In all fairness the verse doesn't mean "______" It's talking about _______.

And this is why Christianity has like 47,000 different sects and counting.

But no I'm sure random Christian Lemmy user #16 is the person with the perfect understanding of his holy book.

God botherers are the worst humans.

It's really not that complex. Probably one of the simplest verses to understand. And I'm not a Christian.

That whole thing is an addon created but the mortals who wanted to be seen in their fancy robes and such.

Doesn't this apply to all of Christianity? Religion was made to control people and that's easier to do in person.

Read "evangelist" as "disruptive passenger". This is "spiritual warfare" about as much as black trash bags are racism.

I was trying to be kind. But while religion itself spawned from people attempting to cope with the inability to control the things (like nature) that could determine if they lived or died, at some point it converted over to a way to control the populace.

I think you misunderstood that post. They were using a phrase from the bible which highlights the hypocrisy of the talibangelist and how they selectively choose which bible verses to believe in.

It’s not.

The commandment about taking Yhwh’s name in vain is about taking oaths you know you’ll break. It was common back then to use the name of some deity or your ancestors who would - in theory- punish you for breaking that oath.

Really, the only thing we still do this for is swearing in- like for an oath of office or for giving testimony in court (the whole “put your hand on the bible” thing. This is invoking god as an enforcer of oaths and god ain’t interested in that.)

And let this behavior be normalized?

Naw- demand they get made to shut up or removed. You don’t need to be the one to take the hit for their behavior.

Only if they make it entertaining.

If the plane is mid flight and someone becomes belligerent or aggressive, they typically restrain them with duct tape to the seat- if they don’t have handcuffs, shackled and such available. (Shackles keep them in the seat.)

Yeah but it’s Matt. 5:10 that they’re all about, “Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

Except they’re not actually persecuted, they’re in a Christian-majority country ruled by an overtly Christian government, so they have to manufacture their own persecution in order to trick God into letting them into heaven.

Funny how only after theres negative press they start to do something about it.

because they totally care about the passengers, and its totally not about wanting to be associated with the negative press coverage.

If this had ben a Muslim standing up and preaching loudly on an airplane the MAGAts on the flight would have lost their minds.

I want to masturbate to her, like most Christian women.

You both have a good point.

kicked off a San Diego-bound jet before it even took off

just like the street corner preachers, very obnoxius, they yell about peoples "Faith and sin" but never see them actually helping people.

mostly the manosphere that people like roegan, kirk and peterson helped.

Fox would air this non-stop as a 'terrorist" pushing thier religion on people. since they are usually a attractive white woman.

Yeah and I listed another verse that everyone seems to love to ignore

Said every Christian about every bit of theology ever

Thank God.

Er... Wait

Why the bags gotta be black, man?

;-}

God forgot the admin password that's why he hasn't been around for a while.

I think they have their own version of the book annotated by one of the more irritating televangelists.

I was on the plane flying from Atlanta to somewhere in Nevada, why did I need to be instructed on the correct use of the life vest? How off course are we going to get that I would need a life vest in an emergency situation.

"Today we'll be flying from Atlanta to Nevada, with a stopover in the Amazon river to look at crocodiles"

Good, now do the same to people who use speakerphone on transit

Except that Hawaiian air has gone kinda downhill since the Alaska takeover, in routes, quality, and corporate culture

Even a broken clock is right twice a day
