I deal with this kind of stuff all the time. I'll take somebody into custody that's acting like a damn fool screaming yelling and disturbing the peace. As soon as somebody that outranks me shows up they are the most rational calm person ever. Then almost every time my supervisor says "well I got to go with what my officer says".

It's a part of the religion itself. Proselytizing to the lowly unsaved.

It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. The bible says that the children of god will be persecuted for their faith because they have been set a part and chosen by god. The persecution, the "spiritual warfare", only reinforces how special they are supposed to be. It only deepens the hold of the religion. It is a cycle that only makes them louder and more obnoxious the more everyone else complains. There is nothing quite like the christian ego.

I’m a follower of Christ and I recognize this form of sharing the gospel as abusive and harmful. If you want to dismantle Christianity, send more people into the world that give others no choice but to hear their interpretation of what is actually a very profound subject and has the potential to create very fruitful discussions. I don’t know what preceded this moment, but if it was her standing up and making a PSA without the consent of the airline or their passengers, it’s straight up abusive.
I love talking about the Bible, but this is not the way to do it.

Now imagine if, say, a Muslim started praying loudly on the plane as it was in flight? Do you think this Christian woman in the video would have been understanding and accepting of that? I think we can all agree that she wouldn't, and most likely a majority of passengers would feel incredibly unsafe.
Now ask how that's any different than some obnoxious Christian proselytizing. It isn't.

Let’s be clear, this is not “sharing” gospel or anything in this situation. Don’t be reductive in order to minimize what she is doing.
She is forcing the Gospel on everyone in that airplane. The passengers do not have a choice after boarding. They are trapped. And as such, that very distinctly goes against the Bible’s teachings.

A few things here. Airplanes aren't a democracy. The pilot is the dictator and the crew are his/her deputies. They don't eff around if people can't be chill while on the ground. Bec in the air having dipshits like this could be deadly for all involved. The pilot has full discretion on who he/she allows on his aircraft. That authority was granted by the government and administered by the FAA. If he/she doesn't follow the rules, the pilot gets in trouble, not the passenger. You can't even make idiodic jokes about bombs being on the plane. You will get arrested and charged and put on no fly list.
Secondly, this woman is a DUMBA#$! She doesn't read the very Bible that she is preaching about!
Romans 13: Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted,

There have always been a few people like this. What you’re seeing now is the opening shots of a religious war these evangelical nuttters are trying to create. They have an entire blueprint for taking over the country and turning it into a Christian theocracy. However they chose the Antichrist as their beloved leader and the takeover hasn’t been going as smoothly as they expected, primarily because the leader they chose is not Christian (still not sure how they missed that) and he’s more interested in enriching himself and renaming things than he is in their agenda. So, seeing their plan go down in flames they are turning to these theatrical public displays in an effort to show themselves as “persecuted”. What they’re hoping is to have another Charlie Kirk ending so they can build up more momentum for their cause

Note to evangelicals. No, it isn't the message that makes people feel unsafe. It is the unhinged person refusing to shut up and ranting to a captured audience that can't walk away that makes people feel unsafe.
