the "right" to judge others which you all feel you have, but sadly,
according to every faith on this planet, you clearly lack.

Remember, judge not, lest ye be judged.

I hate to resort to name calling, but you asked for it. What a
self-righteous ass you are.

There are many beliefs in this world, and thank whatever supreme being there
may well be that we live in a country where you can choose to follow
whatever faith (including none) you want.

I don't have the patience or good manners of Mr. Honeck; after a polite
explanation to any bible thumpers in mid-proselytize, if they persisted I
would tell them to f-off.

It's clear you and your family have no moral guidance. I can see how

Sure, faith is a personal thing, but we're also commanded to spread the

hypocrites who want to tell you something important while sitting in a
casino. Well they are as imperfect as the rest of us. Who knows - maybe
they go to the casino just to evangelize because they know there are

people
there like you who need to hear it. It's the message that's important,

not
the person delivering it. Your rejection of the message does not diminish
its truth. Feel free to continue denying God, it is obviously your

choice.
It is your unalienable right in this great country to have whatever

If you think your own inner self, your conscience, your innate sense of
right and wrong should be your guide, if you think its enough just to be a
good person, then you've got it all backwards.

Your prolific newsgroup posting over the last several years now has

provided
some interesting insight into your personality. We know what you look

like,
where you live, what you like to do, where you like to go, how you earn a
living. Isn't it time you quit worshipping the Pathfinder parked out back
and sought out some real meaning to why you're here ? Some real guidance

in
your life ? Pick up the Bible and take another look. That's the real

POH.
It's especially hard for smart, successful people like yourself to believe
that they need Jesus because it makes them accept the fact that they are
inadequate and incomplete without Him. Well get used to that concept.

From
the janitor to the CEO and from the gambler to the hotel owner, that is
exactly what we all need. The only difference is in how long it takes

each
of us to figure it out and make the single most important decision your
entire life. To accept Jesus or reject him. It's just between you and

Him,
nobody else. What is it going to be ?

Ian..Its pretty arrogant and elitist to assume that your religious point
of view is "the one true belief" and trumps all others.

It should be plainly obvious that religion is a creation of man, and not
of a supreme being... because there are too many different flavors.
Hindu, Muslim, Catholic, Jewish and the hundred versions of
protestantism that exist out there..

Jay... my advice is next time... simply say.. "I prefer not to discuss
religion". If that doesnt work, then politely excuse yourself and say,
Im sorry... "But I asked not to talk about this".. and leave. Part of
their game is playing on the "polite obligation" that is part of good
manners. Wether they come knocking on your door in pairs, or flying in
by Mooney, you have no obligation to listen to their proselytic drivel.

I'm reminded of Shakespeare at this time, and one of the many
great lines, this one from the comedy As You Like It (II, vii, 139-143)

"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players."

And if the Reviews don't get better, She's going to close the show!

OK, I'll admit it...I'm confused. Who's trolling, Jay or Ian? For
the love of the Golden Calf, this is an _aviation_ newsgroup!
