Oh the irony!
“The spirits of darkness are now among us. We have to be on guard so that we may realize what is happening when we encounter them and gain a real idea of where they are to be found. The most dangerous thing you can do in the immediate future will be to give yourself up unconsciously to the influences which are definitely present.” ~ Rudolf Steiner
MURICA!!!!!!!!

What the heck. So irony is ironic, but why do some people have to take every opportunity to bash religious beliefs?
People like that must have deep rooted personal insecurities.
Feel sorry for the bird, but nonetheless.
“One may come to the aid of another being unlawfully arrested, just as he may where one is being assaulted, molested, raped or kidnapped. Thus it is not an offense to liberate one from the unlawful custody of an officer, even though he may have submitted to such custody, without resistance.” (Adams v. State, 121 Ga. 16, 48 S.E. 910).

I think that's clear to most people, myself included.

My sister in law is a sophomore there. Will have to ask her about this? lolz
I didnt say you are... Did you read the article's text, and worse yet, the comments?
But, yes, there are some here on RPF who love nothing more than to insult those people who have a spiritual conviction. Deep seated insecurities keep them from just accepting others who believe in a god or whatever.

Oh okay, I understand what you're saying. Yes, the article and comments are quite idiotic. The irony went right over most of their heads, nevertheless.

Religious beliefs? I don't get it. Where were religious beliefs invoked in this conversation?
Never mind. I see now. You're right, the religion-bashing was uncalled for. He just had to make that jab because of the obvious opportunity. What's more, it doesn't even have anything to do with the story. The eagle is a symbol of the nation, not the Christian religion. There are a million ways one could interpret the phrase "become eagles for Christ", and that writer did not have to go that direction just to bash Christianity. That alone makes it a very unprofessional article.

I think it's a religious university and this crap was going on inside the church and it had to do with some religious ceremony that was tied to patriotism.
That's actually a good time to bash religion, or at least make fun of the silly portion of religion, however far you think that extends.

At which point will Americans realize that creating an unaccountable institution that is able to pass its liability on to tax-payers is immoral and attracts sociopaths?
The irony is even deeper... It is a PERFECT representation of the fact that we THINK we are free, just like that eagle might have thought that for a brief moment... but we are really captive in an enclosure and if we try and get out will smash into the glass wall and be stunned (or killed), just like the eagle.
And Americans, by and large, are nothing more than a bunch of monkeys in a cage, flinging poop at each other, screaming "USA!"
It is a perfect video clip of what America is today on many levels...
I have seen through it all... the system is against us. ALL OF IT.
I understand it's illegal to even own a feather from one of those birds. I'd like to know how they managed to dodge the law and have an entire bird in their possession.
*smh*
Irony. In a chapel built to honor and worship Christ, they honor and worship a Nation. Small wonder that the eagle is shocked and disoriented.
Mmmm, irony.
Great points! +rep

Insecure much? What religion is it that you see the bald eagle representing and being bashed?

I am a libertarian. I am advocating everyone enjoy maximum freedom on both personal and economic issues as long as they do not bring violence unto others.
I say bash them, the blasphemers.
Edit read the article again, and now I just don't know if I understand the last paragraph. I could be wrong in my initial assessment.

I wonder who the idiot was that thought that was a good idea.
Sad for the bird.
Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

That could have been a disaster for the bird as it could have broken it's neck.I wonder who the idiot was that thought that was a good idea.

Yeah,, I finally read the article.. "a Professional Handler"
That explains some..

Blind patriotism is our worse enemy aside from corrupt government. Blind patriotism is worse when in crowds. I just scoff at the people chanting usa usa. If only they knew what some people know about the horrid of our government. Just like people that supported nazis.
I bet people who have blind patriotism will be the first ones to turn liberty people into the authorities >.>
