You just compared a facebook group created by weirdos to do something dumb but not inherently evil to a planned act of mass murder and terrorism.

Good one.

actually, you were the one that said groups do stuff like this all the time... and under that logic... it isnt any different... killing in the name of god, is killing in the name of god... this one probably is a big old joke, but you can't just assume that it is always a joke because eventually it wont be, we've learned that.

But this is just doing something insanely stupid in the name of god. There's a bit of a difference.

[Jester]

And the plan of the JTW group isn't to kill anyone. Oh, if anyone does it they probably WILL kill someone, but they aren't seeking it out.

What I love are the comments I found here:

Totally tolerant and full of love, these people.

first off- the friendly atheist is an awesome man- read more of his blog and dont judge on the comments... second- as i have said, this is probably made as a joke, HOWEVER plenty of people out there are stupid enough to believe it and certainly stupid enough to participate- and yes, that would plan to kill/harm other people if the objective is to go into a public place and cause a car accident... if they did it and killed someone, but survived themselves- they would be held responsible for the death.

[Jester]

No...that isn't the "plan". The plan is to have Jesus safely guide you once your hands are removed from the wheel. It's totally misguided, but it's not a premeditated act of vehicular homicide.

[mysterycolor]

well unless they plan to plead insanity when it doesnt work... they'd be held liable for any deaths/injuries/damage

[Jester]

Never said they wouldn't or shouldn't be. Just saying that it's not their intention to kill anyone.

I doubt Bin Laden admitted to his subordinates that he was planning mass murder. The ten commandments applies to their religion as well.

What a retarded thing to say.

"Hey, guys, we're gonna crash some planes into these buildings."

"...won't people die?"

"Nah, they'll be empty, I PROMISE."

Well, I guess you know how terrorism works better than I do.

Yeah, pretty sure whole point of Jihad is to kill those who disagree, they knew they were being a party to mass-murder gobo...

Right....


Been labeled a radical, but no where near these guys. Just as Jester posted, you shall not test your God, so I'm really confused as to what biblical idea there running with on this?

I mean, God does admire common sense as well.

I agree. I'm sure Jesus is like "Damn, yo. Y'all foolz is crazy! I'm only one dude!"

I really hope they don't go through with this at all. It's stupid and crazy to say the least. And they're basing this off of a country song sung by Carrie Underwood. I'm not going to be tolerant of people who do stupid things that could cause the loss of life. Why the hell would anyone just do this when they know they could kill people in the process? If anyone does do this, they'll be proven wrong when they go into a ditch.

"Jesus, take the wheel."

Or a hokey country song.

Geez Louise, peeps, that FB group has "Troll" written all over it.

Does anybody actually think this was started as a sincere means to express one's faith? And, for that matter, does anyone actually believe people will try to do something like this to prove some kinda holy point?

[mysterycolor]

given the right circumstance, people will do anything to prove a point...

on that note, this appeared yesterday...
