There are reports that everyone on the plane survived, but they're not confirmed. They are talking to suvivors on the news. From their reports, it seems the plane landed okay, but then couldn't brake.
This must be what going mad feels like.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
So lovely it hurts.
Very nice. You want I should pray reallly hard that the price will go down?
ION, I look like half a chipmunk. If I weren't me, I'd be laughing at myself by now.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I mean, they figure they're getting points like on the Serenity board.
Oddly, I have 690 points suddenly, for no apparent reason. I should have 400,396,152,698, but you know, I'm not complaining.
Wait, yeah. I'm complaining.

That would get you, what, a key chain?

Religion is the world's oldest fandom. Can't blame them for trying to share the love.
What a neat way to look at it.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
As long as they understand and respect what "not interested" means.
I dunno. I think I have a higher "personal" threshold than you do. Asking someone "Have you accepted Jesus into your heart?" is not only a veiled accusation (i.e. they're asking because they bet you haven't), it's about as rude as asking, "Are you wearing clean underpants?"
Now, I will talk plenty about my underpants with people I know. You folks, for example. I will not talk about my underpants with some random dude on the Pike Overpass who is wearing a t-shirt with "Jesus or HELL!!!" written on it. (This guy really exists, and has lots of homemade signs. I see him regularly, enough to distinguish him from the guy who does flowchart-improv about Jesus and the scary scary woman who is anti-fur.)
Even if I am wearing clean underpants (generally, I am), dude got no right to ask me about them. My immaculate underpants are for me to share with the people who matter to me, and not for the inspection of any old freak who asks.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I am not sure what my stance is on prayer and how much prayer differs from either hopes or meditations, depending on the situation.

"Are you wearing clean underpants?"
I think this is an appropriate response.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
"Have you accepted Jesus into your heart?"
I don't think I really understand this question. I mean, I suppose I would answer "no" in that I don't believe in a savior, but I like the idea of everyone being good to each other and taking care of the least among us, so a better answer might be "in spirit."
