    "flying complex aircraft; doing complex nuclear missions β€” I have no ability to do that. God enabled me to do that."

    So now God works for the Air Force?

    I would guess he got the training for such things IN THE AIR FORCE

          Except he never mentioned "God bombs" Woodrow. You did.

          And the only "enacted justice" mentioned in the article was the "aggressive and very visible" kind that the crybaby pussies were demanding be thrown at the Major General.

          You know, like maybe a long knife to the throat kind.

          Are you this much of a douche in real life?

            Follow along...

            I never said that he said those things. The previous post asked why someone might be off put by the man's actual comments ("God enabled me to do that"). My hypothetical response was my answer. If you're giving God all of the credit for what you do, and what you do is this complex/important/dangerous, the fear is "God telling you" to do things. You're already throwing reasoning and common sense out of the window, some might worry about what you could do next. Misinterpret a voice in your head as God or something.

            Now, feel free to respond in a way that causes me to defend something I never actually said or meant. I look forward to reading it tomorrow...

              Um no Woody, you've got the wrong religion, this officer was no rogue warrior.

              His flight missions were planned out and assigned by his superior officers, not God.

              If he wishes to credit God for guiding him, fine. It's really none of your business.

                I wouldn't be hugely comfortable with him eulogising so much, but I'm pretty sure I could deal with it without him being court-marshalled.

                  Almost, but not quite. It wasn't the air force that gave him the abilities, just the force.

                      Not saying this guy in particular is, but I'm explaining why people may be uncomfortable with his statement.

                          I remember in boot camp at Great Lakes seeing a huge mural of this image of Jesus standing behind a sailor. That was back in the 70's and I wonder if they still have it now that political correctness has infected the military.

My hypothetical response was my answer. If you're giving God all of the credit for what you do, and what you do is this complex/important/dangerous, the fear is "God telling you" to do things. You're already throwing reasoning and common sense out of the window, some might worry about what you could do next. Misinterpret a voice in your head as God or something.

                                    Because it would be more ridiculous if he only spoke of himself & his own abilities, rather than attributing something/anything to God speaking at a prayer day where this type of thing is expected/encouraged.

                                    Maybe you should try finger painting tomorrow.

                                      We could have a "Kick a Puppy" day where kicking puppies is encouraged. That doesn't make it any better...

                                      But yes, "kids table", "finger painting", very cute. I guess when your only defense is "Well, so, you're younger than me!" I can't expect much out of you. In the way of reasoning or insults.

                                        I remember in boot camp at Great Lakes seeing a huge mural of this image of Jesus standing behind a sailor. That was back in the 70's and I wonder if they still have it now that political correctness has infected the military.

                                        Its a gay looking picture, thats why its not used anymore. If it helps, imagine Jesus as Bruce Jenner. Get it. You can't grab another mans shoulder while he's bent over like that. No wonder gays want in the military, its all Jesus' s fault.

                                          The picture represents God's guidance. Imagine this thread being about a general who an atheist group wants court martialed because he spoke of God's guidance in his life...well you don't really have to imagine that because that is what this thread is about.
