this solidifies my view that people are, in fact, stupid.
I mean, people worried about there safety after he said that. What the heck?!? They are stupid.

I've heard some people talk about it.. it seems like this world really fears a fundementalist. why? all a fundamentalist is is someone who believes in the fundamentals. they're like "after hearing that, people felt afraid after knowing that their pilot was a fundamentalist" wow. that's really scary *extreme sarcasm*
besides, why should that be offensive? and... who cares? nobody has the right not to be offended.
besides, if someone did that on my flight, say perhaps, he was a muslim (k, not a muslim, they had a history of crashing planes into things) but whatever, I wouldn't be offended. I'd be like.. he's stupid. but...
yeah, people are stupid.

Sorry, but I've left this alone long enough and just cannot ignore this anymore. I respect everyone here and would not do this unless I did. Get a grip on the condescending remarks - no matter how you want to justify it, it is wrong. Pure and simple.

Matthew 5:22
But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

If I heard my pastor say something demeaning like that - regardless of the facts involved - I'd take the same step I just did and correct him as a Christian brother should another Christian brother. I love everyone here and I hold no judgment against anyone. But such things as belittling God's prize creation also demean God, whether you know it or not. It is a matter of respect - for God and what God created.

God bless,
Matt

um, was that to me, or the pilot, or the fundamentalaphobics?

EDIT: I think it's me.

EDIT AGAIN: I know it's me.
