Two Tunisian pilots were today sentenced to 10 years in prison because of their actions in a 2005 plane crash off the coast of Sicily which resulted in the deaths of 19 people (pictured left). The pilots, flying for Turkish Airlines, prayed to their god instead of taking essential emergency measures before the plane crashed in the sea. They managed to emerged unscathed, and waited with the rest of the survivors on the wings of the plane for rescue.
Two things could have happened. Their god could have heard their loud and frantic prayers before the crash and saved their lives, whilst condemning the most wicked 19 passengers on the jet to a premature death and a quick trip to fiery oblivion. Or the gross negligence displayed by two pilots charged with the duty to keep passengers safe could have resulted in up to 19 unnecessary deaths.
A Politic Blunder feels that mandatory atheism might be a good idea for all jobs where mindlessly jabbering prayers could interfere with the execution of one's duties and place other people's lives at risk. But that might just be the rage and disgust talking.

I actually think 10 years is kinda harsh for essentially panicking in a moment that he clearly shouldn't have as he was responsible for the lives of others; then again, maybe not. I leave it to those with power to decide the righteousness of others actions.
