Actor Chris Pratt opened up about his Christianity and how the Hollywood community reacts to his faith. Hint: They don't.
The star of film series' Jurassic World, Guardians of the GalaxyandAvengers doesn't care what anyone thinks of his Christian faith, and the good news is, no one in Hollywood does either.
Pratt sat down for a Q&A with AP. When asked about his faith, he had this to say:
That kind of a message, it might not be for everybody. But there is a group of people for whom that message is designed. And nothing fills my soul more than to think that maybe some kid watching that would say, 'Hey, I've been thinking about that. I've been thinking about praying. Let me try that out.' That's like the only way I feel like I can repay what has essentially been a giant gift in my life.
And what about those rumors of Hollywood being anti-Christian?
I think that there's this narrative that exists out there that Hollywood is anti-Christian or anti-religious, but it's just not the case. They are kind of not anti-anything. They are kind of pro whatever is authentic to you. And I like that. Because it's authentic for me to be pro-Christian, pro-Jesus. That's my thing. I like it. And I've never had anyone try to shame me, to my face. Maybe they go say it behind my back. But if that's the case, go ahead. You can say whatever you want about me - to my face or behind my back. I'm not going to change.
Seems the Christians aren't buying it, however, and Pratt was subjected to a purity test.
Odd, huh?
That's okay Chris, the non-Christians still believe you even if your fellow Christians think you are lying.
