I would've immediately gotten up and said a little something about my Lord and Savior, Lucifer, who was cast down from heaven for the sin of wanting freedom and equality for all living creatures. I'm sure that would have gone off without a hitch, too.

Jesus told them to do this, to go door-to-door, city-to-city preaching and baptizing people. It’s their “great commission” to “make disciples of the nations.” He said we would know his true believers because they will leave their lives behind to go out doing this, and performing miracles like his. He even said it would be unwelcome. Jesus is the reason these people are assholes.

I guess he never read the bible
“Matthew 6:1-34** **ESV /
”Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.”

This isn't for the passengers. This is to generate the negative feedback these preachers take back to their group to prove how hated and victimised they are.

It's not about converting, it's about reinforcing the faith of the already converted.

It’s so ridiculous they made Jesus some super human figure that’s so unattainable. The entire point of Jesus’ teachings in the Bible was that he was a man just like everyone else. We are all sons of god and can do all things Jesus did but even more is what he directly said.
Christians turned Jesus into an idol. They created a man made god. They lost the entire purpose of the true teachings of Christ and they are mentally fucking ill. That’s my ramble for the day.

What would the reaction be if a Muslim started doing that on the flight?
I hope he realizes that, because he’s a Christian in the USA, he has the privilege of doing something like this, while followers of another religion may not.
Not offended by proselytizing. I realize it’s something some believers feel they are called to do. I’m sure there’s good intent, which I keep in mind before I judge, but isn’t it a bit predicated on “your beliefs are wrong, and mine are right”? Curious how he would feel being proselytized to by another religion in this way. Would love to have a discussion with this dude about that.

Some airlines in Islamic countries will say a prayer in Arabic before the flight. Someone on one of the Christian subreddit said he would be afraid to fly on those airlines ..but supports these folks forcefully preaching to an audience that can't go anywhere.
That said, never had an issue on a flight in the US and only fly a handful of times a year. If I had this happened I would praising God for noise cancelling headphones. Now if the plane experienced some turbulence that makes a airplane preacher fall, I might be a believer because my prayers and many others on that flight would have been answered.
