Do you believe in God?

Then the answer is simple... we throw the Christian with the guitar at the door for 3 and half hours, until the plane lands, then we throw him out at 20 ft.

No need to wait that long; pressure is about equal at 10,000ft.

Would it be possible to break a window and eject the singers via explosive decompression like Goldfinger?

So much for the tolerant left.

A truly enlightening, grownup and tasteful discussion of martyring Christians in novel ways. /S

Other non-state actual persecution of Christians in the real world is undertaken by Boko Haram, the Houthi movement and ISIL.

Nah, we're talking about rude people on an airplane. I don't care what religion you are or whether or not you have a belief in a super natural being, if you sing on an airplane you're one of the worst kinds of people.

Is that really you talking about what you really believe? Or is that your Long Covid talking? In either case, an extended discussion of killing Christians - or anybody - by throwing them out of airplanes is not something you or our forum should be overly proud of, and certainly not in this particular thread.

Hol’ up, the guy who has treated the Ukraine/Russian war like some boxing match is in here trying to lecture us on being more respectful of death upon others?

I made a mistake. I should have corrected it. But that is no excuse for others to knowingly and laughingly be making the same mistake - and then to justify it by my bad example. IMHO, we could all stand to learn a lesson and be better persons in the future.

Not that I particularly want to wade in here but, this post is dragging me in.

There's no chance any of those people are serious about tossing people out of an airplane. They're all joking, and it's pretty clear. Granted it's a violent joke, but it's also definitely not meant to be taken literally or seriously (and there are some obvious clues in the posts that point to this).

Nobody is tossing anyone out of a plane. Those jokes would be super unfunny if someone had actually been tossed from a plane for singing. But it hasn't happened, and as was pointed out, it can't really happen. So we're talking about people making (clearly) jokes about something that can't happen and hasn't happened.

Now let's see if this is parallel with Ukraine. No.

I think you're missing that everyone is clearly joking and wouldn't actually throw someone out because they sang on a plane.




The guitar on the other hand, no mercy.

Airplane is such a wonderful movie. I feel like I could gush about it endlessly.

I'm old enough to remember users on this forum who demonstrated a propensity to rail against any kind of suppression of mockery and jest, however distasteful (which isn't to say that it's distasteful here), directed at any supposed marginalized or persecuted group as "political correctness" (BOO!!!).

Alas, some of them (or all?) seem to have noped the **** out of here, and so they're not likely to chime in to that effect now. Okay so they probably wouldn't have anyway given that the supposed marginalized or persecuted group in this instance are Christians and the aforementioned individuals struck me as being of the pro-Trump (this was actually explicit), conservative Christian bent.

Oh well.

I'm fairly sure that's just painting of Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees.

The car crash that caused his left eye to be so far out of alignment with his face he could be Sloth's stunt double must have been a hell of a thing. And who did his makeup to get everything so smooth and feminine? And for that matter, that weird beard parting.

What's with the hand spots anyway? I mean, you can't staple someone to a plank through their hands because their bodyweight will result in the pin tearing right through the metacarpals - it has to go between the radius and ulna, just above the wrist.

Also Jebus is apparently a very specific prism, capable of splitting light into different wavelengths but absorbing all wavelengths bar red.

And a picture of him would be a graven image, so that's the Ten Commandments screwed again.

As far as I know no documemted depictions of Jesus were made in his supposed lifetime and even if there were, based on the demographics of where he is said to have lived and worked, he absolutely would not be a North European-looking white man.

I did not think to look for a gif. I was only trying to find a video, but a gif works just as well.

He can be whatever you want him to be.

 

[Liquid]

He can be whatever you want him to be.

So why's he always looking like Obi-Wan Kenobi? Instead of... oh, I don't know... a Jewish bloke from 1st century Levant?

It's funny how "he can look like however you want him to be" always seems to conveniently suit a particular narrative, conform to specific cultural stereotypes and match societal trends, together all in an ethnocentric way.

 

[NotThePrez]

He can be whatever you want him to be.

Except that he really can't, because it's almost universally accepted that he A) was a real, living human being, and B) was very much a brown person. Protraying him as anything but is historically incorrect.

I chose that image because it happened to be the one that brought me the most peace, dont like it? Well I guess that's your problem isn't it.

Congrats. It's still inaccurate, and not in a good way. It's the equivalent of me saying and pushing a narrative stating that the Prophet Muhammed was an African man with blonde jerry-curls.

Also, isn't imagery of Christ a violation of one of the Ten Commandments?

I wouldn't know, I'm not a Christian.
