All we got from you was your blowhard "Christian bad/ science good" take.

It sucks.

That atheist group is ridiculous, by the way. I mean, the guy is basically saying he's used the force to hit the right targets (or whatever), which wouldn't fill me with confidence, but as long as he's doing his job, and doing it well, who the fuck cares. Court-marshalled? Ridiculous.

Yeah but what if Vader used the Darkside of the Force to force-choke a puppy?

Doesn't make it right.

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.

Well so far it's proven true. You can't distance yourself from the 13 yr old "I'm skipping Sunday school to play pacman at the arcade" mentality when it comes to discussing religion / Christianity.

Challenge yourself to apply an incremental amount of context to what he's saying, e.g. where he is/his audience and you might actually be able to grasp the frustration of the OP. It was a totally voluntary meeting, not a duty assignment. The athiest group doesn't really have a leg.

But no wait- compare it to a "kicking puppies day" or whatever JV analogy you'd like. Hyperbole looks good on you so far. 😕

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.

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.

Maybe you should try finger painting tomorrow.

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...

Religion is religion. All it takes is someone that's crazy/uneducated /desperate/brainwashed/ etc to be dangerous.

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

I'm sure your comfort level is of the utmost importance in his day-to-day life.

"flying complex aircraft; doing complex nuclear missions — 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

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