I'm all for people doing this; it certainly beats the pants off Christian mega-pastor-preacher-speakers who have their own private jets and so many speaking engagements that the only time they would ever have to personally engage with those who don't profess to know Christ (how I loathe the term 'non-Christian') in anything resembling a meaningful way, would be on a plane. But they can't. Because they went and bought their own plane so they wouldn't have to. Oh the irony. And yes, I realize that is a very long sentence.
