No, I think he is the crazy one…
I honestly have no idea what to make of this story.
The pilot came on to greet everyone and give his comments for the morning, and he said he’d recently been on a mission trip, and he’d like all the Christians to please raise their hands,” said passenger Jen Dorsey.
He said, ‘If you are a Christian, raise your hand.’ He said, ‘If you are not, you’re crazy,’” said Austin.
Not only is that incredibly insulting to the non-Christian passengers on that flight, it seems to have made everyone quite uncomfortable. I probably would have spent the flight pointing out Christian hypocrisy and Biblical mistranslations.
Of course, it’s well known that I’m not much of a fan of Christianity. To quote Dan Barker, “The Christian is a person who cuts you with a knife and then tries to sell you a bandage.”
So, basically, when I hear about stories like this, I chalk them up to bad attempts at evangelism that do more harm than good. And then I chuckle and move on.
