To your ill-placed, "Amen," does it not interest you that not one single person raised their hand on the flight? While it was a flight b/w Californicatia and Gotham, 2 areas not known for their conservative christian constituency, I think we can agree there were at least some christians on board.

So why didn't anyone raise their hands? Perhaps b/c it was ridiculously out of place, scary, goofy, insulting, personal, and possibly dangerous?

Maybe they didn't want to be ridiculed in public by the rest of the passengers, who they probably figured were atheists. Or maybe, like some here, they find religious expression in public to be "scary" (although in a different context). And who could blame them, in today's intolerent atmosphere? Look what's happening to this pilot, for one remark, and one question on a religious subject?

The pilot didn't force anyone. It was their own choice on whether to proclaim their faith.

As far as it being "scary,goofy,insulting,personal and possibly dangerous", hearing a man that had just come back from a missions trip all excited about spreading the word would be a really nice surprise compared to all the negative there is in the world today.AMEN(when praising the Lord, it's always correctly placed!)
