How about Luke 4:9-12?

[@Deerugs]

god didn’t do a thing

[@jacklagers1298]

Andre Taylor how do you know that?

[@myttydohun4851]

Jack Lagers How could one possibly know that god DID do it? To make a claim of a positive you are required to provide evidence, this is basic logic. If you cannot provide evidence then it would be reasonable to say god didn’t play a part. If I told you I turned into a unicorn when no one could possibly see or witness it in any way or form, you’d need some damn evidence, wouldn’t you?

[@ironmaz1]

@@myttydohun4851 God did play a part FOR HIM. The function of religion is to improve you as a human being by allowing you to give praise to an entity greater than yourself. It is not to furnish evidence for scientific inquiry that God has directly been the cause of events (which is after all a matter of belief and not accessible to us as scientific evidence is), nor does it mean you have to stop being a skeptic in anything else once you are religious :)

The fact that he is having a full blown conversation

HE WASN'T KIDDING ABOUT THE BLINDFOLD

[@chuckles218]

just would like to point out to all the people that dont live here or know much about chicago but the nickname for the city is the windy city..its always windy so i cant imagine how hard that must make it for him on the rope, what a talented man.

[@Phannty]

It's not named the Windy City because it's windy. If you were a true Chicagoan you'd know that. I live in Chicago I know. You probably don't

[@TraceurDoc1]

Phannty I also live in Chicago. The windy city is for the "windy" politicians, but the city now lives up tp that name at times. IF you're in the loop at least. The buildings act as a wind funnel, and it's windy AF downtown. Usually on windy days this wind is intensified due to this. Also when you're near the lake that wind can blow through you in the winter, ouch!

[@lauratobar210]

It's not called the windy city cuz of wind, it's called the windy city because of the wave of successful business men that came to the city....you should know that...

[@joecooper3535]

Laura Tobar actually no it’s called windy because the politicians were known as windbags. That’s where the name comes from

[@robertmartin1807]

It was given that name for its politics. Ironically Chicago is a Windy City and very very cold! So it fits the description.

[@lilac819]

Omg and having a conversation while doing this??? Stop talking to him and let him concentrate! My heart is pounding.

[@nuchzara97]

Totally agree!

jannis joplin Please just stop .. none of your business

[@frogsaregay1003]

@jannis joplin His entire family supported him the entire way. His wife is in a several-generation acrobat family, and his kids have seen their dad do this their entire lives. He didn't chase the world record specifically, he just enjoys to push what's possible for himself. Besides, what gives you the right to determine what he should be doing with his life?

[@deplorabled1695]

@jannis joplin Didn't you destroy your life with drugs?

[@bcooney24]

I think he has some technique for if he falls he does something to fall in a certain way so as to grab the wire and hang onto it until a rescue team arrives. That’s what it sounded like based on his answer at the end when they asked him if he was ever afraid of falling.

[@siddharthhota6832]

he is insanely great
