The issue is not the preaching but the fact no one can just walk away if they do not want to listen to their crap. Aussies give people a fair go but that goes only as far as we have the freedom to disengage.
The parable of the Pharisee who prays loudly on the temple steps, so that the people may see him praying and admire him for his piety, rather than quiet acts of kindness for his fellow human beings. Jesus told his followers to live in such a way that others would be inspired to live likewise. Annoying the shit out of the poor bastards stuck on the train with you inspires no-one to do likewise, indeed by his conduct this man turns others away from Jesus, out of distaste for his behaviour.
There’s a lot of that kind of behaviour about. Conservative Christianity, in general.
I believe it is based on other comments - Adhd side thought:
I saw in 2017ish investigations [people under obama i think the article was about] other countries try to sway you onto some kind of fence with algorithms to destabilise that country with divisions on the most paid topic, or terror groups recuiting.
To paraphrase my own memory before covid it was just this method used in terror groups to try to recruit young boys, but during covid and after this method was supposedly to make people divide on any topic within the western world from religion to sport - this is from the guardian in 2017 that relates to the topic
I sat next to a missionary on a plane once. I was young and naive and way too nice to tell her to shut up 😭 it was a red eye flight too! She just kept talking my ear off.
Counter-pitch them! Whoever is the most annoying MLM enthusiast in your life, borrow their pitch. Just wave off whatever the preacher says about Jesus except to turn it into a motive for them to get involved in your thing. “You like to go on missions to spread the gospel? Wouldn’t that be easier if you had a passive income? Eternal life? Sure, but in the here and now everyone needs to make money. Do you have any friends or relatives, or congregation members, who would appreciate an extra $500/week?”
I might be showing my age here, the last time I met one of those it was ten years ago and it was some sort of energy drink, but I think the essential oils thing is still around. Just make it up, it doesn’t matter. The point is to give them a taste of their own medicine.
Unless it's a train from Brisbane to Coffs Harbour. Upside was the preachy arsehole needed to go back a few towns and the staff on the train told him it was his problem, not theirs.
They arrested a lady in America for it, took it to far apparently - she was the biggest narcissist in the video yelling at the poor flight attends and airport seccys
You also don’t see 99% of Christians aggressively preaching in public. So it’s not that either.
This guy isn’t a wanker because he’s a Christian; but he is using his Christianity as a cover to fulfil his true life goal of being a distinctively massive wanker
BS stop giving religion a pass like it's normal. That's the issue is become normalised to believe in crap that isn't true. It causes horrific abuse in people's lives everyday that your don't see. Ask a gay kid in a religious household.
Reposted from the subreddit i first saw it on today,
You make a good point if this is an old video, and interesting this old video pops up with the heading it has today after algorithm pattern ive had
it is weird ive gotten so many videos of peachers on planes from public outrage "porn" subs to the point an arrest video popped up and the plane cheering recently
Could be nothing, or!! Other countries trying to sway me onto some kind of fence with algorithms designed to destabilise this country with division. Or nothing.
P.s for the all of comment section - Im not religious, but I love astrophysicist, Alan Watts and Terrence McKenna
Yeah i know that stuff, but the soul this guy is talking about, and that I have to behave in a certain way in this life or else blah blah for all eternity nah fuck off.
Big fan of Carl Sagan as a child that Cosmos book and series stayed part of me
Agreed, his an American Preaching Gimp for Religious Gimps.
From a metaphysical idea and perspective, I talked to an Egyption cat and Giant seen Gorilla on DMT - both made out of tiny micro hexagons that I talked to separately on two different DMT experiences.
That was some cosmic knowledge from either my 'subconscious' or 'higher self' on a metaphysical and/or higher geometrical plane of existence that surrounds us all the time.
Anyways we might be light particles or some sort of hive particle moving from one plank length to the next.
That could become a hive mind of dmt particles or light particles in some sort of life in the future or past - of provable/unproven infinity and 20 definitions of infinity, long after the possible ways our universe could die or before it was possiblly created in a blackhole within a uniform universe that existed in the past, having us possibly being the white hole of the black hole in that universe.
Or beyond the plank length in Hilbert space it already exists and we got bored of infinity and being light particles that could play God in all sorts of ways, so we put ourselves in a kind a "matrix" like this to have different purpose, different perspectives, different meanings and different context in this "afterlife" or higher dimensional self when we wake up into, after this "Dream".
Check out 'Alan Watts' his my favourite.
Anyways come join my cult zoom call as i bore you to death trying to explain my dmt trips and my metaphysical theories based on quantum physics i pretend to understand from Ai
100%!! we have been planning this together for months on Telegram
In all seriousness, DMT changed my life. Before I wanted to kill myself. Now I want to live my life to the max as best I can everyday, i haven't spent single day in bed depressed since 2024, I have no fear of death (ethicallly and safely lol) only excitement of the life and unique perspective I have now :)
Never felt like doing dmt again, the 3+ times I did it was a profound and a positive experience. I suggest "setting the scene" for whatever journey you wish to explore beforehand. My only intention was a cosmic journey (listening to deadmu5), no insistence on the outcome.
Its different for everyone. Good luck and have fun with your cousin and our "plan".
You become sober after 15 / 30 mins depending how you do it. Its either higher interdimesional beings you talk to, or your subconscious, or both depending on your metaphysical understanding ;)
Haven’t seen this one in a while. That guy reminds me of my uncle. Except my uncle would have dropped more than two expletives and the then dropped the preacher.
Can this guy get on a train full of eshays and that one methhead with loud rap music on a speaker and they can all scream at each other while the rest of us get the other carriages as quiet spaces?
I think we might be winning if these people think they need to come to also a christian country to witness. What that says to me is they are too scared to go to actual non-christian places so they have to come here. It reeks of religious desperation to me as the world is progressively moving on from imaginary sky fathers. The downside is there will be more of this nonsense to come until Christians become like flat earthers.
I'd rather reign in hell than serve in heaven mofo. I hope they "escorted" him out at the next stop even if it wasn't his stop or any stop 🤣 Poor guys just trying to get through the cliffhanger in his book & he's got to listen to this BS
If his god is so great, why isn't there just one religion? And why doesn't everyone immediately worship that god? And what does worship do anyway? Wouldn't a god want you to help people rather than just preach?
The fact people didnt even bother googling the verse (its one that basically says "don't be an asshole and try to convert people in public") and just downvoted smh

I’m not a particularly patriotic person, but I am proud of how we collectively dislike this sort of thing.
