But I wanted to send a message — that message being that people need to be responsible for what they post online. I have access to their information — including an IP address that can be used to trace it back to their computer — and can turn it over to the authorities if I feel threatened by any of their radical fundamentalist comments.

Frankly, I’m tired of the bullshit going on here. The abusive commentary and attitude of these “god-fearing christians” is absolutely appalling. While it was fun for a while to see how hypocritical they could be, I have better things to do with my time — even if they don’t.

I will remove the e-mail address in my comment (and yours) and simply shut down the comments for these two posts.

Thanks very much for the reality check. I guess I needed it.

Maria Langer :

Roger: Thanks for your very creative “Christian” commentary. The other folks who read this might be interested to know that you provided the e-mail address [redacted] and commented from IP address [redacted].

Thanks again for stopping by. The google juice provided by entertaining comments like yours is sure appreciated.

Since it specifically says “Email will not be published” I don’t think it a great idea to post his email here.

Otherwise I sympathize with your position.

Thanks for your support. I’ll be writing about “god-fearing” pilots shortly. That topic is too good to pass up.

To start, I’ve flown with Maria, and will fly with her again.

With this post and the earlier post, we have a war between the non-believers and the believers. The non-believers wish to express their feelings that they should have freedom from organized religion, and the believers wish to castigate the non-believers.

Where in the New Testament does Jesus berate the non-believers? Guess what..nowhere. He berates those who would believe, but pick and choose what is their personal agenda (read: easiest). BTW, the non-believers weren’t reading, and therefore weren’t berated.

As someone who was raised with a Judeo-Christion background, I am, of course at a disadvantage, I am required to look at this from the position of a Deist.

The question that I would pose is: Am I reflecting the philosophy of the Old and New Testament by LIVING like a Christian, or am I reflecting the philosophy of the Old and New Testament by TALKING like a Christian?

Please spare me your personal opinion, as I’ve already made my decision. Your personal decision is up to you, but I’ll make my decisions about you based on how you live, not how you talk.

A Peaceful Heart to All Who Read This,

Going to war over religion is like getting into a fight over who’s imaginary friend is better.

Maria: I’d have no problem getting into a helicopter with you – I’d rather a pilot who relies on training & engineering to keep it working in a jam rather than someone who falls back on myth. Remember the pilot who paused to pray instead of doing his emergency procedures:

Imagine if Sully & Stiles had done something this stupid instead of flying the aircraft?

As another saying goes:

“The lord may be my shepard, but I don’t want him to be my pilot!”

Personally I’d rather go with a pilot that I thought was good over one who was just “god-fearing”. In fact comment’s like yours will lead people like me to completely disassociate from anything Christan, and cause others to do so as well. When people can so easily read and see the intolerance and hatred in your post they will see Christianity for what it truly is. Of course you don’t really care, all you care about is your own selfish self, and damn all others. How very Christan of you.

I will pray your salvation and the health of yourself and your family.

I wish you a Happy, prosperous and blessed New Year and the same for any other reader of this post.

Now run along…isn’t Sunday the day of rest?

Thanks again for stopping by. The google juice provided by entertaining comments like yours is sure appreciated.
