--- Quote ---NBC News Reporter Stops Returning Carnival Cruise Passenger From Quoting Bible

As stranded Carnival Cruise passengers began finally disembarking in Mobile, Alabama, late Thursday evening, MSNBC had NBC News correspondent Mark Potter on the scene to speak with them.

One young lady during her over three minute interview tried to cite a Bible verse that helped her get through the ordeal, but Potter pulled his microphone away and quickly ended the discussion...

MARK POTTER, MSNBC REPORTER: It sounded like you guys handled it pretty well. Were there some passengers who seemed to have a really rough time on board?

BRITTANY FERGUSON, RETURNING STRANDED CARNIVAL CRUISE PASSENGER: Oh, absolutely.

POTTER: Tell me about that.

FERGUSON: Well there, it was just really frustrating. There’s rumors going around because we’re completely disconnected. We had no idea if like, “Oh my gosh, do people even miss us? Do people even know about this?”

KENDALL JENKINS, RETURNING STRANDED CARNIVAL CRUISE PASSENGER: They'd be running “extended vacation.” I’d be saying, “Absolutely not.”

FERGUSON: Yeah, not an extended vacation.

POTTER: And would you do this again? Would you take another cruise, or is this it?

JENKINS: No. We're thinking about teaming up and sell ours. So if anyone is looking for a discounted cruise, we got one.

POTTER: You're not about to go back?

JENKINS: No, but one thing I do want to say that really made a huge difference in my time versus some other people’s time is we knew where hope was. We knew the Lord was in complete control of the situation. Our verse for the trip was Joshua 1:9 which is…

POTTER: [Takes microphone away] Okay, well thank you both very much. Enjoy your trip home to Houston and enjoy that first warm shower and that warm meal. Thank you very much. Thanks for talking with us.

JENKINS: [Before walking away] Joshua 1:9, look that up.

The "offensive" bible verse the NBC "reporter" deemed too controversial for broadcast?


--- Quote ---Joshua 1:9
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

There was a time - not long ago - when people's stories of faith pulling them through adversity would have been a prime interest angle of the news media. They are trying to rob us of all that we are and have ever been.

Kind of reminds of the recent story in a lot of the science news publications. Some scientists have been studying things like cosmic rays and discovered a baffling order and consistency, leading them to speculate on the possibility that the entire universe is in essence a giant computer simulation.

I'm not even discounting the idea, what I take note of is that they just have to come up with some convoluted way of saying the creation of God. I mean, isn't "computer simulation" just some couched way of saying "God's universe" while trying to keep it in the realm of science and technology.

Renaissance scientist liked to ponder on "the watchmaker", so to put a modern twist on that I say these scientists should ponder on "the computer programmer".

Alphabet Soup:
One of my all-time favorite Sci-Fi movies is "The Day The Earth Stood Still (the original with Michael Rennie, not the remake with what's his name).

In one scene "Klaatu" is taking in the sight of the landed spaceship with his new-found friend "Bobby". A roving reporter is eliciting reactions to the alien craft from the gathered spectators. The reporter seeks out Klaatu for his opinion but, when that opinion doesn't comport with his alarmist meme he is cut off. Apparently the art of twisting the news to fit ones agenda isn't anything new.

Reporter or propagandist - you decide.
