"They Slipped the Surly Bonds of Earth to Touch the Face of God"

I feel for the familes of these brave souls. I hope that God will give you all the strength to deal with this. May all your lost loved ones soar with the eagles, rest on the angels wings, and walk hand and hand with God.

I see. Bring God in to the picture, eh? Then ask why they died so horribly in the first place.

There is a sticky for this.

I was wondering that myself...

God takes you when he is ready to take you. It isn't always when you're ready to go.

Just goes to show you, there are stupid zealots from both sides of the camp.

Everyone please don't make this thread a religious debate, we lost 7 people today with family and children. May God have mercy on their souls and bring comfort to their families and children.

Some might want to read the entire poem:


Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, ? and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of ? wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air. . . .

Up, up the long, delirious burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or ever eagle flew ?
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untresspassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.


-John Gillespie Magee, Jr.

It's my favorite poem.

 

[Legendary]

God or no God, as mentioned above 7 people died today and left behind people who loved them. That is sad enough.

if you people didn't want it to be a religous debate you shouldn't have made it a religous thread. it's enough to say "they will be in our thoughts, and they are heros," and leave your prayers to yourself.

It is my choice to offer my prayers to those who have been lost and their families. It is your choice to pray along with me or to ignore me.

Insulting me does nothing.
