      The next time someone tries to tell me about Jesus, I want to introduce them to the oldest, living religion in the world. Have you tried seeking Shiva or Lord Krishna? They were around way before your made up blonde Jesus.

    My husband has to go on a business trip next week and I’m really worried he’ll get himself arrested confronting people like this. I’m a “just wasn’t raised with religion” person but he’s one of those atheists that has beef with Christianity because of how he was raised. It’s personal. I don’t think he could sit through this without absolutely losing his shit. In a just world, these people would be the ones getting arrested.

    There was a guy like that sitting on a bus I was on a couple of days ago. I asked him if he wanted the guitar wrapped around his neck or broken on his head. He got off at the next stop.

    I don’t put up with much.

    Seriously. What the fuck is this trend? And why doesn’t the airline staff or other passengers do anything?

    If they did this on a Ryanair flight from England to anywhere, he would be eating the guitar analy. No way this would be allowed on European or Asian airlines.

      Well,

      First, Ryanair wouldn’t have allowed the guitar as a free carry-on and would have asked a 100€ surcharge

      Second, the staff would have interrupted this mess because they need to upsell the lottery tickets

      Seriously. What the fuck is this trend?

      Probably just something trending on social media. Influencers no longer decide what to do themselves but are controlled by algorithms no one really understands. One week it’s pranking your dog, next week it’s christian songs in an airplane.

      And why doesn’t the airline staff or other passengers do anything?

      Staff is not being paid enough to fight 15 people at once. Other passengers don’t want to be charged with assault.

      Yes because half the time on Ryanair flights you are subjected to their own advertising. What fucking perfumes they carry, their shitty lottery thing, their sandwiches blah blah. Honesty all this shit should be illegal. It’s like unskippable ads while I’m trying to listen to my music. The comms should be only about plane safety and flight information.

      It’s the new going door to door or bothering people in the street. The idea is for the Christians to be told to fuck off, and then they go back to their church crying how mean people were when they tried to spread their good news, and the congregation can have a bonding moment about how mean the world outside of their church is.

    They do this to a captive audience because if people had the choice, they wouldn’t willingly suffer this inanity. It’s rapist mentality and abhorrent behavior.

    And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

      Shit like this makes me feel little bits of the truth came through the Bible. Missed by the men who’d use it for their own gain.

      If there was a higher being a “God,” I doubt they would be as cruel and barbaric as the books say. Why bother being that way? Maybe at one time, it wanted to be closer to us, but realized it wasn’t good for us. Now we’ve got folks thinking they feel it, but “it” is probably long gone. Either exploring the universe and everything between or dead.

        Could be, it’s fundamentally unknowable. I see it like being super into WH40K lore. There’s so much to learn, so many opinions and sometimes it’s fun to think about but it’s a hobby best kept to yourself or those who are interested in discussing it. It’s not a thing to share by singing and praising the god emperor of mankind to a captive audience trapped in a metal tube with you.

    May they receive the lord’s own unexpected rough air straight into the fucking ceiling and back down onto the corner of one of the metal service carts.
