http://www.mediaite.com/tv/don-lemon-cnn-guest-wonder-whether-something-supernatural-happened-to-malaysian-plane/CNN anchor Don Lemon and Decoded host Brad Meltzer bandied about the idea Sunday afternoon that something beyond our understanding happened to Malaysia Airlines flight MH 370, that something being perhaps supernatural maybe?
Especially today, on a day when we deal with the supernatural, Lemon said. We go to church, the supernatural power of God people are saying to me, why arent you talking about the possibility and Im just putting it out there that something odd happened to this plane, something beyond our understanding?...
You can say, Oh, it crashed into the ocean, Meltzer continued. But where are the parts? Where are the pieces? Why did it keep going for seven hours? Why do you have a guy on board who gives his watch and his ring to his wife and says Keep these for my boys in case something happens to me? And thats not some stranger, he was a mechanical engineer. Something smells wrong.
Im not one of those believers that aliens came down or anything like that, Meltzer added. But you do have to stop and wonder: how does a jet-liner with 200 people on it just disappear?

(14,449 posts)First of all, most folks on the plane were from China which are religions mostly of the Buddhist and Taoism so to ask anything with God is insulting to those folks. I don't have a problem being glib, but this is too far in my opinion.

Do you know how much better this country would be if all these morons were snatched up to their god?

(7,051 posts)Though he would like to try:
Big sky looked down on all the people looking up at the big sky.
Everybody pushing one another around
Big sky feels sad when he sees the children scream and cry
But the big skys too big to let it get him down.
Big sky too big to cry
Big sky too high to see
People like you and me
One day well be free, we wont care, just you see
Til that day can be, don't let it get you down
When I feel that the world is too much for me
I think of the big sky, and nothing matters much to me.
Big sky looked down on all the people who think they got problems
They get depressed and they hold their head in their hands and cry.
People lift up their hands and they look up to the big sky
But big sky is too big to sympathize
Big skys too occupied
Though he would like to try
And he feels bad inside
Big skys too big to cry
One day well be free, we wont care, just you wait and see
Til that day can be, don't let it get you down.
When I feel that the world is too much for me
I think of the big sky, and nothing matters much to me.

(21,020 posts)I get confused...
God created the Big Bang and the universe and everything in it, but...
When he decided to cause the Great Flood, why didn't he just spirit Noah and his family and two of each kind of animal out into his god condo until the flood was over?
Was it being redecorated?
Was the holy ghost having a sleepover?
Why ask a dinky little human to build a boat?

(115,856 posts)Therefore it's reasonable to assume that God did it.
Or, of course, we could wait until all the actual evidence has been collected, which might take awhile.
But it's easier for primitive thinkers to conclude that anything that can't be immediately understood must have had a supernatural cause. God did it. Of course.
Idiots. At least try walking upright; it's hard on your knuckles when you drag them on the ground all the time.

There's another thread here in GD asking about what would happen if the plane topped 45,000 feet.
That's what happened!
Read this poem...
High Flight
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward Ive climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds,and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed ofwheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hovring there,
Ive chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air. . . .
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
Ive topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark nor ever eagle flew
And, while with silent lifting mind Ive trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
The plane got too close to God. It buzzed his face. He thought it was a pesky mosquito and...
SWAT!!!
Those poor bastards never had a chance
