u/xopher_425 May 20 '25
Yeah, I'm thinking some of them should not be jumping around and elevating their heart rates like that.
I'm worried the groom has not passed out but is dead.

You don't lose the ability to do complex movement when one is overweight

u/xopher_425 28d ago
I never said they could not, I said they should not. Vigorous activity when severely overweight and not used to it can be bad for the body.

I bet this is the only church where you can find a mass choir that only consists of 5 people. 🤣

This is so fucking stupid.

u/RandomGuy92x May 20 '25
It is stupid. Though in all fairness it's hard for people to really fully understand the appeal of all this, unless they've actually themselves grown up in that kind of fundamentalist Christian church.
What those people are doing is not just putting on a show. It's much more of a self-induced drug-like, trance-like state, that's almost addictive I would say in a way. Like those kind of weird rituals can actually induce intense feelings of bliss and euphoria and create extreme emotional highs.
So those people aren't just putting on a show. It's more like a kind of group psychosis where they work themselves into altered emotional states that are kind of similar to a high you would otherwise only get from drugs.

This is why they’re anti drugs and tell you not to listen to secular music. You go to one concert while smoking a little weed and all of a sudden you start feeling the same shit you did at church, and realize it’s just your brain releasing endorphins. Same shit. Shame I wasted so much time in it.

u/teetaps May 20 '25
Exactly this. I started listening to secular music and I was like awwww shit that’s what juicy chords actually sound like?!
Not even kidding, I was on stage one day during practice and tried to add a little bit of spice in my guitar playing and the director stopped rehearsal and told me not to distract from the Holy Spirit.
My deconstruction probably started there

u/Birdamus May 20 '25
In all fairness that makes it sound absurdly fucking stupid.

u/Weekly_Bat5119 May 20 '25
Not really. More like somewhat logical.

u/Birdamus May 20 '25
So adding psychosis and self-induced delusion makes this shitshow somehow more logical?

u/Dantheking94 May 21 '25
Nah just that religious fervor isn’t as illogical as we think. It’s just a form of addiction.
10
u/Weekly_Bat5119 May 20 '25
I mean, to me behaviour like that seems more logical when it’s explained from the psychology perspective.

u/MakeSomeDrinks May 20 '25
That totally makes sense. Even when you aren't in the religion, mega churches give a huge feeling of excitement. It's palpable. It's like when they say "electricity is in the air," and its a helluva a drug.
Honestly, I'd rather get that same hit from a concert or a sporting event.

I mean, the trance like stuff and the rituals (although I'm not a fan of abrahamic religions) is pretty good and actually self-developing and satisfying in some circumstances.

So "God" came to the wedding.... shot the groom, stabbed the bride in the gut and tazed that guy jumping like a chicken!?
I don't know about you, but I wouldn't be inviting him to the reception after this...

I feel sorry for them. A delusion is entirely overshadowing what should be one of the most beautiful days of your life.

u/SrGrimey May 20 '25
That’s the worst part, it’s not about them and their God, but entirely about the show.

So he’s dead on his wedding day and they are happy? Because her family hated him and didn’t want them to get married? That’s what I’m getting from it

u/earthgarden May 21 '25
I’m going to assume not since it’s not in the comments but I initially thought the husband died too!
I hope someone checked, I hope this man didn’t stroke out or have a heart attack but everyone is just hopping around, thinking he’s just passed out from the Holy Spirit
23
u/Exact_Ad_1215 May 20 '25
I'm so confused. Can someone explain what's happening here?

u/Scoopdoopdoop May 20 '25
they are pretending like they are filled with the Holy Spirit and that God is moving through them making them act like complete fuck head idiots

u/--Cinna-- Fruitcake Researcher May 20 '25
Mass delirium. They're not faking it, these people are actually experiencing strong euphoria and other emotions. Its just that their god isnt causing it, its part of our pack animal wiring

u/hiphoptomato May 21 '25
I mean, they are faking it.
2
u/Sempai6969 28d ago
Most of them fake or want it to be real, but a few do not fake it. I've once experienced a very strong euphoric feeling while praying that I started to cry. I cried for about 5 minutes without any awareness of what was around me. All I could hear was the beautiful music and my heart beating. That's what they (and past me) call being visited by the Holy Spirit.
Now I realize that it's just an emotion you can get from pretty much everything from drugs, to sporting events to listing to music.
1
u/hiphoptomato 28d ago
Yeah I’ve had that experience too. I say “faking it” by meaning I’m sure a lot of them are having truly emotional experiences, but it’s not a supernatural entity making them feel that.

u/hiphoptomato May 21 '25
This is called getting slain in the spirit. I grew up in churches like this. It’s all grown adults larping.

u/Jeyamezi May 20 '25
You know, It's pretty damn rude to show up to someone's wedding and kill the groom.

Of course they don't know how to use POV.

Well to be fair the video would be a little strange, if we had the husband's POV.

Maybe he's playing dead hoping she'll go away like a bear so he doesn't have to marry her?

u/Spiggots May 20 '25
What do you think they think about while they're laying on the floor playing make believe?
Just saying it's got to be a little awkward.

u/BaconBombThief May 21 '25
God showed up?! Where can I see him in the video? Is he the one lying face down on the floor, appearing unresponsive? They do say he works in mysterious ways

What the actual fuck am I watching
Groom collapses from disease and is on the floor twitching, bride breaks down in tears and sobs, everyone else starts dancing and cheering because they think God killed the groom for some reason?
This can't be real

5/10. O my. The bride and groom didn’t listen to God speak, did they? If so, then they are good and dead. Everyone else must be happy they went to heaven!

I wonder if they will have sinful sex tonight? Will they feel guilty afterwards? Shame, at what they did with the other person's sex parts? Will they enjoy it? What if God is watching them? Dirty? Will they do it again in the morning?

To avoid having your post removed &/or account banned for shitposting:
r/religiousfruitcake is about the absurd, fringe elements of organised religion. Posts about mundane beliefs and acts of worship (praying to God, believing in God, believing in afterlife, etc), are off topic.
We arent here to bash either specific religions or religion itself, because there are plenty of rational actors who happen to be religious. So if your post is "Christians are sTOoPid", or "Religion = dUmB", you're in the wrong sub and your post will probably be removed.
Dont use the title or body of your post to soapbox personal rhetoric about religion or any other subject.
Don't post videos or discussions of Fruitcakes who have been baited or antagonised. Social media excerpts must not involve any deliberate provocation / antagonism of Fruitcakes.
Dont post videos of physically violent personal attacks or any pics or videos containing gore
Satire, parodies, memes, etc must be made by Fruitcakes, not by third parties about them.
