I spoke to God!

    I spoke to God for the first time in about ten years, the last time I spoke to him was September 11 2001

    Whether he exists or not is another matter, but tonight I felt the need to speak to him.

    I am watching TV3's 9/11 102mins that changed the world.

    I know this is After Hours but I am very suprised that there isn't a thread here already about it.
    EDIT (Apologies, there is one!)

    I have also realised that the world has moved on, but watching this show has brought all the horror of it back.

    It seems that many of the boardsies were very young at the time, But my feelings tonight are "Even though our country is shiv sometimes, aren't we lucky to be alive!"

    What happened on 9/11 2001 was horrific and may all those poor people Rest in Peace.

    I realise people here may take the piss, but I honestly felt moved to say something.

    My thoughts tonight are with all the victims and their families.

    I'm watching that too and I'm not trying to de-rail your thread but it got me to thinking about something completely different.

    Suppose the towers didn't fall down but were obviously destroyed and had to e demolished.
    How would you go about demolishing those suckers??

    i,m watching, brings it all back :mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,784 ✭✭✭Superbus


    There is a thread about it, and what has God got to do with your post?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,267 ✭✭✭Elessar


    Do you speak to him after innocent civilians are killed almost everyday by allied forces in Iraq and Afghanistan?

    Didn't think so.

    Well that was entertaining.

    Go on the Late Late and tell the country about it. You may even get a few donations if you convince people to head to Knock to see the Virgin Mary.

    Yes I did, as far as I can see the other thread is about "where were you on 9/11?"

    I did not see on my search a thread about the TV3 documentary which is airing right now.

    And my name is Fox, it seems you might have got me mixed up with some Jesus fella.. :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 478 ✭✭CokaColumbo


    Fair play to you OP. I don't know what sort of reception your post will get considering the typically militant anti-religious sentiment on AH.

    "What happened on 9/11 2001"
    What did happen on the 9th Nov?

    Just because I spoke to him doesn't mean I got an answer!

    I thought that the fact that the last time I spoke to him was Sep 11 2001 would alert readers to the fact that I actually don't speak to him much! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 57 ✭✭oxygenman


    He didn't mention anything about the economy or the banks by any chance? No clues on when an election might be happening? :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,944 ✭✭✭✭4zn76tysfajdxp


    OP, it was probably just the small lonely voice from your sig.

    not killed on purpose though,
    no allied forces set out to kill innocent people,

    Ironically enough, so did the terrorists!

    So you prayed then?

    Mis-leading thread title OP


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,723 ✭✭✭Cheap Thrills!


    The Doc was on Ch 4 the other day, there is another thread about it. Not the 'What were you doing on 9/11' thread, another one. yer.

    S'good documentary. Very spooky.

    Ps. if you're talkin' to God again ask him to stop with the feckin floods already.

    Thank you once again for being so helpful, your link has directed me to the television forum, which I checked six pages of...

    So I'm sorry but I can't see a thread on tonight's TV3 show. Apologies if I am mistaken but there doesn't seem to be one as far as I can see.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,287 ✭✭✭davyjose


    The obliteration of Baghdad was shown on TV too -- will you be speaking to God on the 20th of March 2013?

    Don't leave Him hanging. i'm sure He'll be beside himself with anticipation.

    Thank you.

    I can see the reception my post has got :) although I would have thought higher of the intelligence of boardsies.. the point is that I am not religious at all...hence the talking to God twice in all those years..

    And what I actually said to him after watching innocent people jump from a burning building was "Oh Dear God" that was it, not a long chat but enough to make my point to him!

    I think it was a very sad day..that's all..

    Getting weepy over 11/9 is being intelligent? :confused:

    edit: I admit I'm tired and irritable though


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,080 ✭✭✭foxinsox



    Thanks and apologies, I did search 9/11 honestly.. and I don't have Channel 4 so wouldn't have seen it.

    So sorry to all for repeating a thread.. I'll have a read of that one too..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,323 ✭✭✭✭MrStuffins


    OP, this "God" character would have LOVED this sh*t!

    Have you read The Bible? He was a horrible, jealous tyrant!

    He was probably watching Sky News that day with a big bag of Popcorn!

    Higher intelligence? You mean the intelligence of someone who "speaks" to God, then manages to ignore the seven year long devestation of millions of lives in a country Carrie Bradshaw doesn't live in, before "speaking to God" again?

    The whole 9/11 thing pisses me off no end. We'll never hear the end of it - it's treated as a world changing event and not the event that was used to try & change the world, which is a completely different thing.

    the intelligent bit being able to figure out that speaking to god twice in all those years means i'm not a religious person.. :)

    How would you go about demolishing those suckers??
    There was a program on a few weeks ago showing that the towers had to be demolished as there was not enough heat from a jet to bring them down. Do people honestly think that someone with a few flying lessons in a small plane could hijack a jet fly it 3/4 hour off course and hit the world trade center dead on? If a plane goes off course in the US fighter jets are sent after it in a very short time as was the case a few weeks before 9/11 when crew and passengers passed out in a jet. How did they know who the hijackers were so soon after?

    They were not jets, all video evidence was photo shopped afterwards. In reality they were cruise missiles, prepacked explosives were used as the back up.:cool:
