Reg, I actually find that video to be inspiring. 🙂

Against the odds is probably a better description, but it doesn’t convey as much emotion as the term ‘miracle’. And there’s no antonym for ‘miracle’ that I can think of.  It’s a bloody miracle I didn’t miss the train the other day, seeing as I left it to the last minute to leave.

@earlesanborn welcome to Atheist Zone, where theists like yourself are given space and room to make goddish claims without getting booted.  Out of curiosity, what inspired you to join an atheist site?

Haha, let’s call him up and congratulate him! Can anyone imitate Trump’s voice or spoof his caller ID or twitter handle?

@regthefronkeyfarmer ahaha hahahahaha!
