I imagine anyone involved would have thought it was a catastrophe, and it could have had a very different ending if it wasn't for the skill and bravery of the captain. Why would someone religious neglect their duty and pray at a time when their skill was needed? That's just silly.

Catastrophe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A catastrophe is an extremely large-scale disaster, a horrible event.

catastrophe
kəˈtastrəfi/Submit
noun
1.
an event causing great and usually sudden damage or suffering; a disaster.

Dead people are dead, just like unborn people are. You cease to exist, when you die, in all but the memories of those you leave behind.

Your sentiment will be filed under "wishful thinking". I dont say that to be mean but just to identify it in context of this thread.

Ah leave him be. People can think what they want for me so long as they leave it out of mainstream education.

Praying should be like masturbation. It's completely natural, nothing wrong with it, but I really don't wanna hear about it.

It's just spiritual masturbation. Do your business and get on with it, you don't need to make a big thing out of it.

People that need to make a big thing out of it, especially at large gatherings, should go fv<k themselves.

No, of course not... but it is mean, especially to those of us who have lost someone very close. Stop stating this as fact. I have never seen anyone on this thread state their religious beliefs as fact. I fail to see why you can't accept that some people have faith and leave them to it instead of trying to stamp all over people's beliefs. There are far more intelligent people than you or I who have faith, just like there are far more intelligent people than you and I who have no faith. Leave people be to make up their own mind.

Got to agree with you, Alex. It is a personal thing that people should keep to themselves. If someone is truly interested in your faith - I don't mean people who make a thread to force their own non-belief on you and ridicule yours - I mean really interested to hear what you have to say, then that should be the only time it should be shared.

Religion in general is a crock of old sh*t (IMO) but dismissing a massive proportion of people as 'mentally deranged' just because they believe in things you don't is absurd and it's this kind of attitude that tarnishes the reputation of non-believers.

I believe in my God and that's a personal thing

Personally I wouldn't think of praying to a supposed entity that allegedly built this sh*thole of a planet but each to their own.

Don't you think it's mainly down to humans that it is a ****hole?

Nope. I've seen my fair share of natural world shows to conclude that nature is one cruel bastard.

I believe in God as well, I also believe if I ask God a question it's a safe bet I ain't gonna get a reply any time soon...

So after the first thousand times you speak with God (pray) you realise he may be listening but he ain't talking
