American Couple Dies Tragically While Biking Through ISIS Territory Trying To Prove Evil Does Not Exist
Benny Johnson 08/16/2018
An American couple decided to bicycle around the world in an attempt to prove evil does not exist. They chose to bicycle through ISIS territory and ISIS killed them.
The news of their deaths broke Aug. 8, but their story lives on in a tragic social media history.
Jay Austin and Lauren Geoghegan left their D.C. government jobs nearly two years ago to embark on a worldwide bike tour. The wide-eyed, optimistic couple kept track of their trips on a website where they posted stunning photos of their travels and whimsical musings on evil, the media and the goodness of people.
In one post, Austin — who is a vegan — said he worked for the Department of Housing and Urban Development during Obama’s presidency explained how he and his girlfriend were planning to bike around the world with hopes to meet “generous” and approachable people.
He did acknowledge that biking makes one more “vulnerable.”

Tragic, but more proof that liberalism is a form of mental illness.

I guess you could say, they proved just the opposite, that evil does indeed exist.
Very sad, how could they not believe it? What part of people torturing, killing, raping, hurting people and animals, etc etc. did they never see or hear of? Did they actually live such a sheltered life? Or did they want to believe in a fairy tale? Only problem is they were wrong, dead wrong. If they had read the Bible they could have gotten a much better understanding that there is none righteous, no, not one!! And that the heart is desperately wicked etc.

The Do-Gooders Who Got a Hard Lesson in the Existence of Evil
By Jeannie DeAngelis August 19, 2018
In 2001, believing he was Superman and could fly, a third-grade boy named Julian Roman attempted to jump rooftops in the Bronx. Julian died after slipping and smashing into an air conditioner protruding from an apartment window below. At the time of Julian's death, in Manalapan, New Jersey, a boy named Jay Austin was cultivating a Superman mentality similar to the one that cost Julian his life.
Born in New York, Jay grew up in Monmouth County, attended the University of Delaware, and earned a master's degree from Georgetown University. It was at Georgetown that Jay met fellow unicorn-chaser Lauren Geoghegan. Austin, a vegan, spent his days advocating for sustainable living, worked for the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) during the Obama administration, and owned a trendy micro-house he parked in Washington, D.C.
In 2017, Jay decided to follow in Julian Roman's footsteps and tempt fate. At the time, Austin wrote on his bicycle blog that "[t]here's magic out there, in this great big beautiful world." Apparently, Jay believed that "wishing for kind human beings" supernaturally creates kind human beings. So, to prove that his brand of "magic" had power, he and girlfriend Lauren gave two weeks' notice and embarked on a cycling journey.
In the second year of the couple's intercontinental bike trek, on a quest to prove that those perceived to be evil for beheading enemies with hunting knives, drowning cages full of helpless men, and burning people alive just "hold values and beliefs and perspectives different than our own," Jay and Lauren pedaled into ISIS recruitment territory.
In the midst of virtue-signaling, the bicycle enthusiasts delivered warm hugs and sunflower sentiments to the "astoundingly generous" people living in the central Asian Muslim republic of Tajikistan. The problem is that the area borders Afghanistan and is also known for recruiting ISIS J.V. team members, lacks religious freedom, and is guilty of widespread human rights violations.
