Duuuuuhh... God only steps in when the shiat hits the fan. HOW ELSE ARE WE TO KNOW HIS WILL?!?!?!

Everyone knows geese are minions of Satan.

Anyone who has studied The Bible can see that God is a real dick sometimes. It's clear He was just farking with those people, but He didn't want them to actually die or anything.

Yeah. Another one of these things, it's like... think, people.

Still, at least no one died, so no families getting all upset over the comments.

The trick is in knowing the difference between a test of faith, and plain-old falling out of the sky into an icy river.

Goddamned Canadians. First with the Tim Horton's. Then the weird bacon. Now the geese.

They really are planning an invasion.

bqad720: when the shiat hits the fan.

So can we use "when the goose hits the turbine jet engine" as a cleaner version of that?

That, or, "when the poop hits my pants."

If God didn't cause tragedies then we wouldn't have any heroes.

You see, there is a method to His madness after all.

 
pwhp_67 2009-01-16 02:13:06 PM  
I think the Christian god would be more interested in who missed mass Sunday, who ate shellfish, and who was having naughty thoughts and wasn't paying any attention to those birds or that plane...

 
philotech 2009-01-16 02:13:07 PM  
We must kill all of the geese, as long as they are flying they are as guilty as the ones that flew into the engines.

Once again the cleanliness depends on what side of the spinning prop you're standing on.

More like he was checking out Foobies.com and then was all, "Awe shiat! I better step in over there!"

/Where was the geese's God when they were in need?

 
Accent 2009-01-16 02:14:45 PM  
Aye, we must kill the geese!

 
IndyGemini 2009-01-16 02:14:58 PM  
Awesome headline!

If a baby falls and land safely in someone's arms, we call it a miracle. If it's because someone tossed that baby skywards in the first place, we call that child abuse.

I'd love to see this standard apply by those who praise God after disasters.

 
JohnnyC 2009-01-16 02:15:02 PM  
Codfish: Well said, subby.

Indeed. Haha... Someone ought to tell the person who the quote was from that they should probably thank the rescuers and the pilot who performed that crash landing in the river... after all, those are the PEOPLE that saved them.

Coin lands tails: God wanted it to be tails.
Coin falls into sewer: God is punishing you.
Coin lands vertically: God did not want a decision.

Apparently he also doesn't care about all the people who have died in plane crashes that didn't go so well. I guess they were all dirty sinners.

You can't know God's reasons for doing what He does. He has a plan for all of us. You have to learn to trust in his plan.

Where did they bury the survivors?

 
yogaFLAME [TotalFark] 2009-01-16 02:17:59 PM  
Funny thing is that birds fly into jet engines all the time and nothing happens other than some fine red mist out the backside. The turbine blades are designed to do exactly that. Must have been one hell of a flock to take out two engines simultaneously.

I'd say God missed. Tried to kill them, sent the Geese, failed.

As subby pointed out, I really do hate it when survivors of a dangerous ordeal credit God for their survival.

The only time I was convinced there was some paranormal, Godlike force at work was when, on a cold and blustery day at Lambeau field in 1999, one week after He died, Walter Payton descended from heaven and used His hand to lift up Bryan Robinson to block Ryan Longwell's 28yd field goal attempt as time ran out, giving the Bears a 14-13 upset victory.

Actually, it was the Game Master who did that, and then the pilot rolled a critical success on his Piloting (Jet Aircraft) skill roll.

 
LibertyFirst 2009-01-16 02:19:13 PM  
Believers always seem to know when God is looking out for them, unbelievers always seem to know when God isn't.

 
caddisfly 2009-01-16 02:19:42 PM  
THIS. I can't cheer for Arizona or Pittsburgh in the playoffs because I can't bear to hear Warner/Rothlisberger prattle on and on about Jeebus every time they win a game. Does God hate the other team soooo much?

It's not that consistent; if the bird goes through the turbofan, part, it might not do much damage, but firing a bird through the turbine can cause the engine to surge, rather spectacularly.
