People should avoid these extreme sports (parachuting, bungee jumping etc). If God had intended us to fly he would have given us wings.

Neither of those sports you mention involves flying. They are all about falling. That, of course, is the effect of gravity. Which is only a Theory, obviously.
If God had intended us to swim, he would have given us gills.

I've though that a few times...particularly when looking at a massive roller coaster....but then I threw away those thoughts and I realized something.
Living your life is a hell of a lot more interesting that doing the 'safest' thing.
Then never get on a plane. Ever. Come to that, don't use the radio either, because whatever you believe in evidently didn't like radio waves or EM transmissions for information. Or any sort of technology.
People like this piss me off. Yes, let's limit our capabilities based on an invisible teapot's opinion. -_-
If god had intended you to think. he would have given you a fully functional brain.
I, being an atheist, don't give a fuck about what your imaginary friend "Intended"
Not Poe at all, JW's actually believe this shit.
I've always been tempted to ask them, since they believe people shouldn't be doing dangerous jobs, whether any of them have ever needed to call the fire brigade?
And yet, man has invented the airplane, which is responsible not only for bringing us skydiving, but also for our victory in two world wars. But, you know, I'm sure those soldiers could have just *walked* into Hiroshima, planted the bomb, and escaped... 9_9

The lord giveth and the lord taketh away. ;-)
You can't be serious.

People should avoid blanket pronouncements.
If your god didn't want people to fly, he wouldn't have given us brains. Most of us, anyway.
must be poe, has to be, everything this buttfucker does relies on someone flying something, whether mail, food, or otherwise.
Yeah, so? Obvious joke using an extremely well-known saying. What's so hard to understand about that?
This rates a ZERO on the fundie meter.
Of course, some of his other postings might rate a 5, but that does not make this particular one fundie.
Yes, but in neither of your examples are people flying. And, if God had intended us to fall, he would have given us gravity.
Er, wait...
That approach rules out planes, ships, cars, buses, bicycles, cooking, art, crafts, inventions, - just about everything. What a moron.
Pathetic tripe.
Just another person voluntarily cutting himself off from untold joy in this life because he's hoping for pie in the sky when he dies.
Tell you what, man. You feel free to keep your feet on the ground. The rest of us are going to strap on our parachutes, lace up our skates, crank up our bikes, cinch our climbing harnesses, slip on our wetsuits, and fly like you've never even dared imagine.
If god had intended us to fly he would have never given us the railways
if anyone can say who said that, they are incredibly cool
parachuting and bungee jumping are controlled falling, not flying.
Now if you'd mentioned airplanes and hot air balloons you'd have an actual point, a stupid one mind, but still a point.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
