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.
I would so loudly be telling them to shut the fuck up.
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"
I say lean into it. Praise Jesus so loudly and obnoxiously that the preacher themselves asks you to tone it down a notch.
I would sing baby shark loudly. I shut up when they shut up. And I can belt.
Incredible solution. I would be singing with you. Bet we wouldn't make it past mommy shark.
Imagine if Islam preachers (or whatever is the equivalent role) were doing that.
I think they're called imams.
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.
Would be sick with a little fog machine. Line your robe with red LED strips. Etc.
Tbf Islam has its share of bigots like this, but it's still fun to imagine how the Christian ones would react.
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
being that i am held captive in the tube, can i consider this a form of assault?
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.
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 can guarantee that will happen more quickly if they are quoting from a different holy text (for American flights).

I dunno, dropping a quick 400 feet without warning might get them to shut up.
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.
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!
Straight up tell that crazy to shut the fuck up.

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.
what the fuck. this is common?
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.
Would be a shame, if someone accidentally flipped the stepladder.
Thank you for sharing this Andy!
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
goddamn religion dinosaurs. If there is a God, he gave you BRAINS to not hang in 2000 year old crapp without thinking. You're insulting him.
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.
Just start yelling Allahu Akba! Over and over.
Well, only if you are ok with also getting thrown off the plane.
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.
