Doesn't sound like what he said was all that objectionable.

I would prefer that my airline pilot not be too confident about going to Heaven.

I'd rather fly with a pilot who's somewhat concerned that he might burn in Hell.

Doesn't sound like what he said was part of his job description.

I don't want my pilot 'entertaining' the passengers. He has more important duties.

[babble-on]

a lot of other good points on this thread about why he shouldn't have done this, but I agree with you, too.

Compared to the first version I read of this story, this version sounds like no big deal, and I can't really see people being too offended on the religion side of it. What he said was relatively innocuous in the first place, and he apologized later when he found out people were non-plussed.

I'm going to send him some flowers for Tu B'Shvat.

I strongly agree.

People weren't strong armed into raising their hands as Christians

and they certainly weren't strong armed into talking to a Christian.

What an uproar about nothing.

Evil is sooooooooo hyper sensitive!
