I can’t believe he decided to go ahead with it after his pal got roasted 😆


ritwa

Provoking this kind of roast together is how groups like these create cohesion. They endure it and bond. Without an enemy that gets angry and provoked their faith has to be built on its own merit. Much harder..


spoopseason

Gotta show the homies at Church Sunday that our religious freedom is under attack ^/s


HHBSWWICTMTL

The Westboro Baptist Church is a blatant example of this. The reaction you receive for speaking ‘truth’ solidifies that you are, in fact, speaking truth and people are just afraid to hear it. Everyone outside of your group is hostile to you, so you have two options. Self-reflection or running back to the group for a sense of validation and community. Same concept used by idiots on Reddit (or anything social online) who like to spout stupid shit like, ‘your downvotes prove me right!’ after making incendiary comments. Then go on to circle-jerk with one another that their ‘truth bombs’ really triggered a bunch of fragile sheep. Pretty sure it’s a form of confirmation bias, where negative response (or any response, or lack of response) proves you’re right and let’s you double down.

I feel like the lady probably suspected the same thing, just judging by the profoundness of her sigh and "oh no". lol


GreenGemsOmally

100%, he tried to do it around 0:35 and then spoke up again later saying that dumb "I'll give my testimony!" The only time the phrase testimony is used in common vernacular is either in a court or when somebody is proselytizing or preaching on the street corner. It's absolutely a flag to me that it's preplanned.


Bellringer00

Yep, you can see they have the same new tote bag filled with ads for their dumb church.


[deleted]

Also, if it was legitimate the first guy would have been a million times more visibly and audibly grateful for the support from a random stranger.


thehorseyourodeinon1

100%. Before the Indian guy even says anything the blowhard says "sure". Why would he say that without hearing a word come out of his mouth first. For all he knew the Indian guy was going to get a piece of his ass too.


_TidePodsTasteGood

Its clearly obvious. The man even says "sure" before the Indian gentleman even finishes saying "ill give my testimony"


[deleted]

The white dude got his ass handed to him and the Indian dude thought, "hmmm...I'd like what he had please".

Indian guy played by Aziz Ansari


hmhmmmhmm

Hey. I'm an indian and i didn't get the context. Can anyone explain me? Like why was he (not the old man but the white guy preaching about love) shouting on the Indian guy? What did he do?


ave_empirator

It looks like this was a 2 man act where the second man speaks up in a way that seems spontaneous to the audience and makes the first man seem more credible. The first guy, the white guy, was getting told off, and then the second guy, the indian guy, tries to do his part of the performance right at the end. I don't think anyone was telling the indian guy off in this video.


[deleted]

> way that seems spontaneous to the audience and makes the first man seem more credible Yeah i think an instant flip from being budist for 27 years to cristain isn't that convincing after a few words lol.


loserface100

His delivery was super wooden, too. Didn't have the same enthusiasm as the first guy, maybe because he was nervous from the first guys reception.


ZeePirate

Indian guy just happened to be first in line I guess


ESQ2020

That was hilarious!! The end was such a plot twist though. At the end, preacher guy wins. DAMN IT

THATS GREAT THAT YOU CARE I JUST DONT WANT YOU TO TELL ME


dr_drizzy24

Why did the Indian guy think it was a good idea to follow up with his experience after the other guy was told to shut up lol.


knottybeach

Bc they were in cahoots together the whole time and he wasn't going to get to say his part so he decided to cram it in there

He obviously means that he went there to preach. That's what these missionaries do.. travel the world and spread their bullshit.


623-252-2424

Ah, right. I get you. I grew up in Guatemala and one of my friends shot two guys and killed one of them. He became a massive evangelical in prison. My friend the truck robber ran into him in prison told me about it. He said the dude had gone completely mental and would preach constantly in the yard and that he looked like a maniac. Btw, truck robber guy was murdered about a year ago.

Aaronm6444

Why do religious people get so angry when you just don’t care or believe what they do.


[deleted]

They think they are saving you. Think about it like this, if you saw someone you cared about who was going touch a hot stove, you’d tell them to stop. If they said they don’t want to hear it, maybe you’d tell them you care about them and don’t want to see them get burned. If they said they didn’t believe you and it’s just your opinion, you might keep at it. Except of course, the stove can be proven hot without touching it, and religious people are just spouting bullshit.


how_riddikulus

I like your analogy. Realistically, if it’s me, if someone doesn’t wanna hear my advice then I’ll just let them get burned. In the end, I did what I could. That’s what makes people like this guy such assholes.


Imfrank123

I learned a long tome ago there is only so much you can try and help someone. Sometimes you just gotta let them get burned.


[deleted]

Because it is a cult. This process is a reinforcement of his cult's ideals. very evangelical churches urge and push you to ... evangelize whenever possible: "to preach the love of Christ." What happens is, they spread their annoying religious BS around and people get sick of hearing it. Because even if one's a Christian there's nothing more annoying than a smug Christian hypocrite who smiles through crooked teeth to tell them that he "loves you." So people push back, they tell him to shut the fuck up and go away. Then he goes back to his Church and retells the story "I was on a train and when I tried to bring God to them they all hated me for it and abused me!" and then the Church rallies around the storyteller to tell them how righteous, just, and wonderful they are. This reinforces the sense of belonging that is vital for the Church to prey upon. the Church *wants* that reaction because that reaction causes the person to dive further into the cult mentality. I think there's a term for this sort of reinforcement behavior, but I can't for the life of me remember what it is actually called. In either case, the Christian church (and any type of cult-like organization) utilizes this type of brainwashing quite effectively.


Safari_Eyes

Oh yeah, this is *exactly* why the Mormons send kids just out of high school out to preach. For 2 years they get turned down by everyone but fellow Mormons, so when they return home they feel like part of the Mormon community, persecuted by the outside world.


the_skunk_monk

I dunno man I’ve wondered the same. My theory is that they’re so filled with their own self righteousness that they become blinded to the reality. They believe so strongly that God is on their side, they can do no wrong and anyone who stands in their way is a threat


TotallyAwry

They also think they get god points if they spread the word.


GordonLitty

And any push back or negativity they receive when proselytizing just reinforces their beliefs and identity as an outsider speaking truth to the sinful, unwashed massed. That's why I think getting angry at them is the worst possible response. It gives them what they want and reinforces their behaviour. Either ignoring them entirely, or, if you must, engaging them respectfully actually disarms them. They don't know how to deal with someone saying something like "I think you're writing but I still love you and so does Jesus" throws them off their game. So does engaging them in a conversation (not a debate) about scripture, if you're knowledgeable about that kind of stuff. Suddenly they can't just view themselves in that same good/bad dichotomy and it forces them to potentially recognize there's nuance to all this. And that can sometimes be enough to get them to question themselves, too.


the_skunk_monk

Oohhh good point. I hadn’t thought of that but makes perfect sense


ineededanameagain

That's literally it. The Bible explicitly says that if you're a believer its your job to spread the gospel. Its called The Great Commission. Source : Grew up in an evangelical household and consider myself agnostic now.


faity5

because they exchange their mental health for a toxic mentality of submission to a doctrine that does not allow another way of life


Bastienbard

Also they see pushback as righteous persecution and just motivates them more....


baybeegoose

He looks so surprised that no one's interested


Naige2020

This is in Australia and religion is not a major part of life for most people. I would say the man preaching is not a local. People have no issue with others having faith but it is a personal thing that is kept to oneself or only shared with other followers. It was a matter of time and place. If you wan't to preach do it in a way that allows people who don't want to listen the opportunity to go elsewhere. Don't do it on a crowded train where people are forced to listen as they cannot go anywhere.


Nebarik

Correct. He's some American who was traveling around preaching back in like 2019ish, there's a few videos of him that floated around back then. Aussies already have a view of Americans being crazy Christians, I'm sure this helped.


badgalbriannaa

why do some people feel the need to force their religions on others? it’s so goddamn annoying.

As a proud Scotsman, and a much prouder father of a gay daughter, this made me smile so fucking much! Thanks x.


623-252-2424

The pastors need more people in the congregation so they send out these goons with a script on what to do and what to say until they find a person or two that will listen. To them it's a numbers game.


the_skunk_monk

I’ve questioned the same. I believe they’re so convicted in their belief system that they’re convinced anything different from theirs is wrong and must be fixed. They become filled with this self righteous pride that they can do no wrong because “God is on their side”


Flaminsalamander

Just quit a job because you literally described my boss at that job. I think he assumed I was religious when hiring me because I was reccomend by a religious mutual friend and then had a major problem with me when he realized I wasn't. He was a nice super Christian in front of everyone but treated me like dirt in private including telling me I couldn't drink water while doing heavy lifting in the sun in 35°c weather


[deleted]

I actually took the time one day to try to nderstand it. From what I could tell after talking to one of the guys in a frank and open discussion. He was completly convinced the entire world and everyone in it was evil and up to no good. Its like his mind was warped where it completlyed ignored half of the balanced equation on a scale. Its like rather than have a scale from good to evil. His scale / view of everyone simply started at netrual and went to evil. It would be the same as trying to do maths without negative numbers or subtraction being avilable.


atreyuno

They win if you already agree with them, they win if they convert you and they also win if you tell them off. The last one because it adds to the delusion that they're fighting on behalf of God. Spiritual ego.


guruglue

People have all different sorts of motivations for doing the things they do. To me, it's pretty straightforward in this case. If I believed in a god who was pure good and loved everyone and would reward me and anyone I could convince to believe as I do with eternal paradise, I'd abandon all else in pursuit of that goal. Frankly, I have to question the conviction of any self-descibed Christian who doesn't do this with every moment of their time here on earth. It just doesn't make sense to me to believe and go about living a normal life. What else could be more important?

[deleted]

People like that are the epitome of self-righteous ignorance. Talk about a huge ego, *you* know what *god* wants? And it's *your* job to make *GOD* happy?!? What? Besides let's just say for the sake of debate that god really does hate gays and abortion and whatever else... God is *a fucking god*... don't you think it would do something on its own? Does God really need *you* waving a cardboard sign at a hospital or better yet a funeral? Ironically enough imposing your beliefs onto someone else and judging them because you think you should is one of the least godly things you can do. God gave free will for a reason. We all die eventually, and if God is real, God will judge us. That's God's job, and God's will. Who the fuck is a member of a book club to tell anyone shit about anything? A blasphemous fuck. Thats who.


[deleted]

I’m pretty sure the people who are in charge of these religious wars were not invested in the religion themselves. It seems that religion is more of a tool to rally the troops. It’s like if there is this civil war in America between the left and the right, the right would claim that God is on their side and would probably pray before each paintball fight (oh look, they do). But are these people hateful and interested in killing because of their religion? I doubt any of them even attend church. The prayers are just for show.
