For someone who claims to follow the Bible, she needs to have another look at Matthew 6:1.

"Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven."

I might have to print this out on a business card-sized paper to hand out to people that "preach" at me like this.

So even the people writing the Christian holy book knew how annoying those types could be.

I'm absolutely certain there are more than a few pastors, priests, etc., who see this woman's videos and think, "fuck, not her again."

Well, their book also says “thou shalt not kill” and we know they don’t take that one seriously at all.

There's also a nice bit saying women are not allowed to teach or excercise authoroty ovet men and are supposed to be quiet....meanwhile this crazy broad not only preached while on a plane full of men, she also kept trying to argue with the male flight attendent.

She will have no reward from her father in heaven anyway.

You obviously have no idea what that means sir

u/StevenTrustrum 7h ago

Oh? No idea, you say? Let's see ...

I believe this was Jesus warning people not to go around doing good deeds and practicing their faith for the purpose of gaining recognition and attention because--regardless of the deeds one does--God sees the intention behind it and judges you for that. Essentially, it tells one not to use their faith and deeds performatively, like this woman is doing when she purposely contrives these situations and records them to portray herself as victimized and to get attention, making it about her and not about her faith.

Did I get it wrong, "sir"?

My ultimate favorite:

Matthew 6:5-8.

5 And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

Her belief transcends the Bible.

spreading the faith through evangelism is not prohibited. It's encouraged even. Doing it because you want attention, or to be annoying, or to "own the libs", or to make yourself look more holy, or as a "first amendment audit", or because you're so mentally ill that you've been stripped of free will--these are what are not recommended.

This lady clearly seems to be an annoying case of one of the latter. But it's possible her motivations are based on an entirely humble and ego free interest in convincing others to adopt christianity and prevent its "persecution" by the government and institutions. In which case, by the standards of her own theology, it's probably ok. Although I'm sure I'll get sent a dozen quotes from various progressive popes and preachers that are in vogue among reddit christianity dweebs.

From a secular POV yeah she's a loser, put her on the do not fly list.

Her social media posts have appeared in my various feeds elsewhere because of the algorithms.

Her motivation is not genuine.
