Yikes. There's nothing quite like someone who doesn't know his limit and won't STFU when he's crossed it.

My dad was in a motorcycle accident too! He buys the bike and on the way back from Indiana, gets thrown off the road at 70mph (bike's fine). He wakes up in the ER, with nothing but a broken collar bone and his shirt scissored down the front. So they kick him out of the ER and he goes to rent a car.
I'd like to note, that my dad has a contempt for Mexicans, but only because they don't speak english.
So the car rental place shuts down after handing him the rental keys, he gets to the car, and the keys won't start the ignition and it's storming.
A mexican mother of 8 helped my extremely foreboding and large slightly frightening looking father by going to the store, buying him a new shirt and some food, and taking him to a hotel for the night.
The end of his story as he tells it to me 2 wks after it happens: God takes good care of me.

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

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.

Tell me about it. At least his sermon sometimes sounded like he was speaking in tongues; you know, a whole bunch of sounds that are supposed to mean something.

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.'

Everyday on my walk to work I pass a sign that says 'Christian science and learning centre'. The fucking epitome of irony.

Any other examples of unwitting irony out there?
Hi Stimbo
I dont see that this is ironic.
Since when has faith ever meant a person is invulnerable to theft?
It doesnt mean that, and nor has anyone ever claimed it did. A religious person can be robbed just the same as anyone.
The common one you hear is criticism of the bullet-proof Pope Mobile, which was brought in after Pope John Paul II was shot 3 times in St Peters Square, by a KGB agent (early 1980s. He didnt die and later visited his attacker in prison, in order to talk with him and forgive him for what he did).
Taking steps to prevent a Pope from assisination is not ironic or hypocritical either: believing in God doesnt make you bullet-proof, or somehow invulnerable to conventional weaponry.
When Christians say "Trust in God" they do not mean "Trust God to look after your stuff, so it doesnt get nicked", but rather "trust that everything is happening for a reason / has some meaning".
While being a victim of a robbery is a bad thing, our personalities are the sum of all our experiences, good and bad. While no-one would disagree that good experiences are the best, its a fact that bad experiences have just as much to teach us and are just as important in forming our characters and making us who we are.
