i like chris pratt. i like that he wasn't afraid to share his faith when he won the MTV movie award last year. even though he's not exactly living a christian existence while getting divorced and falling into some celebrity cliches, he still seems like a good guy.
his speech, in which he shared a message of his faith, was not completely aired. it was edited to not include him mentioning god.
The star briefly thanked family, friends and his son, Jack, before addressing the younger generation in a speech he called “Nine Rules from Chris Pratt.” In it, the star mixed advice about how to be a good person with more humorous advice such as how to discreetly defecate at a party and how to properly feed a dog medicine.
Notably, three of the nine parts of the speech had to do with Pratt’s faith.
“God is real. God loves, you, God wants the best for you,” he said as the sixth installment in the list. “Believe that. I do.”
“Learn to pray,” Pratt continued in his eighth bullet on the list. “It’s easy, and it’s good for your soul.”
The star finally concluded with a note about grace.
“Nobody is perfect. People are going to tell you you’re perfect just the way you are - you’re not. You’re imperfect,” he said. “You always will be. But, there is a powerful force that designed you that way. And if you’re willing to accept that, you will have grace. And grace is a gift. And like the freedom that we enjoy in this country that grace was paid for with somebody else’s blood. Don’t forget it. Don’t take it for granted,” he said to applause from the crowd.
why that was censored, shows a pretty weak-minded bias against it. i'm an agnostic if anything, but i don't believe in censoring people's faith.
I think people have to come to the realization that the far left is essentially marxist and that marxism and religion cannot coexist.
I'm an unabashed liberal and I've finally awoken to that truth. I worked campaigns for years and it could never be openly said because so many of the candidates were Catholics. However, you would always hear little bits of it from the young staffers, especially when discussing the abortion issue (or really the abortion non issue for the overwhelming majority of the electorate).
That's not to say I'm comfortable with the mingling of religion and politics by the far right that has occurred during my adult life.
It's a confusing world right now
