No more prayers on Alaska Airlines

From here:

Alaska Airlines is ending a decades-long tradition of handing out prayer cards with their in-flight meals because an increasing number of passengers were offended by them.

Offended because the inflight meals were so bad that one had to pray in order to digest them? Offended by the implication that the aeroplane needed prayer in order to land safely?

Of course not: offended because the cards contained a Christian message, Christianity makes some exclusive claims on truth and, today, there is nothing quite so offensive as announcing that everyone can’t be right.
