The family was eventually dropped off at the U.S. embassy in Chile, where they will now fly home today, courtesy of the same government that has so seriously interfered with their religion.


Knuckleheads. No BFS for you!

Look at the little girl's face at the bottom of the frame. She's really looking forward to 18. Oh, and I think God gave them their answer on the whole government thing.

PS - anyone know the make of the boat?

You know the story of the family sitting on their roof during the flood? A rescue boat comes to take them to safety, but they refuse to board it, saying "God will save us from the rising waters". The water continues to rise and they drown. When they see God in heaven, they ask him why he didn't save them. He says, "I sent you a rescue boat".

On a bit of reflection, when the going was rough, they held it together really well. I have seen "adults" wet themselves in situations much less difficult than this. The fact that they made it so far is "somewhat" a testimony to their convictions and there ability to carry on in the face of adversity.

Now I am really curious to know the type of SV they where on, how much actual prior sailing experience they had. I betcha writing a book is gonna be in their future. Everybody has got to make a living, dontcha know!

If the thread degenerates into an anti religious thread it will end up in Off Topic. It would be preferable if that were not to happen.
