And if this Christian pilot was psychotic and was hearing voices and attributing them to God, how would you feel about flying with him?

Wow - I can't imagine too many people keeping their jobs if they choose to preach to people who didn't ask for it, and might be offended or scared by it - especially by an airline pilot who's got their lives in his hands.

If anyone pulled that on me while I was doing business with their employer - I would complain loudly and hope they were straightened and encouraged to find a job that had that in the job description.

Dude,


I know this is your way, but it is STILL off-putting to some of us.

I don't fly well anyway. Someone comes over during a flight and starts to kite Jesus at me, I'm gonna feel scared and threatened.


Is this what your G-d wants?

You seriously don't think there's anything inappropriate about imposing this kind of religious proselytizing on a captive audience at 30,000 feet? You're nutty.

Honestly, it's that kind of attitude - that you have a mandate and a right to convert everyone who crosses your path, whether they want to hear it or not - that turns so many people off from religion. It comes across as very sanctimonious, condescending, and arrogant for you to be telling grown adults what's best for them (in your opinion). Do you not think that triggers a "who are you?" reaction from most people?

It's very counter-productive if you want to know the truth. Give that some thought.
