Florida evangelist Whitney Lynn uses most of her flights as an opportunity to share her faith, a trend that was featured in a recent Washington Post article. On Thursday, she said, her sermon got her kicked off a San Diego-bound jet before it even took off from Orlando International Airport. She documented the removal in a series of videos she posted on social media, one of which had racked up 3 million views on Instagram by Friday afternoon.
If someone did this on my flight I’d demand to be let off. Any religious fundamentalist making a public spectacle to a captive audience should set alarm bells ringing. There’s nothing that woman wouldn’t do if she’s willing to do that and feel she’s perfectly justified.
Can you imagine if a person of Islamic faith stood up before a flight and started preaching from the Quran? You’d have SWAT on that plane before they finished “Praise be to Allah!”
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.
It doesn’t even matter if it’s religious, someone attempting to talk to the entire plane is unacceptable
So… Not a fan of the safety demonstration, I guess? 😛
Only if they make it entertaining.
