Nik Wallenda - Moron
June 18, 2012 at 2:02 pm
On Friday night Nik Wallenda walked over Niagara Falls on a tightrope (actually, a steel cable). This was a pretty impressive stunt. But what got me was during the walk he continually praised Jesus. After he finished he told a reporter that he has faith in God and blah blah blah...
I find this to be incredible given the fact that at least three of Nik Wallenda's relatives have died after falling off the high wire! (Another relative is paralyzed from a fall). And the relative who Wallenda dedicated this walk to (his grandfather, Karl Wallenda) was one of the people who died from a fall! Apparently, Jesus did nothing to protect these relatives, but Nik continues to sing his praises anyway! If you stood by and let my relatives fall to their deaths when you could have saved them.... I wouldn't be crowing about how great you are!
Imbeciles.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?

Perhaps he thought sucking up to Jesus couldn't hurt, after Jesus knocked three of his relatives to their death off the high wire.

Maybe the Wallendas that fell didn't believe in Jesus, ipso facto, they deserved it.
To be fair, however, the guy is walking a wire across Niagara Falls, so if he has to praise Thor while doing it, more power to him.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Hmmmm... I never thought of it that way! That Jesus is a real bastard, isn't he?

One day he too will be killed in one of these stunts and some jesus freak idiot will say "jesus called him to be with his family."
Really. There is no accounting for the stupidity of the religious. The biggest class of jerks going.

In that case, I guess Jesus "called him home" by pushing him off the wire. What other explanation could there be?

I saw that, and I noticed he was wearing a safety harness.
