Just because a few big names have been caught with their hands in the cookie jar, you think that every church in the world is an organization of criminals? Gimme a break.And you know, if this is the worst thing that's ever happened to you (and you seem to act as if it was), then your life could be a whole lot worse. Who said he was referring to a religion? He's talking about the government. |

My goodness, Jay. Get a grip Discussing whacko pilots isn't appropriate in a piloting newsgroup They hardly seemed like "whacko" pilots from your description. They seemed like sincere individuals with a message they thought they should share with you. I'll agree that they really should have quit when you resisted, but you really didn't need to go on about it as if it were the worst thing that's ever happened to you. Was it the worst thing that has ever happened to you I'm sincerely afraid to share the airspace with guys wh think someone Else is steering.. Then you really should quit flying |

...I would be interested to hear another pilot...give a cogent, logical scientifically-proven defense of your beliefs Is that possible C. S. Lewis was neither a pilot nor a scientist, but he does a good job of explaining things starting from a common reference point that has nothing to do with God or any kind of religion in his book, _Mere Christianity_ |

I think it was the utter "out of left field" nature of these guys that caught us both off guard. We were feeling really good about ourselves, and the day, and the flight, and all the sudden *wham!* -- we found ourselves knee-deep in a religious debate neither of us expected. I have a description of this effect. You're talking to someone and holding a seemingly-meaningful conversation, and suddenly they start quacking like a duck. They clearly still *think* you're having a conversation, but you're not.... This seems to manifest itself mostly in the realm of religion, but sometimes you see the effect with conspiracy theory people too. Mike Beede |

Who said he was referring to a religion He's talking about the government Oops, my bad. I see that now. But I don't think he's talking about the government. He gives his money to the government whether he wants to or not. I think he was referring to the casino... |

html head meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1" title/title /head body text="#000000" bgcolor="#ffffff" Jay, Jay, Jay! Look at the hornet's nest you have stirred up! Interesting post, and one that I can relate to, except it wasn't in a casino by an airport, but at the front door of my own home! I guess I got a Book of Mormon out of the whole deal (and not much more), so it wasn't so bad! Of course, they were back for a follow up session a few days later, and the chicken that I am, I got my roommate to tell them that I wasn't there (and he told them that he was not interested)! Ah well .....br br Reading Scet's post below, I must saw that I thought differently too. I had seen some of your conservative views (especially after 9/11), and so was all the more surprised by your post. I guess conservative, and religious don't necessarily go in the same sentence! :-) What do you know - you learn something new everyday!br br -Sridharbr br Scet wrote:br blockquote type="cite" " pre wrap=""!----To be perfectly honest with you Jay, most of my colleagues and myself are/were under the impression that most Americans are very religious, you know God bless America and all that stuff, where it is the opposite in Australia. In saying that, it surprises me that you aren't. I am not religious myself. When I find myself in a situation such as yours Jay, I cannot help but to "debate" if you like, the existance of God and the hipocracy of the various churches around the world. I don't let it become personal or childish but it invariably ends in the religious person having no answer but the old "Because it is Gods way/wish" or what ever. But that's just me Jay, there are times when I'll be straight to the point and say I'm not interested thank you, and adopt the speak to the hand pose. I think they should be treated like telemarketers. Keep it short and straight to the point, but give it to them right back, it's your free time and if your like me, they don't come very often, don't let it be spoiled by misdirected people. If they stop talking and the silence is awkward, let them know that you won't be offended if they move to another table. Scet /pre /blockquote /body /html |
