No, it's not Al-Qaeda who's

No, it's not Al-Qaeda who's going to scare you into converting. (At
least not yet)
It's the Pentecostals.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Two preachers grounded a flight
leaving Buffalo, New York, after they frightened passengers by
declaring the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks were a good reason to pray,
officials said on Thursday. One preacher told fellow passengers as the
Continental Airlines plane taxied down the runway, "Your last breath on
earth is the first one in heaven as long as you are born again and have
Jesus in your heart," according to FBI (news - web sites) spokesman
Paul Moskal. Passengers on the Wednesday flight to Newark, New Jersey
told a flight attendant, who alerted the plane's captain, officials
said. The captain turned the plane around. "They were sincere in their
beliefs and were not malicious," Moskal said by telephone from Buffalo.
"In the context of 9/11 it may not have been the best way to promote
their religion."


Gives new meaning to the phrase, "repent now or suffer the fires of damnation," doesn't it?
