Are you guys really going to have this discussion as a round about response to the bombing? Really?
I bet people of all religions and non religions were coming to the aid of each other about this time yesterday.
It seems to me that peoples response to the bombing might be a better reason to not have the discussion you guys are starting. I heard there was a lot of volunteers doing all types of extraordinary things in Boston. They probably aren't asking the people they are helping what their religious beliefs are.
Whoever did this is responsible for it as an individual. Not his religion, or lack of religion.
We are all in the same boat. Whether you believe or don't believe.

NewKnow, I'm not responding to the tragic Boston bombings at all. I was responding to the virtues of atheism and the moral decadence of Christianity, which I obviously disagree with. No more posts by me regarding this subject. /rant.

PB days are more valuable than a vacation day, so keep that in mind. With a 1 day trip for a lineholder being worth a min of 5:15, it's probably better to use them that way, than take it as vacation @ 3:15/day.
Also, in the past I've used them to break up RSV stretches. The best way is to place a PB day (if coverage allows) on day 3 of 5. Then you have 2 on, 1 off, 2 on. Your chances of flying (or getting SC) in the 1 & 2 day group are lower than the 3, 4, 5 groups - so if you do it right you can get a "week off" (with a little seniority & help from whiteslipping REG pilots) for 1 PB day. Have fun!

I personally could careless what their reasoning or rationale is.
No reason to discuss, debate, or, most importantly, echo it.

OK, boys and girls... enough of th religious discussion. Weve made the rounds of blame and, as it turns out, everyone has skeletons in their closet regardless of your religion or lack thereof.
Any further postings of the sort will be deleted. Let's respect and pray for (or think about) the families of those involved and honor those who bravely dove in to help.
