i am afraid of flying...i'll admit it's not my favorite thing to do...

...but i DRINK...a.lot. on flights, because it's the ONLY thing that calms my nerves 30,000 feet up in the air!!!

my strategy is that if I'm drunk, I won't be panicked or afraid if the plane would suddenly start dropping out of the sky...

...while the rest of the passengers would be screaming and crying and praying all the way down, i would probably be waving my hands in the air going 'WHEEEEEEEEEE!" all the way down until impact! I would think it was one wild ride...

...this is my strategy....[/quote]

I'm underage :unsure:

Well, if you become Catholic, you can always console yourself with the fact that you're not being fed to a lion, or being flayed alive like St. Bartholomew. So, again, the answer to your problem is to become Catholic.

[quote name='Era Might' post='1781125' date='Feb 15 2009, 01:36 AM']I think the question to ask yourself is whether your fear is really fear of flying, or fear of death. I suppose some people just have a fear of heights. But I think most people who are afraid of flying are afraid of crashing, which implies that they are afraid to die. For a Catholic, there is no reason to fear death. So, I suggest you become Catholic, and then your fears of flying can be overcome. :saint:[/quote]

brilliant.

I did do that before, only a St. Gemma decade.

back in the day :detective:[/quote]

Why get rid of something that works? Do it again. ;)
