nausea Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 That might provoke a few existential crises among the faithful. Don't worry guys, it was the Devil in crocodile form testing your faith, apparently he has God's permission to do this (Book of Job or something). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morch Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Religious (or superstitious) thinking would have no trouble explaining it away. The default being "God works in mysterious ways", "Thy will be done" etc. Sometimes, though, more advanced reasoning is applied: A long time ago, we stayed on a beach down at Kerala, India. Massive coconuts palms all around. Every night, when the strong winds blew, coconuts came crashing down. The family we stayed with was oblivious - "only bad people get hit". When their favorite dog took one to the head, they simply switched to "it was a very bad dog". "...and therefore a witch!" came to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A poor human dies in the most possible horrible way, if some members find it a good opportunity to humour cheaply on the pretext that the unfortunate is a pastor, you could understand that some may not appreciate.

Should I care if someone does not understand the humour in the situation? Poor souls. Ok, that's enough. Pastors are selling snake oil for stupid, for their own benefit.

Referring to my earlier post:- Going into an African river that could possibly have crocodiles is stupid Believing that you are somehow protected by a God is arrogance I respect the right for everybody to believe anything they want but I certainly won't respect their beliefs ...That would be impossible as so many beliefs contradict each other.. But the Pastor is happy now in the Kingdom of Heaven and he left us with a smile on our faces..What more could a Pastor want.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
