So they're hauling the Chilean miners out. That's great. What's not great are all the people hailing it as a miracle.
No. It's not a miracle. It's called human ingenuity. Intelligence and hard work employed to accomplish a task and overcome an obstacle.
Your brain may be absolutely worthless. Your body may have no use beyond accepting or disgorging semen. That doesn't mean everyone else is as utterly useless as you. Give credit where credit is due. Thank the engineers and the workers who dug those miners out. Your god had nothing to do with that.

Chilean "Miracle"
God, so atrocious in the Old Testament, so attractive in the New--the Jekyl and Hyde of sacred romance.
-Mark Twain
If people are good only because they fear punishment and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.

I have friends who are from Chile. One of them happens to be a mining engineer. I haven't really heard anything from him, but I'm sure he agrees with you on that haha.

But it is definitely, absolutely a miracle when one sports team beats another. Or vice versa. That's like, bibilical.
Good decisions come from experience. Experience comes from bad decisions.

Aww man and I had this awesome image of Jesus lifting all those debris. Enter Gribble to ruin that for me.
