Allah has more pull than God

Worried Iran pilot asks passengers to pray:

"The pilot told the passengers 'the plane is facing a technical problem and has to return. So please pray.'"

The plane did not crash, or even have to set down in a river.  So, it would appear that Allah is a bit more on the ball than God, of the bible.  Although, there is no indication that the "river" pilot asked his passengers to pray.  Might be because he was too busy doing his job to think about a collective imaginary friend.  The primary reason I would prefer an atheist at the helm than a chicken-shit, consumed in prayer sky-pilot.  I don't want to ride on a plane where the pilot needs god/allah's help to ensure a safe flight.

but, we live in a country where we have that right to pray or not pray......I prefer a pilot that does NOT mind a prayer....but that's just me. :razz: ;)

Jesus was my co-pilot but we crashed in the mountains and I had to eat him.   :icon_twisted:
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

And I know he was delicious....because if there is one thing we all know...Jesus was "good".
Looks like I've come full circle.
