seen the fuckin crazies do this on busses and trains too. it’s annoying as fuck
Think I’d get out and walk the rest of the way.
If I recall correctly, this guy was about to be deported and was desperately trying to get kicked off the deportation flight by being outrageously racist.
Unfortunately, he didn’t get kicked off, he got arrested and deported, and went down in history for being outrageously racist.
I’d say beat them senseless but they clearly have no sense to beat.
This is going to sound “I’m very bad ass,” but it’s usually an easy thing to shut down, I’ve done it before (not at an airplane, but a bunch of people surrounding me and yelling at me). The dumb ones go silent and the smart one’s eyes go dark. I bet anyone here could shut that down in about 20 seconds by not debating, but mentioning the core of the old testament.
Could you quote or at least paraphrase the old testament that shuts them down, for those of us who have not read the bible?
You haven’t reached the right power level, gotta give them $9,000 to take the three required courses
So, are you Christian or nah?
You don’t have to know, just take a step back and look! Its pretty obvious
So yes, lmao. I’ll give you a huge hint, Egyptian major dieties are very, very similar to Jewish gods from the old testament.
Yeah, I kinda figured the intentionally mysterious and vague answer was a cover for your own lack of ability.
You don’t have to know the bible, just take a step back and look at it. Look at the time period and what was important to them. Look at what the Catholic church tried/tries to suppress (except for what started in the last couple of hundred years). If you have an interest in Egypt at all, that might be a more fun way for you to find it. Part of this is for the christians to try and shut my argument down, they have to figure this out. The people upvoting me know.
Edit: Also, the people downvoting me know too, ha ha.
Edit 2: This is a really good start https://sh.itjust.works/post/64186397/26616537
Oh, I see, you’re just full of shit from the beginning. I see you around and I really need to block or at least tag you before I accidentally waste time reading your comments again
I agree that you should block me, lol. Have a great day.
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.
I dunno, dropping a quick 400 feet without warning might get them to shut up.
From the cabin it looks like that might be a 737 MAX 8, in which case you’re gonna need those prayers.
Only weak minded people who believe in imaginary vindictive sky daddies need “prayers”.
What they need is a better education.
Well, two MAX 8’s crashed due to Boeing’s lies, and they had the temerity to continue lying about it afterwards. Then, the fuckin’ door fell off of a MAX 9 because some overworked tech forgot to install the bolts and every downstream quality check also missed it. Despite this, the evidence shows that they’re still about as statistically safe as “safe” air travel gets.
Southwest’s fleet is mostly MAX airframes now, which makes their routes cheaper. If I want to go anywhere and still have money when (or if) I arrive, it basically means I end up on one of these aircraft now and again. So, personally I’m fine with eating an obnoxious prayer from an overzealous Christ-fluencer just in case my next flight happens to coincide with Boeing’s golden-parachuted C-suites once again betting the farm on their latest venture.
I try to temper my Atheism with the knowledge that I’m always about one in-flight emergency away from taking a verbal leap of faith. That, and whatever keeps the cattle docile while stuffed into an aluminum tube at 40,000 feet is good enough for me. :P
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.
They would say they aren’t praying for attention, but proselytizing for more converts.
Whoever scores the most souls wins!
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!
Peter 7.0 - And the Lord sayeth, Nice!
Throw them out of the plane at 30k ft and see if God wants them to survive.
It would be unsettling, I wouldn’t trust them to not be attempting something else.
I’d be telling the flight attendant that they’re clearing suffering from a mental break and preaching before they try to kill people on the plane and themselves, and I feel quite unsafe as a result of a clearly mentally ill person being allowed to carry on so with some crazy pre-hijacking-attempt hype service from their chosen sky person.
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.
what the fuck. this is common?
No, no it is not. And anyone telling you it is either 1) is dramatizing the one or two experiences they have over their life 2) live around a person or specific church who are annoying or 3) just lying to you.
My anecdote is I used to see “street preachers” 2-3 times a year. Never talked to any of them. Now I see maybe one a year. But corona threw off the numbers.
The transit thing? Yeah I’d get a guy on the DC Metro pretty regularly who would sing a song then say a verse on the morning commute. He’d basically do it in each car of the train.
how many people react with rage?
here most people would look at each other with that “ah, a crazy person” look until they reach someone who tells them to shut the fuck up
on a trip in france i witnessed one of these types but the reaction of a local was immediate and almost violent. like a verbal explosion against the crazy preaching hag. it was a thing of beauty
Most people are too tired in the morning to give a shit or have headphones on. It made me angry for sure but you would be exposed to him at most 5-10 min. He wasn’t confrontational so no one reciprocated.
The first time it happened freaked me out a bit though because you don’t know if it’s like a suicide bomber or something.
In America, yes. My truck driver stepfather stopped using his CB because it was incessant preaching or childish fighting 99% of the time. Only turned it on for info on traffic jams he got stuck in, and at customers who used them to tell trucks when they’d been assigned a dock door (back before they finally started calling them instead).
Religion is used to manipulate people and also turn them into sheeple. As America has proven, it’s devastatingly effective.
Even without public transit, it’s still very common here in the states. There’s a handful of street preachers in my city that stand on step ladders at busy intersections with megaphones to preach to people stuck in traffic at rush hour
There’s a guy in my town (in the UK) who sometimes stands outside a supermarket near me with a loudspeaker, preaching his gospels, and honestly, I keep wanting to tell him to fuck off.
Why does he think he has the right to amplify himself, to preach hellfire and brimstone at people who are just trying to go about their days. If he just shouted, then fine, whatever, it’s a free world. But to use amplification is just cunty.
We need to go back to tar-and-feathering people.
Perhaps street lynching isn’t the solution?
Couldn’t agree more. The imposition and force is what really gets me about these guys. I was raised in the burgeoning evangelical.movement, at what was (on paper) a southern baptist church so these douches aren’t saying anything I haven’t heard before, but my former church members at least had the sense to keep it to themselves
do it.
bad behaviour doesn’t stop if nobody takes action against it
Would be a shame, if someone accidentally flipped the stepladder.
I’ve dealt with it
Wait until IOF are on those flights.
I don’t like the idea of people thousands of years after my death pretending to know me. You get an echo at best, an image. Jesus is whatever you want him to be because he’s not here to prove otherwise.
Imagine if Islam preachers (or whatever is the equivalent role) were doing that.
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;
brown man with turban and a book stands up
omg I don’t wanna die!
white man in a suit holding a book stands up
eyeroll
Imagine if satanists did this.
Would be sick with a little fog machine. Line your robe with red LED strips. Etc.
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.
As long as there’s orgies.
I think there is a website from the late 90s for plane orgies.
Tbf Islam has its share of bigots like this, but it’s still fun to imagine how the Christian ones would react.
