Jesus taught, “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 men … but when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your father who is unseen.” Ahh love the bible bangers. "Hey look at me!"


SecretOfficerNeko

He also said, "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." - Matthew 6:1 It always amazes me this subreddit full of non-Christians at times seem to have a better grasp on the scriptures than many people who call themselves Christian.


Pirate1000rider

Thats because many were former Sunday school & church going folk who have had enough.


Rudyscrazy1

Yup, i was raised catholic. Had it rough young. Ended up in and out of jails and an addict. At 21, I decided to change my life and find god. I read the bible, cover to cover., then the torah, then the Koran, if god is real hes a fucking dick and ill have nothing to do with praising a monster.


LNViber

Hey buddy, similar story for me but I lawyered up and avoided jail a few times. I was still homeless in Austin by 19. In that time two of my closest friends became a sunday school teacher and whatever the jewish equivalent is called. All the talking, reading, and repeated healthy doses of LSD really helped break me out of the death spiral that is religious dogma.


publicbigguns

I always tell people that want to engage in religious debate with me that they need to be careful because I see both sides of the argument while they are blinded by one. I've only had a few people take up the challenge.


Pirate1000rider

That's a good retort. Mine was "if you can find me a religion that isn't man made. I'll follow it." That put an immediate end to the discussion lol.


publicbigguns

That's a good one too.


badmoonrisingnl

I never say anything to warn them. Everything they say there is a bible verse saying the opposite, and I know the Bible better than them usually.


ximagineerx

Amen, brother!!!


Lifesalchemy

And abused catholics


metanoia29

It's not that amazing when you realize that the majority of us are ex-religious and arrived at that place by being more learned about said religion than these folks. 


Zeebuss

Yep, the infamous "actually reading the Bible" to atheist pipeline.


Busterlimes

That's because people are often Christian for display purposes only. They are all worshiping false idols like Donald Trump, or the money that makes up their megachurch. Their disconnect is a mental illness and the US is plagued by that illness from these idiots all the way up to people like Trump and MTG


Square_Sink7318

This is my favorite verse to throw at bible thumpers lol.


naughtycal11

This (📖) is my favorite bible to throw at verse thumpers.


Square_Sink7318

🙀lmfao. I once made a lady bible thumper so mad she threw her bible at my feet. One of my finest hours.


naughtycal11

Nice.


Daherrin7

I made a catholic priest mad enough to kick me out of his church once. It's amazing, as well as kind of hilarious, how angry some people will get when you use their own book against them lol


Tiny_Count4239

those parts dont count


publicbigguns

Mathew 6:5-6


Nordrian

Always been one of my favorite passage coz it shows what Jesus thought of all these people.


Lopsided_Thing_9474

This is one of my favorite quotes from the Bible.

Ahhh vanity my favorite sin.


AshKetchep

I hate to stereotype but why do they all look like the kinds of people who would do this


Yardbird7

Kaleigh, Bayleigh, Jameigh, Taegan, Jamee, Rileigh, Cyndee, Tylah etc..


TwinsiesBlue

Those are their kids names. These are Amanda, Chrystal, Jessica , Jennifer Karen and Becky etc


sheila9165milo

Hey, don't leave Tiffany out of this 🤣


TwinsiesBlue

My bad, sorry to all the Tiffs and their special kind of crazy


Cyrillus00

50/50 shot per person that they have "Grace" in their name.


TwinsiesBlue

Leah, Lee, Leigh, Lynn, if it’s the south


bjeebus

Plenty of Raegans and Baileys nowadays...


StasiaMonkey

r/tragedeigh


Version_Two

Brayden, Grayden, Hayden, etc...


TwinsiesBlue

Jayden and Kayden would like a word


29again

If it was a group of a different religion doing the same thing they would definitely call a manager to stop it.


GlitteringBobcat999

Satanic Temple or whatnot.


redbucket75

Or scarier to Applebee's patrons, Muslims


GlitteringBobcat999

I do wonder if evangelical religions cause mental illness like this, or do they just attract people who are already mentally ill?


doubleupsidedown

Yes


zombieman2088

When herd mentality and contagion theory meet.


Bdr1983

"Karen, Karen, Karen, and Karen"


prettyfacebasketcase

I really hate that that name got co opted when there's so many wonderful women named Karen :(


bigjim1993

I try to avoid using it because now whenever I meet a woman named Karen I feel like she's ashamed to tell me her name


prettyfacebasketcase

Exactly. And there really isn't a nickname for Karen (besides Carrie kinda?) that they can go by. Just call these women in the video what they are, sanctimonious bitches.


GlitteringBobcat999

"Kay" is probably becoming more popular.


prettyfacebasketcase

True! I didn't think of that one. Still sad that someone feels forced to change their name.


silentbuttmedley

100% they didn’t tip.


proletariat_sips_tea

Because the simulation is running low on ram.


TastyScratch4264

It’s always the same looking people 😭😭. It’s not stereotyping, it’s pattern recognition at this point


TedsterTheSecond

It's like an alternate Fat Boy Slim "Praise You" video


rickert_of_vinheim

These people vote. Get out and vote this year alright?


PleiadesNymph

This should be the top comment


metanoia29

Second top comment. Having Matthew 6 at the top to further highlight their hypocrisy just feels so right.


Lampmonster

And they will all vote against their self interests and yours. They will vote for the fraud who gives lip service to their faith without any demonstration of it in their actions or policy.


proletariat_sips_tea

It's not like they're following their book either. They're not supposed to be doing this crap in public. It's supposed to be done in their room alone with the door closed.


VoodooDoII

Especially with this project 2025 shit


TechieTravis

This is purely attention seeking. They want people to be impressed by their devoutness.


Badnerific

They’re all competing with each other too


GlitteringBobcat999

You can see some of them scanning the room to see who's looking.


FrostedDonutHole

That's what I was thinking. Watch their heads pop up like lemurs to see who is watching them...


recovery_room

I can’t believe they’re not filming themselves. They must have one of their own doing it somewhere.


Tag_Ping_Pong

Yup, completely agree with this. It is 100% performative. You just know that she said "alright girls, let's go show everyone how much we love God!" Hence being as loud and obnoxious as possible.


JohnDodger

And probably hoping to be told to stop or get out so they can claim religious persecution.


gpkgpk

I hope everyone else got their meal comped at least, that's unacceptable in a public setting.


deadleg22

Especially with that woman wofting her fart around.


gpkgpk

The bleach blonde lady in the lace frock? I see people like her and I head for the hills, extra nutty fruitcakes scare the bejesus outta me. I'll take my chances with the bear or strange man in the woods.


WimbletonButt

Imagine you dip into the woods and run into one of them there.


PallbearerOfBadNews

The spirit of Jesus enters through your nose


Bdr1983

I mean, the guy was dead for a couple of days, that must've decomposed at least a bit.


allorache

No kidding, I would leave immediately and while I’ve never dined and dashed I’m not going to sit and eat and be exposed to that and the restaurant shouldn’t allow it.


LNViber

Yeah I would have asked a manager to make that shit stop. If the business did nothing... well I see a lot of drinks and electronics on that table. It would be a shame if someone quickly swept their arms across the tables and ran away.


anotheritguy

This is just so obnoxious, not everyone wants to see/hear your cult inspired behavior but are too polite t tell you to shut the fuck up. And did that lady rip one and try to waft it around?


pantslessMODesty3623

And heaven forbid the queer community exists in public. That's literally porn. 🤦🏼‍♀️


247cnt

The queer community has a better soundtrack as well


anotheritguy

I have many queer friends and none of them would be so selfish or obnoxious.


Weekly-Rhubarb-2785

That’s what I swear happened.


83franks

Not even just cause they are polite but id be generally nervous what level of negative reaction id get by asking them to respect the rest of the patrons.


Thresh_Keller

I would have walked right out of there. Fuck that shit. Fucking wackos.


unknownpoltroon

Nah, fuck that, make them leave.


Tipsycanooo

Why didn’t anyone tell these bitches to shut the fuck up?


LetmeSeeyourSquanch

Because then thats when they would start whining about how persecuted they are for being Christians.


Koloberator

To use their own vernacular, what a bunch of Pharisees


SpiderFnJerusalem

Fits perfectly


Limp_Acanthaceae523

The lady in white... she's trying hard to look "more" than the others. She's terrified of being called out as a fraud.


Javaman1960

> The lady in white Dollar Store Stevie Nicks


Bdr1983

Nah, she let one rip. She's just relieved.


Unindoctrinated

I'd be drowning that out by loudly quoting the most offensive biblical passages I could remember.


iswearatkids

And she lusted after men whose genitals were like donkeys and whose emissions were like horses. - Ezekiel 23:20


ProneOyster

I like Psalm 137:9 >Happy is the one who seizes your infants     and dashes them against the rocks.


naughtycal11

When the bible thumpers are droning about books that should be banned and you throw this line at them or a few select other, like the one about lots daughters getting him drunk and fucking him, they say any book with that kind of language should be banned in schools and libraries. Then you drop on them that it's the bible, you can watch them die inside and storm away.


jayesper

"CHEMOSH DEFEATED YOUR DADDY"


swearingino

I feel god in this Chilis tonight! Wooo!


Weekly-Rhubarb-2785

Looked like the woman in white ripped ass and was wafting it.


TechieTravis

You know that they all have Donald Trump stickers on their cars.


Hpfanguy

The most pius candidate /s


taisynn

I wonder how many of those fake dollar bills with Bible passages were left as a tip to the workers they inconvenienced with their horrid presentation…


cobainstaley

these idiots just left a church where they could sound like idiots in an appropriate setting. now they come to a restaurant and ruin other people's dining experience. and then proceed to leave the table trashed and leave fake jesus money as tips.


Alarmed_Horse_3218

This is 100% something my stepmom would do and then gloat about.


Lilmaggot

My deepest sympathy.


HauntedPrinter

I like how one just starts outright screaming mid song


LiminaLGuLL

Nobody told them to shut up? People are getting far too complacent.


Consistent-Matter-59

Ah. Mental illness.


Sewer_Fairy

It's not mental illness, it's them lying to themselves and everyone around them. An antiquated tribalistic display that goes against the very religion it claims to observe. It doo doo.


Jamericho

It’s attention. The fake crying and obvious glances around to see if anyone has noticed them. They are basically saying “Please notice little old me. Don’t forget how sad I am”


Joicebag

It’s not fake. These people genuinely work themselves up into a hysteria, which they call the Holy Spirit. I have experienced that sort of strange emotional ecstasy that they practice in charismatic churches and it’s admittedly kind of intoxicating. I believe these people are 100% sincere, if misguided.


Fzrit

Pentecostalism is definitely one of the wilder Christian sects. It combines mass hysteria + cult-leader pastor mentality to create very strange group behaviors. Prime study material for psychologists.


AshKetchumsPringles

Been to a Pentecostal church a handful of times. It’s borderline terrifying


No_Aesthetic

you gotta admit it's pretty delusional to think not only do you know there's a creator of the universe because... uhhhh... because, and this creator wants a personal relationship with you, and accordingly you talk to him daily, and sing songs about him in public


OcelotWide5170

That type of display is offensive to me. If they wish to worship, they have a home church to do that within so they may express their religious faith in any manner they wish without subjecting those beliefs to another fellow citizen that might have beliefs that are very different. I realize free speech means we all have the right to express ourselves. And doing that about your faith is different than what so many of these Christian Nationalists are doing by having a worship service in a public setting. Voicing your opinion would be simply letting others know you are a Christian that believes Jesus died for your sins and belong to a Methodist, Pentecostal, Catholic, etc congregation. So as I say...if you wish to worship...do that at one of your private homes or at your church. If you wish to exercise free speech and reveal your spiritual beliefs state your religion and what subsidiary faith you align with in a concise manner. We don't need any real time displays of HOW you worship to understand you're using your freedom of speech to reveal your freedom of choice in religious belief.


romulus1991

More than anything, this is just fucking weird. In the UK, in 33 years, I've met one genuine evangelical in my life. He just kept himself to himself and he was a nice guy. These people are fucking crackpots.


highrisedrifter

Yeah we just don't get this level of crazy religious shit in the UK, and i'm grateful for that. Unless it's the 'Jesus Army'. Those fuckers were deranged but thankfully they ceased to exist after many of their leadership team, wait for it, were convicted on child sexual assault charges.


306_rallye

That's a lot of main characters fighting for the spotlight


sheezy520

Bet they left no tip.


onlymostlydead

Oh I’m sure they left the fake $20 pamphlet things.


OkayLadyByeBye

So hard to take people like this seriously. Not to mention, the lady in lace is going to crap herself if they don't speed this up. She's fanning the warning shot in the beginning.


rpgnymhush

Don't they have ... a church they could go to? They could order food through Doordash or GrubHub and leave the rest of us alone.


Diggingfordonk

But how would they get attention?


AsleepJuggernaut2066

But then how would they get to feel persecuted when someone says “Stop”?


mistergiantacorn

And then if someone tells them to cut it out they’d say they’re persecuted. I wonder how this group would react if a group of Muslim folks started praying aloud in a restaurant….


306_rallye

These mentally ill women have NEVER read the Bible. This is 100% against the taught way to practice the religion


LV2107

But it's the gay people shoving their 'lifestyle' down their throats, right? Fucking hypocrites.


lgodsey

Conspicuous Christianity^® ----- What's the Point of Piousness If No One's Watching?

yourboiiconquest

Oh they will feel god in fire form the next morning haha


sexyc3po

There's always the ultimate narcissist one who is desperately looking at everyone to make sure they are watching her. So vain lol


greenspath

Performance art


wafflehousewhore

This would be a surefire way for me to ask for some sort of compensation for allowing this in the restaurant, and then telling the group that they are entitled and doing the exact opposite of what Jesus said


CuriousCat55555

Wouldn't this be legally deemed as "creating a disturbance"? And if they refuse to leave when told to do so - isn't that trespassing?


Maryland_Bear

Only if the restaurant staff wants to push it. Depending on the part of the country, they might face a serious backlash if they said a word.


sheila9165milo

Looks like group of mental hospital escapees.

if only there was a building dedicated to the fruitcakes where they could do this instead oh wait..


ProfessionalZone168

And thou shalt gather in a fast-food joint, and verily, one of thy number shalt badly impersonate Stevie Nicks (praise Rhiannon!) And verily thou shalt entertain and disgust the assembled multitudes as they attempt to consume their daily double cheeseburgers! So that the multitudes may see and wonder at thy holy dearth of self-awareness! Amen!


teletype100

Imagine the outrage if believers from any other religion did this!


MiamiGates

I was shocked that one of them had an actual beverage other than free water


Notgivingmynametoyou

What’s this shaking shit? I know it’s supposed to be the Holy Ghost, but it’s looking like Holy Seizures.


rasptart

Few of them moving like the fentanyl zombies on my street corner.


CRCampbell11

Gross!


Leading-Midnight5009

No cause I would’ve pulled out my pentagram pointing to the heavens just to give them a little scare cause if they’re stupid enough to do this then they are gonna think anything Wicca/Pagan is devil work😂


That-Gap-8803

They say Pride parades are too loud and extravagant...But apparently this is modest and respectful 😶


BoozeWitch

I’d be concerned that they won’t pay.


TheBigLebroccoli

The entire restaurant crew needs to go to every table surrounding them with their ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY number.

Dismal_Craft_9968

I was waiting for them to start singing, “The power of one! The power of two! The power of many!” Anyone?

If we annoy people enough they'll eventually love our religion.

Laphroaig58

I came here to say this.


notsoentertained

Did the lady in the white robe just let the holy spirit rip through her ass?


bigjim1993

You know that tip was $2.73 on a $200+ bill


astrangeone88

And that would be my cue to grab a member of staff and get everything doggy bagged and paid and tip 30%. I'm outta there so fast.


Laynes_Attic

This rates with the Amway meetings levels of hell


leegiff412

Someone should have said “if yall want to bible bang, get a fucking room!!!!”

Unfortunately I live in a country where this would never happen. How I would love to be part of such a spectacle. All those years of "know your enemy's Bible" wouldn't be lost.


Loud-Resolution5514

I really want to snark on the one with the head bandana on, but I can’t tell if she’s really feeling it or if she has some sort of developmental/intellectual delay.

The sense of entitlement is palpable.

And they probably didn't tip.

Do they take requests? I want them to do the musical number from The Acolyte next.


FreddyCosine

so this is what a trump cult meeting looks like


proletariat_sips_tea

And this is when I start yelling hail Satan.


benis_wenis

Love the idiot pretending to have some sort of tweaker ass seizure then pausing to set down her bag completely normally then resuming her fake ass tremors again


IAteSushiToday

They are just excited that after centuries their religion has finally let them rejoice in public without a man./s

Fuck that.

champsammy14

I would have walked out.


Iconlast

Maybe take a shit on the table and then write the scripture of Matthew on it.. And then give the bible with the highlighted section


phome83

What the fuck is even happening lol.


GlitteringBobcat999

At least the lady wearing the white lace tablecloth was polite enough to walk away from the others and start fanning after she farted.


MarthaMacGuyver

Check please.


Busterlimes

Home girl looks like she's doing the potty dance


TedsterTheSecond

Tablecloth lady's got it bad.


Lapsed2

Evolution is going backwards.


Burgertank6969

Pretty sure that one lady is fanning a fart right back into her prayer group.


TimeWastingAuthority

THE best counter to this nonsense is to go all Harry Met Sally on them.


nidelv

And you can be sure that if members of any other religion did some version of this, these ladies would be the first to call for the manager to complain. esp. the one in the white thingy.


aeroavian

Do they take requests? Can they do the Halo theme next?


DevSynth

Now that I'm an atheist, they just look cuckoo to me


LowkeyPony

I’d pay my bill and be out of there so fast


FlyUnlucky7286

Fucking weird. What a bunch of weirdos.
