The Religion and Political Views of Chris Pratt

There’s an illusion of that we’ve gotten more partisan, but the truth, if you’re looking at it from my understanding, is there’s a very small group of wackos on the right and a very small group of wackos on the left. […] Each of them are sort of echoed through mainstream media — whether it be Fox or whether it be CNN — and a lot of times there’s political posturing, to try to get onto Fox, or try to get onto MSNBC or CNN.

Religion has been oppressive as f*ck for a long time. I didn’t know that I would kind of become the face of religion when really I’m not a religious person. I think there’s a distinction between being religious — adhering to the customs created by man, oftentimes appropriating the awe reserved for who I believe is a very real God — and using it to control people, to take money from people, to abuse children, to steal land, to justify hatred. Whatever it is. The evil that’s in the heart of every single man has glommed onto the back of religion and come along for the ride. […] I never went to Hillsong. I’ve never actually been to Hillsong. I don’t know anyone from that church.

Feed Thy Neighbor Due to Covid-19 and these damn nationwide shut downs, people aren’t working. 1 in 4 American Children may not know where their next meal is coming from. 25% of our kids!!! Let that sink in. The need is real. People are in pain. Right now I’m matching your donations up to $100k. This is all leading up to a big ol star studded New Years Eve Instagramathon. Celebrity guests and entertainment. Let’s do something good damnit! I’ll take corporate sponsors by the way. DM me!! As little as $1 helps (and gets you a chance to be one of six lucky folks who get to meet me on a private zoom Dec 30th) Details in link... I’ll take anything. Let’s prove to everybody that we come together in times of need. 1 John 3:18 - My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

My faith is important to me, but no church defines me or my life, and I am not a spokesperson for any church or any group of people. My values define who I am. We need less hate in this world, not more. I am a man who believes that everyone is entitled to love who they want free from the judgment of their fellow man.

It has recently been suggested that I belong to a church which ‘hates a certain group of people’ and is ‘infamously anti-LGBTQ.’ Nothing could be further from the truth, I go to a church that opens their doors to absolutely everyone. Despite what the Bible says about divorce, my church community was there for me every stop of the way, never judging, just gracefully accompanying me on my walk. They helped me tremendously offering love and support. It is what I have seen them do for others on countless occasions regardless of sexual orientation, race or gender.

Gotta stand with Hugh on this one. Rigged is rigged. We’re a democracy. Let Americans vote. #Gerrymandering is cheating. Democrats do it. Republicans do it. It needs to stop. If you can’t win without gerrymandering you lose. #DontBeATurd Thank you for your continued service Hugh.

God is real. God loves you. God wants the best for you, believe that. I do. Learn to pray, it is easy and it is good for your soul… You are imperfect, you always will be. But, there is a powerful force that designed you that way. If you are willing to accept that you will have grace.

I would not be here with the ease and grace I have in my heart without my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

I don’t see personal stories that necessarily resonate with me, because they’re not my stories. I think there’s room for me to tell mine, and probably an audience that would be hungry for them. The voice of the average, blue-collar American isn’t necessarily represented in Hollywood. […] I was at church last night, and the pastor said, ‘You want more friends? Be friendly.’ I really feel there’s common ground out there that’s missed because we focus on the things that separate us. You’re either the red state or the blue state, the left or the right. Not everything is politics. And maybe that’s something I’d want to help bridge, because I don’t feel represented by either side. I do feel like I relate to everybody—to the struggles of people both out here and where I grew up. I feel like I could have a beer or a meal with just about anyone and find something to relate to.
