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.


Your turn to get a grip, Larry. You could say exactly the same thing
about a group of neo-nazi skinheads. "Sincerity" is no excuse for such
rude, boorish behavior.

I'm sincerely afraid to share the airspace with guys who
think someone Else is steering...


Then you really should quit flying.


Oh, man. People who don't believe God controls their actions shouldn't
fly? You're starting to sound a little creepy.

You misunderstand. If Jay is afraid to share the air with people who give God a significant place in their lives, then he should quit flying because I know the two he ran into aren't the only ones.

I think it's a matter of degree. God plays a "significant role" in this
country, without harm. If this is what you mean by "significant", I'm all
for it.

However, I got the impression that these guys, when confronted with an
in-flight emergency, might conceivably just sit back and wait for a miracle.
THAT scares me.

Just check what is printed on your money.

hmm. If government says that they trust in God ('In God we trust'), they
also must believe in Santa Claus.

Boy, now there's an argument that proves conclusively there must be a god.

Martin,

Just check what is printed on your money.


And then check the constitution. VERY disturbing.

Careful, now. "..Shall make no law barring..." is a far cry from
acknowledging a god. You'll need to come up with a better argument than
that, I'm afraid.

If you're going to use quotes, use them accurately:

" Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech,
or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to
petition the government for a redress of grievances. "

Seems to me "no" means "no" as in "none", "not any", "zero".

Maybe that is why we aren't using it anymore.
