGG!

Quote:Remember the Gastonguays? This past May, 26-year-old Hannah, her 30-year-old husband Sean, his father Mike, and the couple’s daughters, 3-year-old Ardith and 8-month-old Rahab, planned to sail to Kiribati, a tiny island nation, population 100,000, some 1,300 miles south of Hawaii. They didn’t want to live in the increasingly godless United States anymore due to “abortion, homosexuality [and] the state-controlled church.”
The five set sail for their exotic destination but were later found to have “zero knowledge and experience in navigation.” Inevitably, they suffered one mishap after another. With their boat badly battered after a string of Pacific squalls and storms plus a collision with a Canadian cargo ship, the family ran out of supplies but managed to survive on some juice, honey, and what fish they could catch. Then the deck started separating from the hull, and the boat filled with water constantly. After 91 days of half-sailing, half-drifting, a helicopter had to airlift them to safety.

Yeah, remember these dickholes? Well, apparently their allergic reaction to reality hasn't abated, 'cause they're going to try again! Their new plan is so delightfully American: it's the old plan, but with a bigger boat and more food! If you can call "drift aimlessly in the ocean, wasting taxpayer money on rescues and needlessly endangering children" a plan of any kind.

Just goes to show, things are only signs from the almighty if they happen to align with beliefs you already hold! So much for all that "submission to christ" stuff, it's really all about people, in the end.

Well, Noah did it, so why can't they?

LESSON LEARNED!

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

They are not true believers - they just want to win a Darwin award.

That reminds me. I wanted to rewatch Mosquito Coast. I love that movie. Probably Harrison Ford's best performance.

Yeah, because the problem wasn't having zero navigational or sailing skill, it was not having a large enough boat.

You have to wonder at what point does Jesus say, "Fuck it. Even I can't save these assholes."

The sad part is that they want to leave a country which not only has nearly total religious freedom for Christians, but Christianity has been forced into government and almost every aspect of society. And yet, somehow the country is not Christian enough for these assholes because they can't force everyone else to follow their narrow view of morality. Then they hope to end up on an island where people aren't Christian because somehow that's better than living in a predominantly Christian society. So much so that they're willing to risk their lives a second time.

I say we're better off without them, and hopefully more will follow them out of the country.

You know what. I agree. I don't want these two dickheads living in my country either. And their fucking kids will probably grow up to be assholes too, so fuck them.

And if a call comes into to rescue them, switch off the receiver.
