apparently the pilot was still on his Jesus high from his missionary work.

from the article...

An American Airlines pilot asked Christians on his flight to identify themselves and discuss their religion with non-Christian passengers, the airline said.


wow, that takes nerve. As if a flight cross-country isn't bad enough.
 
I'd be worried about his flying ability rather than his PR goof-off. It would seem that he would be more than ready-and-willing to put all his trust in Jeebus rather than his flying skills and technical crew and all the neato electric stuff that planes have these days. Surely the panting and sweating and staring, crossed eyes and slightly shouting voice would have given the others a clue too, before he got in the driver's seat...
 
Well it gives you something to do I suspose. Particluarly if the cristians on the plane turned out to be young earth creationists
 
To the person who's giving all the threads a 1-star rating... You missed this one...


(not that I'm saying this thread deserves one... haven't even read it... I just hate seeing incomplete work.)
 
I would ask if other religions or the atheists get equal time.

Then I would use my imagination to think up bizarre rituals that my satanic cult engaged in. I would tell young mothers that babies under the age of 2 are best for sacrifice. I'd describe the orgies to every male between the ages 12-18 I could find (I'll bet I'd get some conversions). I would make sure I'd got this idiots name and flooded his email and snail mail with every type of satanic literature I could find or invent. It's a two way street bub!
 
Trying to think what I would do if I was on that flight....considering I am a Jewish atheist. Hmmmm. It is difficult to fathom. Did any Christians actually follow the pilot's instructions?
 
hmmmm...

religion + aircraft?

Generally not a very good idea.
 
The Rapture Ready folks thought the pilot was the greatest thing since sliced bread. Apparently they are all eagerly emailing AA and begging them not to fire him.

One alert RR member reminded the others that the pilot could have been a member of one of the "cults" of Christianity--Mormonism or JW.

Anyway, I thought it was amusing to read the other perspective.
 
"Hey kids, I'm pilot of the plane and I think we should all meet JESUS! Whudaya say about that!"

I really wonder what the RR folks reaction would be had that Pilot asked all Muslims on board to identify with all the non-Muslims...

I probably would have stood up and shouted "Hey FlyBoy, Eat Me". But I've been known to take shortcuts in these sort of debates.

Not only would the RR reaction be utter outrage I have a feeling the plane would have been chaperoned by a couple of fighter jets and made to land at the nearest airport. Then Ashcroft and that homeland security chief (whose name escapes me at the moment) would hold a press conference promising a full investigation and that the pilot will be held as an enemy combatant.

I dunno. The Wright Brothers, apparently, were extremely religious; their father was an influential preacher.

But mistaking a cockpit for a pulpit seems like a bad idea, I agree.

Why do they call it a cockpit? Isn't that were cock fights take place?

Originally yes. Also the place in a man-o-war where the wounded were taken in battle.
