Default In the name of religion

Another religious freak for you:



All done to 'spread the word of Christianity'. Landed on his head, drilling a hole through the powder. Got dug out by the photographer and walked away, crediting his faith in God. (I'm sure his wife and kid loved every second.)

How are your local 'Christians' doing?

From the article:

"In January 2005, skier Brent "Newt" Newton died after jumping off a 50-foot cliff at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort."

Nothing wrong with the red, although a good beerverage is always in order. Here's a tamer kind of nutter for you...

I've seen a picture of a bloke taking a 150ft drop into Corbett's at jackson hole and i had to look at the pic about 4 times before i realised what he was actually doing.
I think its stating the obvious that the bloke in your pic is a few sandwiches short of a picnic - perhaps for his next trick he'll catch a bullet between his teeth in the name of Jesus

Hi Bradford Lass, I'm doing fine too.

They will never stop blaming God for the nutters. Because they don't believe in God, they don't beleive in the Devil. Oh well. We know.

I see from this thread that some of you jumped as well. Caught your attention. Everyone is entitled to an opinion but personally I think discernment plays a big part in the conclusion I arrive at. :scared:

'ello.

Things are going well and the job is keeping me busy. Which is why I haven't been here much.

The house is cool although I experieced my first winter gas bills as this place has water and heating on gas. Yikes :scared:

Things are good. You?

Why would you blame some entity in which you don't believe? Anyway, I wasn't blaming God for the nutters - just the nutters for using religion as an excuse. Way too many doing that.

Back to my beer....
