What are we to make of the Katie Couric interview with Captain Sullenberger of the plane that crashed in the Hudson River?
Couric: "Did you pray?"
Sullenberger: "No, I had a plane to land."
Perhaps all other crashing planes had a pilot praing instead of landing safely.
"God helps those who help themselves." (a quote from whom?)

A good replay.

A more appropriate wording is that "Chance favours the prepared".
But there are many parts of the bible which tells you to get off your lazy butt and dont wait for God to help.
I have just read this article: http://www.bible.org/page.php?page_id=1605 and am now convinced that the Hudson River Pilot was without sin. Just consider "Romans 1:18-3" ... because the writer of this article declares:
"I will never forget that flight to Dallas. By the grace of God we not only averted certain disaster, but also received a rich welcome out of the storm. Such is Paul's point in Romans 1-8. The storm clouds are blackest, and our outlook bleakest, in the first three chapters of this great letter. All men-and that includes you and me-are justly condemned for our own sin in Romans 1:18-3:20. We are condemned for our sexual perversions, malice, deceit, hostility, envy, murder, folly, disobedience to parents, insolence, arrogance, lust, slander, and gossiping. The bottom line, Paul argues, is that there is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God; together we have turned aside and become debased (cf. 3:9-20). In short, Romans 1:18-3:20 is about the wrath of God justly unleashed against unrepentant sinners who turn their backs on him and his rule, and who prefer instead their own debauchery or self-made righteousness. These chapters depict a storm brewing at the present time, which itself anticipates a final, catastrophic tempest of the wildest proportions!"

He is a pilot and a damn good one too. And we discuss if he is a sinner because he landed the plane instead of praying to god?
Is the christian religion so low so we demand him to kill all the passanger in order to be a 'good' christian and pary instead of landing?
Well, I don't think so. He is a good pilot, and a hero too. And that's enough for me.
He has a place in heaven. Many christians don't.

Originally posted by whodeyThe only interview I have heard of a passenger was with Howard Stern who asked her if she thought about having sex one last time before she died. I wish the media had more good interviews like that one.

Originally posted by kirksey957I guess we need to give the masses what they crave and he seems to fit the bill. I just wonder if he is so preoccupied with sex or if he is just selling soap.
