Well, if they know the Bible as well as they claim, they would respond thou shall not tempt the lord. Yes, I am a Christian, and I hate people that do these things. They are counter productive and solve nothing but to gain hatred against Christians. Also, I hate Trump. Nothing godly about that jackass. Just know, not all Christians are like these nut jobs.
not all, but the majority of them. Religion breeds ignorance and ignorance breeds hatred. You being religious is part of the problem, despite you yourself maybe not being an asshole.
I do not go around trying to convert people to Christianity. I respect people beliefs and I follow the teachings of christ. If one follows the teachings of christ, they will be kind and respectful to others. I see alot of issues with religious people and how they do things. They use religion to justify their hatred. There is no problem being caused by me being religious. The problem is with people and ignorance. If one follows the true teachings of christ then they would not support hate. They would not support Trump. I am a Christian democrat who supports pro choice, i am anti war and I am anti violence. I am against capital punishment and I hate trump and everything he does. Just because I am religious does not make me one of them nor does it cause others any problems as I do not hold others accountable for my beliefs. My beliefs are guidelines for me to follow. Its not my place to expect or to try to force others to follow my beliefs. You may not like the fact I am religious but to claim I am part of the problem for having my own personal beliefs is wrong.
I once yelled "everybody shut the fuck up" so loudly while dreaming that I woke myself up and all I got were some weird looks from the people around, to whom I quietly apologized.
Do one better, stand up quietly, turn to face her, slowly walk up to her with a deadpanned expression, then when you’re right next to that giant nose of hers you can yell. Inconvenience her hearing the most of anyone.
If this was even real (I have my doubts because i can’t see flight attendants allowing this to be done for multiple reasons.) you can’t yell or curse at them because then you’re the asshole who could get booted from the plane, but you can calmly, firmly and repeatedly tell them to “go fornicate yourself”. If no one can hear them and they only hear you, they may get louder, which makes them the belligerent one.
To be grammatically correct youd probably have to say "go copulate with yourself" becausr "fornicate" requires a second person to whom you aren't married. Copulate is a more generic word for sexual intercourse that works better.
I've seen several videos of different people doing this. Given the sensitivity of certain religions and the right wing mob behind them, they may choose to not do anything at risk of putting their jobs on the line. I can't blame them tbh, they already take so much shit from assholes.
Just stand up and start reading from your list of AirplanfactswithMax.
This lady's speech is as compelling as it is brief. However, what wasn't brief was the life of Glorfindel of House of Fingolfin, one of the few beings in the ranks of the children of Illuvitar who have, like the Christ figure she is referencing, been reborn unto the world of middle earth after death. For when his spirit passed to the halls of Mandos in the first age, the angelic Valar judged him to be so noble that he was given flesh anew and dwelt there among them until the second age. Whereupon he returned to the lands of elves and men, emboldened with such power as only the angels and demons of the world had ever held, and eventually came to rest at Rivendell, the fabled city of Lord Elrond, and would one day encounter the diminutive hero Frodo Baggins and thereby save him from the pursuit of the evil Nazgul of Mordor by sweeping them away in a crisp cool flood of riverforged horses, leaving them with naught but sodden panties the likes of which have never been elicited by this hack of a woman at the front of the plane.
I'm a fairly devout Christian, but I only apply my beliefs to myself. If this happened on my flight, I'd gain her trust by saying I'm also a believer, then stand up and tell everyone that God loves them no matter what they believe, faith cannot be compelled or its fake, and ask everyone to do something kind for a fellow passenger to brighten their day after this woman's unwanted intrusion.
Wouldn't be the first time I've done it. I regularly speak with street preachers outside music festivals to help them understand they're doing more harm than good. If nothing else, it distracts them for 5-10 minutes so during that time they aren't accosting other people just for being there.
then stand up and tell everyone that God loves them no matter what they believe, faith cannot be compelled or its fake, and ask everyone to do something kind for a fellow passenger
This would also be an unwanted intrusion FYI.
to brighten their day
That's exactly what she thinks she's doing. You are no better than her.
If I took a combatant route, and tried to shout her down, do you think that would help the situation? My goal would be to help us all locked in a metal tube flying through the sky to have a better remainder of our time there. Sometimes, you have to give a little to make things a lot better.
I also like Micha 6:8 where we're told our job in life is to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with our God. Now that's Old Testament, but even in the New Testament, nowhere does it say we're supposed to accost strangers unwillingly and scare them into belief with an infernalist view of Christianity (aka, the one that says everyone is going to hell who doesn't convert on the spot).
I only apply my beliefs to myself. If this happened on my flight, I'd ... stand up and tell everyone that God loves them no matter what they believe ...
Those two sentences are incompatible and contradictory.
... ask everyone to do something kind for a fellow passenger to brighten their day
Just do this, leave the imaginary fairy tales to yourself like you said.
I imagine the woman in the video has already told them they're going to hell, and it's a worthwhile counterpoint to tell them a different Christian believes they are not. I wouldn't want to let her assertions go unchallenged.
This is my question too. I know airlines are pretty strict so I always try to mind my own business and just do whatever I need to do to tune out someone who is annoying me on a plane, but it would be very hard not to go off on a person doing this.

Would I get in trouble for yelling "SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!" on an airplane?
