"Would you like this flower from the Church of Religious Consciousness?"

I think that's how the line from Airplane went...

Well, that went over like a lead-balloon!

Wow was his letter misinterpreted. I received the letter as well and I was thankful for it. It was in no-way intended to 'Bring all you heathens' in to hear about his beliefs in God! It was quite clear that the entire intent of the letter is so that people who believe the same way the writer does would come and share with him in his beliefs. If being offended is something worth 'notify the proper people' about, then I better start talking to the proper people on the way the f-bomb is dropped like it's going out of style, how pornography is watched, touched, passed around, and drooled over and if you say you're not interested the response is, "What, are you a homo??", and I should also mention the CA who kept pushing and pushing me because he saw a sticker on my bag and realized what I believed and for some reason was intent on telling people I hate all homosexuals. What was really funny was when one of our homosexual flight attendants told the CA to go fly a kite!

Now, I don't list these things because I'm offended and holding a grudge. I list them because I think EVERYBODY could make their own list about things they are "offended" about. Shoot, some people are probably offended because you didn't offend them! The people with true character, though, are the ones who say, "No thanks - not my thing" and then go on with their happy life.

XJHawk - Please do us a favor and just and move on with your happy life.

Thanks,

I have now stepped off of the soapbox.

On a different note, I discuss religion openly to some captains that ask about it. I fly with many mormon captains (hint hint) that ask about my islamic faith. Its mostly on the last day of a four day and they alway start off by "would you mind if i ask you about..."

I am open about my religion and we end up having a very good discussion on religions and world topics. In no way do i ever over step my boundaries and neither does he. We dont shove it into each others faces about our religions and we have an open ended discussion.

I dont necessarily think that speaking about religion is a bad thing if, and only if the discussion is between two mature, professional adults.

On the other hand, how do most of you feel about praying when you are not in company time or on extended breaks? I know its the month of ramadan and whenever i get the chance i pray on the side where i am not as visible. Do companies look down upon that or they treat it as if you are on your own time.

No no no! HERE, is the Way of the Masters ... http://www.venganza.org/

I know its the month of ramadan

It is also the most holy month of Ramendan, for those of us who have been touched by HIS noodly appendage. Praise the Flying Spaghetti Monster! Glory!

Hawk,

"Man, you're one Pathetic Looooossser!"

~DUMB N' DUMBER~ Just felt like a movie quote!

Sirrssly Tho,

How about you just tell yourself that someone was just trying to push your buttons with the email and knew you'd get all wound up (like a joke), then you can just let it go. Just a thought, dont let it get to you! I can agree with both sides, small potatoes compared to whats ahead for XJ'ers.

Sorry but you have to understand

For Chrisitians, they are called and directed to share the Gospel with others, they want to help you get right with God. They don't think they are better than you, but it is their duty.

They are called not to keep it private but to tell all the people in the world.
You can't keep the best news in the world a secret.

Good for you. I wish more people where like you.And no, as long as you pray on the side, where your not as visable, I won't look 'down' at you.
