Fuck that. I'd be the first one to shout "SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!" if someone started preaching on my flight. Stupid arrogant motherfuckers think they can do whatever they want.

Proselytize Religion
From Reddit
As a community with an interest in providing the best resources to its members, the following wiki links are provided as historical reference until we can establish our own.
"Having a religion is much like having a penis. It's all well and good to have one, and one can even be proud of it. However, when you whip it out in public and bandy it about to my face, we will have problems."
- Dame Maggie Smith
Off topic but I love how Dame hasn't been watered down like Sir. Cuz like lots of people who aren't knighted get called Sir.
seen the fuckin crazies do this on busses and trains too. it's annoying as fuck
Another normal day in the Federal Republic of Dumbfuckistan...
sky martial could chain her in the bathroom. out of an abundance of caution
Sky Daddy, I'm up here so close to you! Can you hear me? SSKKKYY DDAADDDY?!
I can’t see someone trying this on a plane full of Aussies and not catching hands.
We all know which country all these weirdos are from.
Well, a polite bunch of Aussies might shout phrases such as "shut up and sit down, ya dumb cunt" at the very least.
There’s unfortunately very little airline staff can do to stop this.
Bullshit. The flight attendants and especially captains’ word is law on a plane. They say stop and they don’t they can and should absolutely charge them with disobeying the instructions of airline staff (something we see all the time) and blacklist them.
I can guarantee that will happen more quickly if they are quoting from a different holy text (for American flights).

And then they have their lives ruined by Fox News 24/7 coverage.
This is a big ol set up.
I think the reverse can be true if footage is filmed by other onlookers which then is uploaded to social media for influencers to break down what happened.
The dude in a Target making a scene about the Satanic pride wear (the artist drew some devils in unrelated work) was pretty much a flop.
Maybe, but right wing outrage is an impossible and stupid force.
Matthew 6:1 - do not practice righteousness just to be seen by people.
Matthew 6:5 - prayer is not meant to become a performance for attention.
Is Matthew relevant for the average American Christian Conservative? As far as I can remember, he's the main one of the four Evangelists who highlights themes of compassion, care of the neighbour and sheltering of the stranger.
Jesus 6:9 - Shut up, shut up, for the love of me just shut the hell up!
Imagine if Islam preachers (or whatever is the equivalent role) were doing that.
Imagine if satanists did this.
As long as there's orgies.
I would be stoked if a Satanist¹ rose up to counter an evangelist like this and was prepared to do so.
¹ Is satanist proper? I know there are different kinds of satanists, from TST folk to LaVeyan Satanists and unlike Christians, have very little to do with each other.
I think they're called imams.
I'm not certain that imams also have the role of "spreading" the religion like that.
Think of it as two roles:
- Recruiter / spreader;
- Leader / (re)enforcer;
I would sing baby shark loudly. I shut up when they shut up. And I can belt.
being that i am held captive in the tube, can i consider this a form of assault?
Everyone memorize these words "flight attendant, would you please shut this religious zealot up or I'm going to change my phone's wifi to bomb"
I appreciate the attempt at the joke.
right, joke. the polite version is "right now these fucks are my problem but in fifteen seconds if they ain't shut up they are going to be everyone's, including yours and the pilot's. you want to fix this for me?"
i have performed in airplanes stuck on tarmacs. i got everyone's permission and I explicitly asked "if you say no, we're not doing it. no worries. it's a small airplane" to everyone. individually. on the plane these preachers, they can get off if they want to christian all over everyone.
I'm down for your brand of crazy.
This is already insufferable on mass transit when people do this shit but at least that’s a short ride most of the time.
It’s a real sign of how poor your message is when you have to trap people to get them to listen to it.
Think I'd get out and walk the rest of the way.
