Wallenda over the grand canyon
June 25, 2013 at 11:38 am
Yes, I will admit i saw this waste of time, but what really annoyed me was Nik Wallenda saying every other second "thank you Jesus" or "God be praised" or Jesus is my savior" Or " in the name of Jesus stop the winds" etc nonstop After hearing this for several minutes other people I was with, that are religious started to laugh. There is no point to this post just wondered what anyone who saw this thought about Nik's praying Angel Cloud

I didn't watch it, but I'm glad I don't any obligation whatsoever to carry on the tradition of The Flying Wallendas. If there was ever a family that should not have shunned safety equipment....

A magical incantation whose efficacy could absolutely be ascertained...lol, I wonder if meteorologists noticed any miraculous wind stoppage that day? You know, if they did..we could even conclude with reasonable certainty where "jesus" stood/floated/was present/whatever at the time of the spell.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I bet it was far more windy up there.

And there was no whining in that case.

And they were French!

I think we have finally found the test that will separate the true christians from the posers. Any christians here care to take a walk with christ????

What a needless narcissistic showoff. And praising Jesus too. REALLY YOU PATHETIC FUCKHEAD, 20,000 kids a MONTH die of famine and war in Africa and you think, even if there was a god, he should be concerned with a fucking showoff?

Now, the other thing is, although fortunately it did not happen, you Mr Wallenda, would you be praising Jesus if you were falling to your death during your selfish ego display? Or like a dipshit only cherry pick when good things happen?

And didn't some idiot in your line of bullshit work fall to his death between the twin towers back in the early 80s?

So by Mr Wallenda's logic if a Muslim does the same thing and praises Allah doing it then Allah is the one true god.

A dipshit and a showoff too boot.
I can understand risk taking such as going to the moon or mars or something that improves human technology. If this moron wants to do stupid shit that really doesn't improve life and is only acting as an ego trip, fine, but don't pretend you are contributing a damned thing to humanity by pulling such a stupid stunt.

Well said!!!! By the way I did not mention his spirtual advisor was Joel Osteen, that crazy preacher, who was preparing Nik for his walk.
