Comment: I see someone's a bit testy. William, I understand you've got pride in being a Pagan, I do too. However, the article wasn't meant for attacking religions, and all you're doing is giving the rest of the Pagans a bad name :/

Comment: I do not fear the nonexistent ubiquitous omniscient omnipotent entity. Accept it for what it is - the dude got lucky, the circumstances were right for him to live. Nothing more.

Comment: God saves your soul, not stupidity like yours.
Maybe the thousand people and yourself should evolve more so you can fly.
I see you already have the bird brain. ;-)

  Comment: Having just come from the airport, I am surprised you are unaware that we learned to fly long ago. Hell, even us Pagans can do it!

Comment: wwfl558: Why doesn't God save the other thousands of people who die in much less severe falls each year? You should probably stop wearing your science-designed seat belt too, and just put God to the test.

Comment: Why can't science just accept this for what it is? A Miracle straight from God.
