"You don't wanna wake up anymore; you're not suicidal but you don't want to be living." Dude, that's...definitely suicidal. Asking someone if they don't want to wake up/don't want to be alive anymore is legitimately part of what you're trained to do when assessing suicidal ideation/suicide risk lol.
I love how young pastors have co-opted slam poet diction, rhythm, emphasis, etc…it’s such a great example of how church takes everything good and makes it cringe
I was gonna say, the first few even have a slam cadence to them, with a kind of rhyme he's put in. He's put in work to taking that rhythm because of the way it makes people listen, and Christian co-opting it to make it suit his purpose, exactly like you said they do with everything.
I was a youngster when Christian Rock became this big industry, and I remember thinking the same thing- music reviewers would write these judgmental, accusatory screeds against [ insert some of my favorite artists here] while recommending Christian artists that just blatantly ripped off their style. I thought then ( as I do now)- what incredible ingratitude. If they were good enough to copy, at least have the grace to give them credit. ( And anyway, listening to someone’s song is listening to their point of view, and my Jesus didn’t teach me to be afraid of other people’s point of view. It might just give me insight I didn’t have before.)
You managed to roast the living shit out of this dude without ever insulting Christianity and to top it all off, it was funny as fuck. Subbed, damn impressive.
“If you grew up going to church, you know how pastors talk” sir, i was raised Roman Catholic, the services are two hours long and everyone speaks like they’ve been shot with an elephant tranquilizer
@@SM-yz4hi Yes, the styles can be very different, even within a denomination. It gets to the point that the style of a group is what tends to attract new converts, such as young Christians who are drawn to perky, poppy music and more casual venues. Which can be concerning, because a hip-looking church could also have really conservative and harmful beliefs. Come for the songs, get stuck with the Creationism, so to speak.
@@jaminavestajugo3456 I didn't expect an actual answer but it's appreciated! When you explain it that way, it makes sense that the styles would be different
The way this dude talks is terrifying to me because everything he says is what my depression tells me, except with a Christian twist. The aggressive loathing he throws at his audience tells me that he's trying to find people who are in a BAD mental space then make them believe that's what love feels like. It's encouraging people to enter an abusive relationship with their faith.
"Enter an abusive relationship with their faith" is the best way of describing what this guy is trying to convey, and I think this is a problem a lot of religious people experience.
i dont disagree with u tho i feel like its less about him trying manipulate his audience like this and more just. wild projecting. like this guy very clearly struggles A Lot and everything hes saying to his viewers gives a very strong impression that he may as well be talking to a mirror. he just doesnt seem to know how to cope in a healthy way, and thinks that doing that is somehow the only right way. its tragic, frankly, and its a shame that hes essentially lashing out by encouraging, like u said, an abusive relationship with their faith due to his own twisted experience. i hope he finds therapy one day
@@PaolaCarlos as a Christian person I must say that is very true, Christians most likely have abuse relationships because they follow the Bible, I don't have a problem with them following it, but staying in an abuse relationship because of it, it ain't it. Also im kinda sick of those Christians people who force religious one others and tell me to dedicate my life to God, like leave me alone, even tho I'm Christian, I'm not gonna dedicate whole life following an old book.
@@elliotseph6342 this is what I thought too about him, like he struggles a lot and he doesn't know how to cope with it other than that, he really needs therapy and I hope he gets one day.
He looks like he has anger problems.. I bet when hes in a relationship he constantly controls what his significant other does and constantly argues with her if she messes up a little.. This dude has problems and hes not dealing with them and using his beliefs to excuse them.. "You know God aldo created therapists.. Go to one, bro."
the joke about turning every minor experience into a chance to preach and be introspective .... that is VERY real in people who become compulsively obsessed with religion in order to cope w their faults..... my father is exactly like this like i cant have a single conversation with him without it somehow relating back to religion?!? like this is actually such a scary reality
This guy saying we aren't better than r_p1sts is so invalidating to victims, and disrespectful and cruel to everyone, too. Religion is supposed to be comforting for people who turn to it, not this.
It's such a dangerous ideology as well. Even if this guy isn't a rapist who is trying to normalise his own actions, but he's still normalising rape/murder ect. It goes a long way to explain why most major Christian churches have sexual abuse trouble.
@@adabsurdum5905 Christian's typically don't like the first testament and don't listen to it, most Christian's I know don't even listen to most of the second testament either because it's all really outdated
Why is he so angry. It’s like he’s trying to guilt you into being a christian. Not a very good technique at getting new people to join Christianity lol
“I got a new camera!... then god reminded me that nothing matters. This is gonna go in the garbage, my dog’s gonna get eaten, the earth is slowly ending and we’ve only got about 30 years left on this planet.... and that’s why I trust god :)”
For real though I think that guy needs a therapist I used to have similar thoughts when I was forced into Christianity and yikes it was awful, like I'd get an ice cream cone and then start thinking about how horrible I am for eating more surgar and supporting large corporations and the animal abuse that goes into animal products i hope he gets help its not a good way to live
literally it sounds so depressing i feel like a loving god would want humans to pursue personal interests and passions, like photography. Idk it doesn’t make sense that a god who is so loving doesn’t want his followers to enjoy anything or do anything besides worship him. Kinda weird bro
"Americans like being comfortable, and being safe..." He says as if that's not what literally everyone wants???? Like when is the last time you asked your friend how he was doing and he goes "Idk man... not in enough fuckin danger right now."
Also he seems to be implying church isn’t supposed to be safe. Like… ik it’s not a “safe space” as in free from judgement (and then there’s the sexual abuse problem ofc) but don’t places of worship try to present themselves as a sort of sanctuary for at least the worshippers?
honestly, i wanna know what this kid's been through. what kinda shit he's seen. what makes his little bleach blonde ass so special that he's entitled to berate us all into going to a church without daycare. i was a blessed idiot at his age too. i'm lucky i didn't have a platform to make an national ass out of myself.
I also love how in this having fun is brushing your teeth and God is orange juice, cause literally any sane person would choose brushing their teeth over drinking orange juice

my bsf was brainwashed by her parents :( I’m bi and I came out to her (my friend of almost 7-8 yrs) and she told me she had to be homophobic bc she was Christan. I can tell that she doesnt feel that way however this whole thing makes her so scared that she feels obligated to be homophobic so she won’t burning in hell or some shit. I hate some parents for terrorizing their children like this. Can’t believe I used to think like that. :(( (also that rap1st thing was mad offensive and I could go on another rant)
I feel you. It's always the worst people who shout the loudest. I know those people aren't actually religious or have even opened an actual Bible (because they wouldn't be saying or doing the things they are if they actually read a Bible), but non religious people don't and then see that and assume that's what it is. It makes me physically cringe and shrivel
David sounds like he is an abusive partner... just yikes. Also, him constantly using the phrase "our generation"...omg, he sounds like he's 800 years old...
It greatly depresses me that this guy has over a million followers. He really does sound like an abusive partner. So incredibly judgemental and arrogant.
This guy is the type of guy to use his religious veiwes against others and claims their religion is the only religion. Like religion wasn't the excuse for genocide.
this guy makes me so sad, he really doesn't realize that he's likely projecting his own fears maybe caused by the insane standards and pressures of his own faith. like this dude is sooo scared of eternal damnation and i get it, but man. that is not healthy. but i dont know him so whatever these are just my immediate thoughts
The thing that I have learned the most recently with how I view my own faith, is that fear is what drives Christians to become unwelcoming, hypocritical, and judgmental. Because the only reason why they restrict themselves from certain choices is because of fear of punishment. And then they turn that back on nonchristians... which is insane.
@@thisissshe There's a difference between the fear of the Lord, good, and fear of hell, bad. Having fear of the Lord is not a bad thing, it's a good thing.
this is almost exactly what it's like for me. my whole family is catholic and i have this fear of being disowned, a fear of dying, and a huge fear of going to hell. it's not good. the only thing that's different for me is that i dont project my fears onto other people. i like that other people find it so easy to believe in whatever they believe. but my personal relationship with religion is incredibly strange and awfully toxic. its not good for me or my mental health, but its all ive ever known. catholicism has been a huge part of my family for generations. its impossible to walk away from
He gets so emotional all of a sudden, it's like he has an existential crisis in the middle of him making a tiktok "So I got this camera yesterday and I think its dope, all of my possessions are gonna turn to rust and-"
That was the most unintentionally hilarious shit ever, its hard to believe its not satire. They literally had a joke similar to this on Bojack Horseman

"Oh so just because the church you go to doesn't take good care of your kids you're not gonna go????" *UH....YEAH????* Those are my kids? If they aren't being taken care of while I'm not there then why would I leave them there?! This guys blind faith is honestly disturbing. He's putting going to church above everything in his life. Whether or not you go to church doesn't make you a "good" Christian. Having faith in god and being kind like god would want you to be is what makes you a good Christian.
I'm not a Christian but if my hypothetical child is getting dumbfuckery hammered into them in a temple, I'm going to remove said child from the temple and fuck off elsewhere.
This guy talks like he's the protagonist in a Lovecraft novel who ends up losing his mind and starting a cult that sacrifices babies to an alien squid god
I went to church for nearly 10 years and the pastor never talked like the ones in the intro. He was so calm and chill. He was great! He wasn't overly Christian crazy.
Like any good abusive relationship, the church repeatedly tells you youre worthless and can only find happiness through God. That was my main issue with Christian school and church
Sadly that was just your church/experience. Sorry you went through that, that sounds sad. The bible never say's we're worthless, God's creation would never be worthless and although you can be very happy without the presence of God in your life, you'll never be able to experience exponential true happiness through our creator, God
@@strawberryfields6917 So basically, they can never be truly happy without God meaning they're not good enough without God in their life. You're literally saying the exact same thing, don't be pretentious lmao
the bible literally says you are worth it because you are made in the image of God but you can only find a eternal source of hairiness and peace through God
This man is giving me very much cult vibes. It feels like he’s telling me to not care about myself, only care for Jesus. Every time I see his tear filled eyes is another nightmare in the making.
Completely, Mormons and Evangelicals are literal, definitive cults that are just normalized in America and some of Canada via ongoing benefits of capitalism and colonialism

Man, I have so many terrible memories of my youth pastors. One of them was constantly trying to be cool and down to earth to appeal to these kids, but that meant he acted just like these asshole jocks and wouldn't even talk to me because I was "weird". It just pushed me further away from Christianity. At the time all I wanted was validation from an older person I respected because I didn't get it at home, and they made me feel so alienated that I just grew this hatred for youth group. I was just a young girl who liked girls and wanted to hear from someone that it's okay.
Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry they put you through that :( I can’t believe he was looking for validation from CHILDREN when he’s supposed to be supporting you all. When I was younger my sister and I were alienated at church too. The cliques were worse than anything I experienced in high school. They would make fun of us and leave us out of things. The adults even organized a children’s take over day where the all the kids would sing for the church, but they left us out. We didn’t even know about it until they all got up and preformed. It’s hard when the whole point is to have a sense of “community”.
valerie wicab you’re not helping at all. they’re being vulnerable about their sexuality and religious struggles and not being accepted for who they are by many christians. all you’re doing is telling them exactly what they heard before. i don’t know why you would respond with something like this when you knew it would hurt/offend them. religion is about love not shutting other people out for who they love. respectfully, shut up.
The irony of his humble yourself tik tok talking about how you’re not better than anyone just because you’re religious, while being super high and mighty.
it’s the fact that he sits there, pulls out the tears and the broken voice and then ends the video and probably checks it, writes the caption and uploads it omfg
imagine him saying to 'humble yourself' when his entire persona is just shaming people and acting like his beliefs are the be all end all of faith. His whole 'Holier than thou' vibe is just so pretentious.
he’s honestly really mean. like religions are supposed to be helpful all around. you shouldn’t need to guilt trip someone into salvation i’m sorry some religions work for some people but no religion works for others. i was raised christian but buddhism is what really works for me. religion is there to provide stability, not create instability and guilt
man this is hitting me on the anxiety right now. I know american preachers like to go for this high emotion type presentation but the way this dude is talking feels like we're at his mom's wake and he's about to break down at any second.
As a child who grew up in a conservative household, I would literally have panic attacks and developed extreme ptsd from all of the fear mongering involved in that religion. Now I can't even drive by a church without feeling uncomfortable. This type of fear based religion is so toxic.
I know! Like we are supposed to be based of love and all but people like him just try and push people in religion by using fear and it causes a lot of traumas and toxic behaviors. I'm sorry for everything you went through and I hope that you're feeling better now
@@fluffyycloud4356 Thank you so much. And yes, I've experienced so much trauma revolving the church that I don't ever see myself going back. I love the fundamental beliefs about the religion, but trying to scare people into following "the rules" is really abusive
DUDE IKR my parents are chill but i was at two churches for awhile one was super guilt trippy and the other didnt take anything i said seriously and tried to guilt me into thinking i didn’t have doubts because this person almost got hit by a car and then saw the light and ive never really gotten over that trauma so when people try to talk at me like that it’s panic central
I used to be a very hardcore Christian for the majority of my life. I left the church about a year ago and have been exploring all of that religious trauma ever since. It helps me a lot when I see ppl deconstruct the fear mongering and guilt tripping speeches Christians give. Thank you so much for the video! I feel less alone and less guilty
I’m a Christian and the fear mongering is wrong. If I believe that everyone who doesn’t believe is going to hell, and that the only way they can be saved is to except Jesus, then the best way for me to spread that to other people is to get to know them and live my life as an example for those around me. If they ask I’ll tell them perhaps ask them if there interested if they aren’t It isn’t my job to scare them into it.
@@Ckrost well, that’s nice of you but why do you have to write about ppl going to hell right after I wrote about my religious trauma? You know, I understand you, understand what you believe in, I used to be the same. But the whole concept of hell feels like fear mongering to me rn. I’m not trying to tell you what you should and shouldn’t think, I’m just letting you know that it hurts to be reminded of that Trauma is called trauma for a reason
@@Lisa-oo8jn yeah hell is scary but that doesn’t mean it isn’t real. The fear mongering is wrong and forcing them on to people is wrong and I’m not even approaching you to hurt your trauma, I’m simply stating how Christians should go about spreading the message because I’ll treat people with love and get to know them and not shove my religion down there throat but that doesn’t make hell any less real or scary.
I feel you. Maybe my family isn't full of hardcore christians (well, except my grandma), but I was in a religious school for like 14 years, so the feeling of fear and shame is very difficult to keep away. It sucks, but I believe sharing this trauma with other people that have gone through similar things helps lot! At least for me it makes me feel like I am not alone. Hope you better 💕
@@Sofia-wh9jr thank you so much! It does feel better when you understand you’re not alone with that. There’s is hope and there’s life without church. And we deserve to be happy. And I also wanted to say that no matter how small your circumstances might seem to you, they still influenced you enough and they are valid. Wish you all the best!
these tik toks definitely make me feel like I'm tied up in a dark, dingy basement with only a single lightbulb for light, and every day my pastor captor walks down a creaky set of stairs to fervently preach to me. every day I beg him not to speak, to leave me in silence because I'd rather be driven mad by isolation than him. but he ignores my pleas. I'm here for one thing and one thing only... to be saved from damnation. anyway it's one hell of a vibe and I don't like it
7:53 took me out 💀 And you had that impersonation and cadence down pat. As someone who grew up in the church, I couldn’t not laugh out loud during most of this. His purposeful stutter is so on brand too. I’m so confused why the perspective of his videos is primarily *just* his face and poofy hair lol.
This is absolutely Nick's best video. I was crying laughing and at most this little guy usually only gets a little piggy snort outta me. Absolute BANGER nick Great JOB
Sorry you had people do that to you broski. I hate to preach, but I’m Christian, and not all of us are like that. Some are, it’s true, but those aren’t the real kind of Christian; they’re the kind that pretend to be in order to justify bigotry. Just wanted to quick speak on my own defense.
@@aidenhoogstra8636 Exactly. It's like the Pharisees compared to Jesus. Jesus spread love to everyone: prostitutes, beggars, tax collectors, thieves, mothers, temple workers, fishermen, etc. He did that to save people and show them the light of God. Whereas the Pharisees preached to make themselves look holier and to make others feel inferior. They manipulated people for power. Christianity should never be about scaring people into acting a certain way or doing works to appease an angry god. Christianity should be about creating a relationship with your creator, who loves you so much, and walking with Him every day of your life. I'm sorry @Remy Carreiro if you've had bad experiences with other Christians, but know that Christians like that are not real Christians.
@@aidenhoogstra8636 I only experienced hate from christianity and a lot of threatening. But I'm more than aware of the loving and positive side of this religion. There are a lot of really nice and loveable christians out there and I accept your relegion just as much as I accept all other religions :) (as long as they are accepting and not hateful, obviously).
The faux-stutter, the performative lilting cadence, ran-together sentences, nose exhale laughs and unnecessary pauses 🥴 flashbacks to compulsory childhood Christianity. that clip of the “preacher kid” vid in the intro is such a great example of how this whole slam preacher speaking style is mimicked by kids raised in the church because all the leaders in your Sunday school class think you’re The Second Coming when you regurgitate the bullshit they just said to you. seems like David never grew out of that phase
i genuinely think he should get therapy. like some of these clips he doesn’t seem okay. like him being heavy into religion is one thing, but especially the clip where he goes on about how nothing matters and all of the things we own are useless and will eventually be gone. like that doesn’t seem like an okay think to regularly think about and im genuinely worried about his mental health. also the “have you ever thought about having a nail shoved into your hand, feeling it split the bone” thing was also weird asf???

@@anna_banana414 yeah the existential crisis he had about being useless is the exact same thoughts that had me having panic attacks for years before I finally got put on anxiety medication. he clearly really really needs to be put on some too
Dude either looks like he’s constantly in pain, about to have a mental breakdown, or snap and kill me every time he’s on camera. I honestly kind of feel bad for him, he just seems so sad.
David is nowhere near what the media is trying to portray him. He’s just passionate about preaching. When his friends post tiktoks about him, he is nowhere near what the media tries to portray him as
As a Mexican Catholic, after scrolling through the comments, thank you for making a comment where it doesn't describe me or my faith like an ISIS member and his interpretation of Islam
Extremely weird how he's talking about people not attending services bc of covid when my synogogue zoom services had consistently high turn outs moreso than precovid
he's kinda right though. covid forced me to take time away from the church, to step back. if I didn't have that moment to actually think about what I believed, I would still be catholic and suffering. churches are TERRIFIED because people are being given a long enough break from their theology to realize that it's harmful
it's almost like places of worship that cultivated a sense of care and community are more able to hold their members than those that people attend only out of fear... (granted i know every religion has some of both probably but this tiktok guy in particular definitely gives me "faith out of fear" vibes, which is really unfortunate)
bro honestly i’m less scared he’s gonna murder me than that he’s gonna hurt himself, especially with that nail stuff? lowkey scared for his safety but ok
Yeah I'm really worried about him tbh. A fair amount of young Christians end up being drawn to the church through the idea that suffering=holiness and the reward comes after death. Its a good incentive for people to dig deeper into their sorrow and cry out to God rather than seeking professional help.
The Catholic Church literally has smoke, lights, and action. They use a thurible, a device which emits incense smoke, they have stained glass windows, and they use things like song and ritual. These were all adopted because they attracted more followers or kept the congregation coming back. Same thing with fantastic art and architecture. Practically speaking, the church must provide something people actually want if they are gonna expect their congregations to keep coming back. Entertainment and aesthetic pleasure is part of that, although arguably the message and the activism of the church are far more substantial.
I remember as a teenager (who was raised catholic) when I realized that we do the same thing at mass as people describe as cults and being like wtf are we doing here
Wasn't a lot of the grandest Catholic art and architecture made during the time when western Europe was basically a fundamentalist religious monoculture? With Jewish communities, of course. But why would they have needed to attract followers during the medieval period? They were almost universally dominant in their regions before the Restoration, and it's not like atheism was a thing. I'm actually asking, I don't know where you're coming from and I'm curious about it
@@chasm6091 I think it's because you need to keep people coming back. Since the beginning of Christianity, churches have been playing with their ability to evoke some deep emotion and offer guidance, even to illiterate people, so that the world could be made easier to process. Also if people come often, they make more offers and the church gets richer, so a win win ahah
@@chasm6091 Actually, that wasn't the case. Several offshoots like the Cathars, the Waldensians, Albigensians, and early Irish Catholics were considered heretical by the Catholic church and were persecuted against during the medieval period. And, of course, levantine Christians and Orthodox Christians were seen as heretics as well. Also, how secular or clerical, how relaxed or devout a person or community was at any given time is difficult to say, especially as it pertains to peasant communities. We know more about the religious beliefs and practices of elites, particularly those living in urban areas, than we do for the rural poor. As much as the Catholic church wanted to be the universal and to have everyone follow their doctrine to the letter, such was not the case. The reformation movement of the 15th and 16th centuries and onward did not come from nowhere. It was building up over centuries of dissatisfaction with the Papacy and experimentation with new approaches to Christian religion. Furthermore, atheism, however fringe, did exist. We know this because theologians like William of Ockham and Thomas Aquinas made responses to people doubting God's existence or proofs that he did in fact exist. I have to admit, before I took a class of medieval history, I wouldn't have believed it either, but Papal Supremacy was not as secure as it appeared.
@@veronicajata3121 Several theologians, philosophers, and lay people questioned the Eucharist throughout history too, and there were debates and discussions regarding whether it was cannibalistic. There was a rocky road to the creation and cementing of Church canon and doctrine, and newly converted pagan communities didn't always sit well with the rules and rituals they were being asked to follow.

@@SM-yz4hi Yes, the styles can be very different, even within a denomination. It gets to the point that the style of a group is what tends to attract new converts, such as young Christians who are drawn to perky, poppy music and more casual venues. Which can be concerning, because a hip-looking church could also have really conservative and harmful beliefs. Come for the songs, get stuck with the Creationism, so to speak.

he's like a Christian theater kid that took a spoken word class once
The way this dude talks is terrifying to me because everything he says is what my depression tells me, except with a Christian twist. The aggressive loathing he throws at his audience tells me that he's trying to find people who are in a BAD mental space then make them believe that's what love feels like. It's encouraging people to enter an abusive relationship with their faith.
"Enter an abusive relationship with their faith" is the best way of describing what this guy is trying to convey, and I think this is a problem a lot of religious people experience.
i dont disagree with u tho i feel like its less about him trying manipulate his audience like this and more just. wild projecting. like this guy very clearly struggles A Lot and everything hes saying to his viewers gives a very strong impression that he may as well be talking to a mirror. he just doesnt seem to know how to cope in a healthy way, and thinks that doing that is somehow the only right way. its tragic, frankly, and its a shame that hes essentially lashing out by encouraging, like u said, an abusive relationship with their faith due to his own twisted experience. i hope he finds therapy one day
@@PaolaCarlos as a Christian person I must say that is very true, Christians most likely have abuse relationships because they follow the Bible, I don't have a problem with them following it, but staying in an abuse relationship because of it, it ain't it.
Also im kinda sick of those Christians people who force religious one others and tell me to dedicate my life to God, like leave me alone, even tho I'm Christian, I'm not gonna dedicate whole life following an old book.

He looks like he has anger problems.. I bet when hes in a relationship he constantly controls what his significant other does and constantly argues with her if she messes up a little..
This dude has problems and hes not dealing with them and using his beliefs to excuse them.. "You know God aldo created therapists.. Go to one, bro."
the joke about turning every minor experience into a chance to preach and be introspective .... that is VERY real in people who become compulsively obsessed with religion in order to cope w their faults..... my father is exactly like this like i cant have a single conversation with him without it somehow relating back to religion?!? like this is actually such a scary reality
same w my dad who is a pastor. it’s crazy bc he even believes the earth is flat and uses part of the BIBLE to confirm his theory ???? like ?? what ???
This guy saying we aren't better than r_p1sts is so invalidating to victims, and disrespectful and cruel to everyone, too. Religion is supposed to be comforting for people who turn to it, not this.

What else do you expect from a religion based off a book from 2000 years ago??? It's fucked up but that's what it says

i am australian and i can confirm that i also enjoy being comfortable and safe
Also he seems to be implying church isn’t supposed to be safe. Like… ik it’s not a “safe space” as in free from judgement (and then there’s the sexual abuse problem ofc) but don’t places of worship try to present themselves as a sort of sanctuary for at least the worshippers?

The thing that I have learned the most recently with how I view my own faith, is that fear is what drives Christians to become unwelcoming, hypocritical, and judgmental. Because the only reason why they restrict themselves from certain choices is because of fear of punishment. And then they turn that back on nonchristians... which is insane.

I’m a Christian and the fear mongering is wrong. If I believe that everyone who doesn’t believe is going to hell, and that the only way they can be saved is to except Jesus, then the best way for me to spread that to other people is to get to know them and live my life as an example for those around me.

My pastor doesn’t do the “pastor voice” which only makes listening to this guy 10x scarier cause I’m not used to it lmfao
That's how you know you have a real pastor lol
same, my pastor is really laid back, but I am also specifically Lutheran so it might be different then non denomination Christians
@@jorgem9881 As opposed to the rest of them who talk like they're on crack giving a tedx talk?
i wish i knew a pastor that didn’t do a pastor voice
Yeah, my Catholic pastors have always been quite casual so this is quiet jarring.
7:53 took me out 💀
And you had that impersonation and cadence down pat.
As someone who grew up in the church, I couldn’t not laugh out loud during most of this. His purposeful stutter is so on brand too. I’m so confused why the perspective of his videos is primarily *just* his face and poofy hair lol.
It sounds like he’s talking to a bunch of hostages he’s just kidnapped.
he speaks like he's monologuing to his arch-nemesis
“I feel like he wants me to feel worse about myself”
Welcome to the fundamentalist Christian community
666th like 🙏
Welcome to Catholicism:
Imagine seeing this guy in a park filming like this. I wouldn’t know what to do.
He seem like at any moment he'd break and go completely insane but his Jesus friendship bracelet is whats keeping him from going over the edge
😂 sorry, reminded me it summer camp
this guy watched the joker and was like “ok this is definitely it except make it Christian”
HAH
This is what would happened if the joker fell in a vat of toxic holy water instead of those other chemicals....
i read joker as jesus and i was very confused for a second 😭 like did i miss a part of the Bible where jesus fell into some chemicals or something 😭
@@anna_banana414
HAHA
@@anna_banana414 yea his mom dropped him into god juice while he was a baby thats how he became a prophet 😭
This guy seems like they’re going through a lot and have been told this all they’re life and not realized how weird it sounds
"These rocks are spiritually powerful"
David: >:/
"This water is spiritually powerful bcus i blessed it"
David: :)
David also thinks wafer cookies are literally the flesh of a dead guy bc the man in robes said so ,,,
literally
@@ItsActuallyKate i mean,, that ones just a metaphor but still pretty funny nonetheless
Literally he has the cadence of a high school drama student who’s trying their best to get the lead in the play
Why does he look like he's constantly on the verge of tears? Is he okay? Is someone pointing a gun at him and making him do this?
God aparently
This is absolutely Nick's best video. I was crying laughing and at most this little guy usually only gets a little piggy snort outta me. Absolute BANGER nick Great JOB
"It's like he wants me to feel bad for myself."
My boy, you just summed up religion better than any theologist ever has.
Sorry you had people do that to you broski. I hate to preach, but I’m Christian, and not all of us are like that. Some are, it’s true, but those aren’t the real kind of Christian; they’re the kind that pretend to be in order to justify bigotry. Just wanted to quick speak on my own defense.
@@aidenhoogstra8636 Exactly. It's like the Pharisees compared to Jesus. Jesus spread love to everyone: prostitutes, beggars, tax collectors, thieves, mothers, temple workers, fishermen, etc. He did that to save people and show them the light of God. Whereas the Pharisees preached to make themselves look holier and to make others feel inferior. They manipulated people for power. Christianity should never be about scaring people into acting a certain way or doing works to appease an angry god. Christianity should be about creating a relationship with your creator, who loves you so much, and walking with Him every day of your life. I'm sorry @Remy Carreiro if you've had bad experiences with other Christians, but know that Christians like that are not real Christians.
@@aidenhoogstra8636 I only experienced hate from christianity and a lot of threatening. But I'm more than aware of the loving and positive side of this religion. There are a lot of really nice and loveable christians out there and I accept your relegion just as much as I accept all other religions :) (as long as they are accepting and not hateful, obviously).
@@aidenhoogstra8636 respect
Can’t help but agree
The faux-stutter, the performative lilting cadence, ran-together sentences, nose exhale laughs and unnecessary pauses 🥴 flashbacks to compulsory childhood Christianity. that clip of the “preacher kid” vid in the intro is such a great example of how this whole slam preacher speaking style is mimicked by kids raised in the church because all the leaders in your Sunday school class think you’re The Second Coming when you regurgitate the bullshit they just said to you. seems like David never grew out of that phase
you just opened up a new chasm in my psyche to explore thanks lmao
Ive been following that guy for a while, the funny thing about him is that what got him heavy into religion is a bad breakup lol
I’m definitely not surprised.
Youre joking LOL
i genuinely think he should get therapy. like some of these clips he doesn’t seem okay. like him being heavy into religion is one thing, but especially the clip where he goes on about how nothing matters and all of the things we own are useless and will eventually be gone. like that doesn’t seem like an okay think to regularly think about and im genuinely worried about his mental health. also the “have you ever thought about having a nail shoved into your hand, feeling it split the bone” thing was also weird asf???
@ my ex who was also a flat earther as well as a HEAVY "Christian" who found God after a bad breakup (she had a guy already, guy beat him up for fucking with his gf soooo...)
@@anna_banana414 yeah the existential crisis he had about being useless is the exact same thoughts that had me having panic attacks for years before I finally got put on anxiety medication. he clearly really really needs to be put on some too
Dude either looks like he’s constantly in pain, about to have a mental breakdown, or snap and kill me every time he’s on camera. I honestly kind of feel bad for him, he just seems so sad.
“Wait until sex to have marriage” preach 😌🙏
My kind of church 😍
Not only did muck say that out loud, he also edited it in lmao. Honestly can’t tell if it’s irony or not
"I got into the car and god reminded me that it could break" sir that's not god, that's OCD.
Thanks for the ocd reminder. I’m not alone
Yup. Agreed.
Bro he's gonna be such an abusive pastor yikes. Also why does he have his shirt off, that ain't modest??
He’s out here trying to make his brothers and sisters in Christ stumble!!!!
David is nowhere near what the media is trying to portray him. He’s just passionate about preaching. When his friends post tiktoks about him, he is nowhere near what the media tries to portray him as
@@saigie3908 who is the media lmao? he’s representing himself as super bizarre
Modesty doesn’t apply to men unless they’re showing their dick smh
I'm not a christian but i have many christian friends and i swear none of them describe it to be as stressful as this guy makes it seem.
As a Mexican Catholic, after scrolling through the comments, thank you for making a comment where it doesn't describe me or my faith like an ISIS member and his interpretation of Islam
Extremely weird how he's talking about people not attending services bc of covid when my synogogue zoom services had consistently high turn outs moreso than precovid
he's kinda right though. covid forced me to take time away from the church, to step back. if I didn't have that moment to actually think about what I believed, I would still be catholic and suffering. churches are TERRIFIED because people are being given a long enough break from their theology to realize that it's harmful
@@CJ-iz3mp but that's more a condemnation of Christianity than it is proof that people are "straying" from religion and g-d.
it's almost like places of worship that cultivated a sense of care and community are more able to hold their members than those that people attend only out of fear... (granted i know every religion has some of both probably but this tiktok guy in particular definitely gives me "faith out of fear" vibes, which is really unfortunate)
@@ollie3258 ding ding ding!
Exactly the same with my synagogue
bro honestly i’m less scared he’s gonna murder me than that he’s gonna hurt himself, especially with that nail stuff? lowkey scared for his safety but ok
okay yeah why does he have that
@semi the man is projecting i kinda feel bad
Is he projecting? Like genuinely is he okay
Yeah I'm really worried about him tbh. A fair amount of young Christians end up being drawn to the church through the idea that suffering=holiness and the reward comes after death. Its a good incentive for people to dig deeper into their sorrow and cry out to God rather than seeking professional help.
He literally scares me sm because none of this is as deep as he believes it is, and I feel like one day he’ll just snap and it’ll be so ugly too
For as "loving" and "accepting of others" this guy tries to sell himself as, he has 100% committed a hate crime before and then cried afterwards
3:45 just sounds like anxiety and depression
"Young tiktok pastor"
Never thought those words would ever come out of my mouth in that sequence but ok.
anyone else have to watch this out of full screen because this man’s eyes were too intense???
he either just got done crying about the state of "our generation" or smoking the devil's lettuce
He makes my anxiety act up
for real every time i went full screen i had to focus on nick’s face bc this dude makes me so uncomfortable
The Catholic Church literally has smoke, lights, and action. They use a thurible, a device which emits incense smoke, they have stained glass windows, and they use things like song and ritual. These were all adopted because they attracted more followers or kept the congregation coming back. Same thing with fantastic art and architecture. Practically speaking, the church must provide something people actually want if they are gonna expect their congregations to keep coming back. Entertainment and aesthetic pleasure is part of that, although arguably the message and the activism of the church are far more substantial.
I remember as a teenager (who was raised catholic) when I realized that we do the same thing at mass as people describe as cults and being like wtf are we doing here
Wasn't a lot of the grandest Catholic art and architecture made during the time when western Europe was basically a fundamentalist religious monoculture? With Jewish communities, of course. But why would they have needed to attract followers during the medieval period? They were almost universally dominant in their regions before the Restoration, and it's not like atheism was a thing. I'm actually asking, I don't know where you're coming from and I'm curious about it
@@chasm6091 I think it's because you need to keep people coming back. Since the beginning of Christianity, churches have been playing with their ability to evoke some deep emotion and offer guidance, even to illiterate people, so that the world could be made easier to process. Also if people come often, they make more offers and the church gets richer, so a win win ahah
@@chasm6091 Actually, that wasn't the case. Several offshoots like the Cathars, the Waldensians, Albigensians, and early Irish Catholics were considered heretical by the Catholic church and were persecuted against during the medieval period. And, of course, levantine Christians and Orthodox Christians were seen as heretics as well. Also, how secular or clerical, how relaxed or devout a person or community was at any given time is difficult to say, especially as it pertains to peasant communities. We know more about the religious beliefs and practices of elites, particularly those living in urban areas, than we do for the rural poor. As much as the Catholic church wanted to be the universal and to have everyone follow their doctrine to the letter, such was not the case. The reformation movement of the 15th and 16th centuries and onward did not come from nowhere. It was building up over centuries of dissatisfaction with the Papacy and experimentation with new approaches to Christian religion. Furthermore, atheism, however fringe, did exist. We know this because theologians like William of Ockham and Thomas Aquinas made responses to people doubting God's existence or proofs that he did in fact exist. I have to admit, before I took a class of medieval history, I wouldn't have believed it either, but Papal Supremacy was not as secure as it appeared.
@@veronicajata3121 Several theologians, philosophers, and lay people questioned the Eucharist throughout history too, and there were debates and discussions regarding whether it was cannibalistic. There was a rocky road to the creation and cementing of Church canon and doctrine, and newly converted pagan communities didn't always sit well with the rules and rituals they were being asked to follow.
it seems like hes saying everything that he thinks about himself. this genuinely is really sad. i hope he gets the help he needs soon.
