Why do people say "I'll pray for you"...

12. Related and really disgusting example of this arrogant BS...

I like to relax on a Monday morning by watching the newest "Air Disasters." Yes, I'm weird. You knew that already. The show airs on Sunday night and I DVR it to skip the commercials.

This week's show was about Air Canada Flight 797 in 1983, which made an emergency landing at Cincinnati after a mysterious fire broke out on board.

Months after the crash...MIRACLE! Air Canada returned a paperback Bible to one of the passengers! And it was HARDLY BURNED AT ALL! WOW!

Interviewed on the show, the passenger claimed this was evidence that "God was looking out for me."

And what happened to the people God DIDN'T look out for that day?

Twenty-one Canadians and two Americans died. Many of the bodies were burned beyond recognition. Almost all of the victims were in the forward half of the aircraft between the wings and the cockpit. Some bodies were in the aisles, and some bodies were still in the seats. Two victims were in the back of the aircraft, even though the passengers were moved forward after the fire had been detected; the disoriented passengers moved beyond the overwing exits and succumbed.

Sorry for the lengthy vent. But I see this kind of obtuse, hurtful stupidity exhibited by Xians just about every day. A tornado kills 99 people. One survives. Because I AM SPECIAL AND GAWD WAS LOOKING OUT FOR ME!

Do they ever think about what the loved ones of the dead might feel? No, of course they don't. They're special.
