An American Airlines pilot appears to be in some hot water for promoting Christianity on a Los Angeles to New York flight:
Passenger Jen Dorsey told CNN's American Morning, "We were just at the beginning of our flight. The pilot came on to greet everyone and give his comments for the morning, and he said he'd recently been on a mission trip, and he'd like all the Christians to please raise their hands."
Fellow passenger Karla Austin said, "He said, 'If you are a Christian, raise your hand.' He said, 'If you are not, you're crazy.'"
The pilot asked passengers to look around at each other and use their 4 1/2-hour flight wisely or "just sit back and watch the movie," Dorsey recalled.
Maybe it's too obvious, but as a pilot, it seems the easiest way to get those "crazy" passengers to reconsider their heathen ways would be to put the plane into a nosedive and scream, "HOLY FUCKING SHIT! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!"
As St. Christopher once said: there are no atheists in a 737 caught in a flat spin.
A 'mission', huh? he says he's just been on a 'mission'? A mission to MECCA MOST LIKELY!! of course he wants us Christians to raise our hands; even now the STEWARDESSES are sprinking RICIN on our INFLIGHT PRETZELS!!!
I just raised Jesus on my cellphone and he's with us 100%. I got my nail scissors and my rolled-up copy of the Washington Times - let's roll.
What an ass this pilot is....reminds me of some of the self-righteous Bible-thumper folks I grew up with. Just further proof that this nation was founded by a rigid religious cult with a lasting legacy
When the passengers started grumbling, the pilot snapped "Hey! It's God's will that your continued existence on the planet is in the hands of a fucking nutjob like me! And it's God's will that the 'movie' I encouraged you to watch is 'The Wedding Planner', director's cut! And that Jimmy the bartender poured me some extra-strength Tanq and tonics! I'M! NOT!! RESPONSIBLE!!!"
