Bible-beater pilots

Personally, I feel that we work too damned hard for our money to donate
it
to organized criminals.

Oh, give it a rest already, Jay. 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.

L O ****ing L! You assumed he was talking about the church too, eh? :-D

I think he was talking about the casino owners.

A lil touchy...no?

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.

Jay,
It might be a bit further, but check out the casino and buffet at
Baraboo/Dells. They pick you up at the airport also.

They feel a strong conviction to share the Lord's message with
folks who don't believe. They are going to a casino rather than a
church just as Jesus hung out with tax collectors and other 'sinners'

The funny thing is, neither Mary nor I gamble. We ONLY go to the casino
because:

a) They pick us up for free
b) The buffet is great! (And cheap!)

Once I told the Real Estate guy that fact, he seemed quite gratified. It
did not, however, sate his desire to preach.

You name the day, and we'll be there!

(Of course, the aviation-evangelists -- should we call them "Mooneys"? --
are from somewhere around there, so beware! :-)

Would that be the organized criminals that run the casino or the ones that run
the church

Actually I am a religious church goer, but I realize that there are a lot of
"churches" out there that are more interested in your wallet than your soul.
That is why I believe that no one should be compensated for their service in
the church. In the church I belong to that is the way it is. I also strongly
believe in sharing my religious beliefs with those I know, but there is a time
and a place for everything. What the two guys that you encountered were doing
isn't exactly what I would classify as "sharing" beliefs. I also don't think
that setting was the time or place, not even close.

Back in the 80's when people were forming churches for the tax
deductions, a couple pilot friends discussed forming the Church of
Whats Happening Now. Their airplanes were to be donated to the church
so that all their fuel and flying could be deducted as church business.

Are you referring to congresscritters, or preachers?

I like that.

Well you got THAT right Brian. Frankly god seems more than a bit
wierd and actually quite sadistic, given the death and despair
he/she/it tolerates in the world. Kills off the innocent, empowers
dictators, ethnic cleansing... yup, mysterious all right. And people
want to be near this being?
