    These types of Christians always immediately jump into some persecution complex once they get some push back. Like it’s a sign of the end timds. Real cult behaviour

      They don’t care. They want to look good to their ingroup. It’s very performative.

      Beyond the obvious bad faith (ironically), her sense of entitlement is really incredible. An all-American sense of entitlement.

    It wasn’t the message that made people uncomfortable, it was the delusional self-righteous weirdo, who wasn’t going to shut up for the next few hours, preaching at people stuck in a tin can with her. A psycho like her, who thinks death is her big beginning, is capable of anything.

      Idk, preaching that you’re going to hell if you don’t accept Jesus isn’t particularly nice to hear

      All true, but the message itself is also quite uncomfortable, really, I don’t need to hear that in an airplane or on the street, for that matter.

    She seems to enjoy this, but the fix is very simple: lifetime ban from that particular airline. How many airlines can she continue to fly, then?

      I think the fix is easier: test her faith. Toss her out at altitude. Prayer works, right?

    She knows what she’s doing. This is the desired outcome. It’s not about preaching the gospel. It’s about supporting the narrative that Christians are persecuted, even if you have to deliberately generate the appearance of persecution through ridiculous behavior.

      The basic door to door proselyting strategy (which has a 0% success rate) to make sure they don’t leave the cult, then…

        In my wayward youth I was heavily into church and went to a conference where you went to classes about evangelising and apologetics (arguing your beliefs) and then approaching people out in public to talk about Jesus. The success rate is low but it’s not zero.

        Some of my strongest convictions against Christianity come from learning they told flat out lies in the apologetics classes and used lots of logical fallicies.

        Yes. It reinforces the idea that the world is corrupt, fallen, that it won’t accept them. That only the cult will accept them. It reinforces the separation of cult and world, and makes cult the only attainable form of community.

        Community is the cult’s greatest weapon. Gangs, religions, the manosphere, neo-Nazi… so many groups work by finding the isolated and disempowered, offering them a community that will adopt them (conditionally). Isolated people swallow the conditions readily in order to have a community, even an unhealthy one. Humans are social creatures.

        Getting your members to do behaviours you know will see them rejected (like door-knocking) reinforces the indoctrination that only your cult can offer community. Even if they have doubts or discomfort, they won’t leave.

    You want to know why people feel unsafe with a religious zealot on board an airplane? It’s because in 2001 religious zealots hijacked three planes and murdered thousands of people and terrorize the entire nation.

    Fuck religion

      People don’t call them Y’all qaeda for nothing. US Christians want what the theocratic system of Islam promises.

        It’s no wonder, with that kind of intense training and discipling, that those young people are ready to kill themselves for the cause of Islam. I wanna see young people who are as committed to the cause of Jesus Christ as the young people are to the cause of Islam. I wanna see them as radically laying down their lives for the Gospel as they are over in Pakistan and Israel and Palestine and all those different places, you know, because we have… excuse me, but we have the truth!
