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.

    And then they have their lives ruined by Fox News 24/7 coverage.

    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.

    Imagine if Islam preachers (or whatever is the equivalent role) were doing that.

    Imagine if satanists did this.

    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.

    Think I'd get out and walk the rest of the way.

    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.

    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.

    "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."

    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.

    From the cabin it looks like that might be a 737 MAX 8, in which case you’re gonna need those prayers.

    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.

    Seems like a good excuse for some repetitive "hail Satan"s. And then be surprised that you can see the demon inside her. Act like it's the worst demon you've ever seen.

    I'd say beat them senseless but they clearly have no sense to beat.

    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.

    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"

    Throw them out of the plane at 30k ft and see if God wants them to survive.
