Good job, Captain Christian Pilot!

Who'd have been upset with the man if he'd reminded everyone to call their mother and father after a trip home? Well, he just spent some time working with his Father.

The man was just coming off a mission trip. He was bubbling over with the Good News. I'm proud that he did this, I pray that someone benefited Maybe *all* of the non-believers *and* believers on the plane. Someone besides me, I mean, because this story made my day.


I was raised with the idea that it's not right to push your religion on to unwilling listeners without an invitation. However, a simple suggestion or comment is not too pushy. And a Christian example is never wrong.

Asking all the believers on the plane to identify themselves and begin trying to convert their neighbors is a "simple suggestion"? What the pilot did was unprofessional and ridiculously rude, to Christians and non-Christians alike.

Perhaps people who have lost their parents tragically?

That's an opinion, and probably different than the opinion of the majority of people worldwide that aren't Christians. IMO it's just wrong to pimp your religion or politics at work.

Someone coming from his mother's funeral

Amen Bro. This is one of the greatest things I have ever heard, and I am LMAO. The pilot was all fired up and couldn't hold back. He is out on the spiritual front lines kicking a$$ and I applaud him for it.

Mark 8:38
If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels.

Luke 8:16
No one lights a lamp and hides it in a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he puts it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light.

John 1:5
The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood

Here here! Amazing how reprobates cower at the first mention of religion. Not unlike vampires faced with garlic, or liberals faced with the truth.

So if the pilot said exactly the same thing, except he asked Muslims to raise their hands and discuss the Koran with non-Muslims, it would be okay with you?
