Is God YOUR Engine?
#11
RE: Is God YOUR Engine?
I read the article before watching the video, and the first thing that popped into my mind was, "a soldier being mocked for believing in god? Not in this fucking army." Good to see that was the first point this guy addressed.

Oh shit, I just read that "Why Women Cry" link. Is there any wonder why I am cynical about the future of the human race?

The guy in the vid asks who prays to God to help them drive?

I did once. I was helping out a friend he said he needed me to help him drive a truck from detroit to Florida. When i got to detroit I noticed that this was not a pick up or even a small box truck/uhaul. He wanted me to move a proper Semi truck. He flew me up and just assumed that I had my class A CDL, and I assumed he wanted me to move a smaller truck... So Yeah, I prayed and we left on a Sunday (weigh stations are closed on sunday) and after praying drove the 1100 miles straight through. Except falling asleep at the wheel a few dozen times and being shocked awake by those rumble divits they cut out of the road the trip was pretty uneventful.

Oh and Praise Jesus for getting me back safely and for being a jeep motor!

I regard god as a hemorrhoid.., just a pain in the ass.

Actually TJ (the guy in the vid) asks who is so completely unable to drive - even in the most rudimentary way and especially in the army - that they feel the need to pray even to get behind the wheel. I myself have never learned to drive but even I could manoeuvre a vehicle if I had to.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Does that mean I can buy a cream to make him go away?

Also, what army still uses Jeeps? Humvees replaced the Jeep in the 80's for the US.
If this is a current story then perhaps it does not take place in a God fearing country.

This is one of the fingerprints of bullshit packaged as platitudes; that there is no verifiable information on which to make an assessment. In this case, we have no idea which army is supposedly involved, the names of the players, the year of the alleged events, or even if it's an exaggerated account of some trivial occurrence. Each of these things on their own is a kill shot to the heart of the story. Put them together and the tale, pretty though it might sound, is an ex-parrot in the most extreme sense.

However, if such details are the most unbelievable aspects to the story for someone, they have somewhat bigger problems anyway.

I hope not, non existent yet consumes an extreme amount of energy, goes nowhere besides those annoying circles.
