Let's see now...... what do we really know about his character as regards possible aeronautical interests?

1. Not averse to personal injury.

2. Definite risk-taker.

3. Anti-authoritarian tendencies.

4. Confident of ascending to heaven.

5. Non-polluting.

6. Irritating to Pilates (sic)

I'm thinking......... PARAGLIDER.

Let's face it, rather than walking-on-water, a self-levitating Messiah would have beaten Buddha and Mohammed into obscurity centuries ago.

Jesus would fly a carpet.



The Americans couldn't shoot him down because the carpet would be Allied.

The sign outside the church says "Jesus Saves !" , so I am guessing the answer is First Class !

I can report that in some twelve years of boating round the sky on a glorified tent, I have never seen the feller. Called out for him a few times mind.:eek:

Yes but there aren't many mythical creatures or witches that can bring themselves back to life after death!

Jesus has already flown - it's called the Transfiguration - maybe something akin to the transporter in Star Trek!

Jesus would have flown a Gulfstream 550, and you're all going straight to hell if'n you says any different! (Don't believe me? just listen to a few hours of Baptist Preaching on the US airwaves next time you're around Savannah...)

FlyMD, why the cheap shot? One could say just listen for the calls to prayers drowning out everything out your way, but one won't.

Or at least JC listened to the cries of mercy from the suffering of Jews unlike your bunch some decades ago, but again, I don't want to enter such a match with you.

Unquote

Calls to prayer? In Switzerland? We allow Minarets, but certainly not the Muezzins over the loudspeakers... Why, how could we hear the cowbells over that racket?!

Some quick research of the number of Jewish refugees finding sanctuary in Switzerland during WWII despite enormous pressures from the 3rd Reich could have saved you from making, again, a monumental fool out of yourself.. But then, you don't seem to mind so much.

Letting 'em just make a deposit at the bank doesn't count.

And your point about radio ministers isn't indicative of America but you still felt you should make the attempt.

Not really. By the way, the 'quote' function isn't that difficult. Why even I could figure it out...............

But, I notice you didn't answer my question. Why the cheap shot?

cheap shot at whom or what, Bricky baby?

I poke a bit of fun at Baptist ministers, and immediately you feel attacked as an American.Nonsense, but soooo typical of you! And BTW, I operate Gulfstreams, a great American product.

Let this thread resume topic, I'll be glad to take cheap shots at you in some other thread already gone to shreds...

I think it's absolutely disgusting that you are all taking the Son of God's name in vain and talking about Him in such a frivolous manner!!

I bet you all belong to one of these religions that would take great umbrage if I mentioned the name of your religion's titular head in such a crassly offensive manner.

I think the moderators should close this thread with immediate effect and post a public apology for allowing it to stay visible for so long.

Would have to be a Saturn 5 for a rapid and dramatic ascension into heaven.

I'm told Mohammed was a pilot also with a type rating for flying horses.

It's a Biblical fact that when Moses needed to get his people across, the solution was to part the waters...

So the real question should be, where does Jesus need to get to? Flying, or the choice of aircraft would be just one of many possible solutions.

If he had to simply get across the Channel say, I reckon He would prefer to simply part the waters, a tried and tested method. Especially in view of his penchant for walking, riding donkeys and mingling. From Paris to London, the Eurostar would be quicker.

For longer distances, say trans-Atlantic, I seriously believe that He would consider flying though. No need to part the oceans and the risks of causing massive climatic upheaval in Western Europe from disruption to the Gulf Stream (though He might have to use the old Jedi mind-trick to get past airport security unless he has a shave and changes into western-style clothing...).

So I reckon He'd insist on a BAC-111 (Trident) and a rear-facing seat!

Nah, he'd get to bypass.

Well, aren't you one of the ones who always claims an undue influence by the Jewish lobby?

Combine them with the far-right religious and he's bound to get star treatment.

After all, his advance man, Benedict the umpteenth just did the dry run here.........
