I'm a horrible **** so I can't help but find this one a bit funny despite it obviously being a personal tragedy for those involved... If your first prayer session resulted in God sending a car into your house, you're clearly doing it wrong, and should stop. More praying will only piss Him off and lead to a further Plague of Buick.
Unless, of course, they were actually praying for a new car, in which case it's an actual miracle.
If only they all had guns they could have protected themselves
Might have been praying for a new patio door

Clearly you are too stupid to be able to tell the difference between offended and thinking that enjoying other people's misery,or finding it funny is a bit naff.But hey;it's Christians,so fair game. Feel free to post similar in the Sharia UK sites and be sure to link us all in to the replies.
Not sure I'd call it funny, it is a bit ironic - though did I miss the bit in the article where "people call for more prayer to help victims"?
It does really annoy me that people think that praying for something is the same as doing something.

Who needs prayer then theres online petitions to click.

I am also a bad person as I found this funny. Schadenfreude it's a wonderful thing.
Clearly you are too stupid...
Well that's me told 🙄
I hope you hold yourself to a higher standard when judging the mental faculties of those you teach.

You forgot to add that they were Americans for added amusement, hopefully white Americans.
Well that's cheered up my Sunday morning. Your comment about praying for a new car was hilarious.
😀
Oh dear, wasn't their a death of a toddler sat out in a hot car outside church in Texas last week , whilst his parents prayed inside,
Was it God or the parents will ?
Religion a means of controlling the masses
Ohh...I have a stalker!
It's funny in the same way this is funny :

Don't flatter yourself. It's right there in your profile.
So you clicked my profile why? Who is meant to be professionally offended again?
So you clicked my profile why?
Just wondered who this "duckman" was, who is able to determine a poster's intelligence based on a lone snarky meme post. Of course, it comes as no surprise that one as quick to take offence and post the obligatory retaliatory virtue-signal would assume this is as a result of obsessive tendencies rather than simple curiosity.
It's Sunday, mate. Lighten up.
I found it funny. What is tragic is they will believe its gods will and he knows best.
The thing is it isn't remotely funny. Unless you think gunmen entering a church and killing an elderly priest or bombing a mosque full of the wrong kind of muslims is funny. But I'm not offended if you do, just a little bit saddened.
Did anyone else think - '[i]on the edge of the Cairngorm's[/i]' what?
Again, you are obvious too [s]stupid[/s] sorry, you found that offensive; unable to tell the difference between offended and finding something in poor taste. My feelings were,and remain the latter. But as stated above by others,different people find different things amusing. If you think anybody who doesn't find that amusing is "professionally offended" then..actually you are stupid.
[url= http://www.dictionary.com/browse/poor-taste--in ]In poor taste: offensive[/url]
Given the above, and the fact that you have somehow decided I'm offended despite never even being so close as hinting at the possibility*, I'm not sure I'm the one who's being stupid.
*although that's a textbook example of what you do though: see offence round every corner, in every forum post 😀
White, two sugars - anyone for a bourbon?
Nope sorry;it is not beyond the realms of possibility to find something tasteless without being offended. As for this
I am confused; I thought you just had a quick look at my profile and b) do you have any evidence of this from reading through my posts or are you just making stuff up? Trying to suggest that anybody not finding that story funny is "professionally offended" is stupid. That remains my point,pointing it out clearly offended you enough to dig through my profile and make mention of what I do for a living.*although that's a textbook example of what you do though: see offence round every corner, in every forum post
Are you two getting a room or what?

Another reading comprehension fail. I posted in response to you and thm high-horsing about how much of a **** Northwind is. At what point have I mentioned folk not finding it funny?
I can see a lot of folk would not appreciate the humour/irony of the situation because, you know, someone's died. But some people [i]do[/i] find it funny. What I find funny is watching folk pounce on posts [i]they are not compelled to read [/i]just so they can out the poster as a horrible, unsympathetic, morally bankrupt individual, and in doing so prove to everyone else that they are not so. It's like you* have to remind everyone how much a paragon of virtue you* are every now and again.
Like I said, lighten up.
*the collective "you", not you duckman, although you seem to have taken this quite personally.
I actually quoted NW's own words.
Didn't do any of that. Can you show where I did? TBH,I have bought various bits an pieces from NW over the years,comes across as a good lad.I think you are still struggling to separate poor taste and offended.BTW; that was quite a rant for somebody who is telling others to lighten up.What I find funny is watching folk pounce on posts they are not compelled to read just so they can out the poster as a horrible, unsympathetic, morally bankrupt individual, and in doing so prove to everyone else that they are not so.

If NW has already called it, why do you need to chip in if not to signal your distaste to everyone else?
I think you are still struggling to separate poor taste and offended
I've provided a link to a well-known dictionary in which the definition of the phrase "in poor taste" includes "offensive", indicating that they are synonymous. You've provided an opinion suggesting that they're not. Teach me where I'm going wrong.
And it was hardly a rant. There were no misplaced apostrophes for a start.
Chaps, please...
At least insult each others mothers or some thing, this is hardly going to end up as a kayak/flare gun duel is it?
You two are a great comedy act in some regards; in others, you just appear a bit pathetic. Just swap email addresses if you really feel some burning desire to resolve this.
Email addresses? I feel this has got to the point where actual addresses need to be swapped.
Iiiiiiiin the red corner...
Hey, it's passing a long and tedious day at work for me. Nothing more, nothing less. I harbour no ill-will towards duckman.
Tell you what OX,you stick to deciding when people are offended,it is clearly something you insist you are the judge of. I am off to Glencoe shortly,enjoy your long and tedious day. (Middle finger emicon)
You going to take that shit, Ox?
I hoping we at least get a flounce out of this, otherwise it's been a total waste of time
You going to take that shit, Ox?
What else can I do? He called me stupid. I can't compete with that.

I thought the point was that if your god wont protect you at a prayer meeting and folk die to then pray for this is a little daft/irrational etc.
Its not the incident its the [lack of] logic of those affected that is the "humour"
JOB - the philosopher - recounts a tale of a man praying in a church as a tidal wave[ perhaps a storm memory is sketchy] hits and they were praying for safety
23 of 24 died except him.
He then went to church to thank god for his survival
Personally I would expect more from a protective god than that
If you have faith obviously this wont matter and you may be upset.
Its not really my fault your god is capricious
That's all well and good Junkyard, but your face looks like a big poo.
Yes but you have no friends and you smell of wee
😆
I recall Aristotle debating a similar matter when he chanced upon a discarded cloth that had been used to cleanse the rear parts of a donkey.
That's you that is, that cloth.
I hope you chaps are taking notes of the way that insult and invective can be used to further a debate.
Raise your game!
Man...this thread has gone...

the rear parts of the donkey are you and as always i am cleaning up your mess
I am off to Glencoe shortly
Well FFS [s]cheer up[/s] lighten up before you get here 🙂
So, back on topic then...does praying not work anymore?
Well my work here is done.
you must be very proud
(But obviously smart choice of topic - always a safe one on here)
If a fart I am, that which you claim, then your face must be the place from whence I came.
Northwind -
Well my work here is done
Great thread! Thanks NW, gave me a laugh from beginning to (not quite) end.
I wonder how many STW cliches are contained within.
I can see a lot of folk would not appreciate the humour/irony of the situation because, you know, someone's died. But some people do find it funny.
Yep. It reminds me of how we had a death of a cyclist locally when they were hit by a lorry, someone pointed out how it was quite amusing and ironic as cycling is supposed to be "healthy". I didn't like to sound offended so I laughed and agreed with them.
As you say, a lot of folk would not appreciate the humour/irony of the situation because, you know, someone's died. But some people do find it funny.
I didn't like to sound offended so I laughed and agreed with them.
That makes you a weak person then. Which given your opinions on here I don't believe. So that means you're story is a lie, but then I don't believe you would lie. So then we are back to you being weak.....
....I'm so confused 🙁
Perhaps it was a parable.
if only the car had a fish sticker on it
Like this one?

Personally, I only get emotionally involved when someone I actually know dies. Otherwise, well, there's quite a few deaths going on.
It is in poor taste.
But it's also funny.
Ernie's trolling is not funny.
I thought it was quite funny NW.
