Fascinating. Now, suppose the pilot were a Buddhist or a Hindu (we have lots of both here in the USA). I wonder if reaction would be different.

I'm an atheist, and I didn't come by my atheism by being ignorant of Christian teachings. I don't need or want to be proselytized while travelling on an airliner, where I am a captive audience.

This pilot should confine his preaching to some venue where people are not required to be.

Now, I don't think he should get fired or anything, but I'll bet this never happens again. American Airlines has lots and lots of passengers who are not Christians. I doubt they would like to lose their business.

WE KNOW. You announce it more times than John Kerry announces he was in Vietnam. I'm waiting for you to throw a cross over the White House fence.

Now, suppose the pilot were an atheist, and his comment was "There is no God". Would it be time to panic yet?
