Umm, dimwit, by saying that I was afraid he knew something I didn't, I was being sarcastic. In other words, did he know we were about to crash, and I didn't etc.

Anyway, I'm quite familliar with the local Christian church, and what they don't have to offer, thanks.

You should fight fire with, well, fire. Break out your Sam Harris or Richard Dawkins book the next time a Holy Spirit led Christian takes out his Bible to do a little scripture reading!

Just knock it off below ten. Peace.

Heyas,

Actually, some of the "mildest" and most pleasant Christians I've come across in my travels are the Mormons.

Unfailingly polite, clean, and pleasant...I've never had one try to push anything or hassle me in any way about anything. In fact, they won't even mention it unless you ask. They leave the sales jobs to their youth which they send out door to door, but they also are clean cut and polite, and will stay shooed away if you tell them to go away.

Just about every Mormon I've met I'd be happy to call a friend (they also seem to have organizational skills which makes big jobs much easier...a bunch of people show up knowing exactly what to do), which is something I CAN'T say about the local fundamentalist church.

Nu

PS Before anyone asks, I'm Episcopal, which means "Catholic Lite". As I understand it, there is no hell, just purgatory, and even that is similar to the snack bar after the 9th hole on the golf course....some place to hang out until the rain stops.

Read "Under the Banner of Heaven". Very enlightening. It's not "main stream" Mormonism for the most part but shows what can happen (like with ANY religion) when people get extreme. And make sure you check this out while we're on this subject.

take your religion out of the cockpit, and back to the welfare line with the rest of the majority of thumpers

Those folks are really sick. I'm gonna cross Topeka Kansas off my "places to vacation" list. I can tolerate just about everything except intolerance.

STOP QUOTING PAGE-LONG POSTS YOU FVCKING NERDS!!!!

LANYARDS SIMPLY DENOTE WHO WENT FROM BEING A LATCH-KEY KID, TO BE A LATCH-KEY ADULT!!!

I'm religeous, but the only thing that I speak up about is when the hotel van driver puts the Christian station on the radio. They either turn it off at my request, or pick up their last paycheck when they get back from the airport.

That is exactly what is wrong with this country. People forcing their likes and dislikes on other people or throwing a hissy when they don't get their way. What is to you if you have to listen to a radio station you don't like for a ten minute van ride? Have a little courtesy for the driver who is in the van all day. Van service is a privilege, by the way, not a right.

I don't like hip-hop but I don't threaten to have the driver fired if he won't change the station.

If I were the hotel manager you complained to, I'd have you get another accomodations for the night.

Nice stereotyping. Totally off base though. Did you know that the Bible actually says:

Second Thessalonians - Chapter 3:10

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]10. For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: "If a man will not work, he shall not eat." [/FONT]​

So much for welfare!

The Bible actually teaches a good work ethic, something a lot of Americans need to learn. And the Bible talks more about good financial management than it does Hell.

If this comment was aimed at me;

then you really do need to read "Under the Banner of Heaven". It's by Jon Krakauer and is anything but Bible thumping.

Ya know, had to be one of those bleeding heart Obama/Hildabeast supporters that preaches tolerance of everything (except of course Christian or remotely conservative)...

you really hit the nail on the head, there, pal

I can't imagine anyone who dosen't believe in God or Jesus flying me and my family around. We know now what happens when people who believe in Allah take over our planes. I'm not scared to post this and people that disagree can kiss it.

You Sir are an Idiot. I used the term "Sir' loosely.

NuGuy,

I think your post bout Thor rocks!!!!

I spilt half a beer over my laptop cuz of your antics. You made my night!


BTW I fly w a guy named Thor too.

Yes Hairynuts, did you not know that if you don't agree with every bit of religous dogma that every different fundamentalist nutcase spews forth then you are a homosexual by definition. And of course all homosexuals as a matter of staple diet prefer feces. (See earlier posted video if you don't believe me.) If you believe the earth is older then 6000 years then you, sir, prefer sex with other men. If you don't believe Jonah lived inside of a fish for three days and three nights before being puked up onto dry land or if by chance you don't believe that god was actually fearful that certain townspeople were really capable of building a tower to heaven thus requiring him (and it is a him) to step in and make them all speak different languages so as to foil their plans then you, sir, clearly enjoy eating poop. Good luck in he!! Hairy, which of course is literally, geographically located directly in the center of the earth.
Now I'm going to go find some devout christian pilot working this Sunday and I'm going to stone him to death.

I like the story where the demon was driven out of the victim and into a herd of pigs. The pigs then ran into the water and drowned the demon-- and themselves.

I bet that pig herder was some kind of ticked off:

"HEY!!! I don't care Who's kid you are, someone is paying for those pigs!!!"

Your ridicule is only mildly entertaining. You're so over the top with your remarks, you're overdone it, you could do better.

Seriously though, there are plenty of Christians, believe it or not, who don't buy the age of the earth story. The black and white of what makes one a Christian is have you believed and received Jesus Christ as you personal savior and Lord. And if you have, you would know that (1) God Loves all persons, even Homosexuals, and (2) Christians aren't perfect, just forgiven, and (3) The old (Old testament laws) is gone, the new (New testament and Jesus' grace and mercy) has come. Besides, the old testament 10 commandments were given to God's people, the Israelites / Hebrews, and the one about breaking the Sabbath hasn't been strictly enforced for milleniums, probably. I don't like working Sundays, but do I? Sure. See you tomorrow BTW.

 

[sperfly]

Poo poo. I don't even wear a lanyhard. I was drunk when I made my original post and have even tried to remove it. Let me start over. I was just pissed that some stupid women had the nerve to call someone out about what they were wearing, it's really none of her business. And the fact that this thread has gone this far is pretty nuts, and I guess there are people from all sides in this profession. Anyway I do believe in God and I am by no means a perfect Christian, I drink way to much and I cuss far worse than most, and I've never really even read the Bible. What gets on my nerves is every time you turn around someone is trying to take the right of another person to show his or her stance on anything away, because it's offensive. And its usually the minority that get their way.

 

[Blucher]

Sperfly, don't feel bad about having never really read the Bible, that's true of most of the extreme 'Christians.' You know, the ones that most 'true' Christians are embarrassed by. The ones who focus only on one little passage, usually taken out of context, and use it to justify their own personal agenda. If these people ever took the time to keep on reading, they'd come away with a very different view. It appears that you have at least gotten the over-all gist of what it's about: tolerance, understanding and compassion for your fellow humans. Although it drags a bit in parts, it is worth the read. Although taking it literally and then blowing up an abortion clinic puts a person right in the same category as any other terrorist.

....tolerance, understanding and compassion for your fellow humans.

What groups are supposed to be tolerent???????????? Only one group demands tolerence.........then is completely intolerent of those they demand this from!!!!!!!!!

[Richard Gozinya]

....blowing up an abortion clinic......

For God's sake would someone PLEASE remind me of the last time this frequently discussed Abortion clinic bombings occured! They are discussed like they happen everyday.

PLEASE!!!!!

Dick

 

[Richard Gozinya]

Does it not bother anyone that there have been 42 million abortions since '73?

Thats 42,000,000! Hell there are only 300,000,000 in the whole fvckin' country.

Sorry, 330,000,000 if you count the illegal aliens.

According to my very quick internet search it was in 1998, killing an off duty police officer and wounding a nurse.

All are supposed to be tolerant. The intolerance comes from misinterpretation and/or misunderstanding.

I'd bet that bothers lots of people. Then again, how many more unwanted children do we, as a society, need? Is the life of a crack-whore really something to be desired or forced upon someone?

Thanks for the info, almost 10 years. Wow, most of the FO's I fly with were in 9th grade then.

Blucher, thanks for the response. I had to much coffee this morning and the brain was working overtime. Just a few questions that jumped out at me.

If you take the number of abortions, then link it to the number of illegal aliens to receive amesty, then it sort of makes sense. More tax payers, more social security "contributors".

Tolerence is a two way street.
