Instead, he decide (his own words here) to "trust God and the Cessna engineers" and let go of the controls. The plane eventually righted itself. Irrational beliefs ultimately lead to irrational acts. Then again, there are lots of irrational folks around, with all sorts of belief systems. Doesn't mean his belief system is irrational; maybe it is, maybe not, but you'd have to look a lot deeper than that to know. Maybe it was just his action that was irrational, not his belief system. "Trust God" is perfectly rational as far as it goes, but this guy's actions say a lot more about his own rationality & judgement (or lack thereof), than about his belief system. It was poor judgement followed by an irrational decision to do nothing, not his belief system, that almost got him killed. There's no need to make derogatory comments about things you don't know nearly enough about to make a judgement. Or maybe you were referring to the rationality of trusting the Cessna engineers. I'm not qualified to comment on that -- I fly a Tomahawk. -Dan |
