"Jurassic World" actor Chris Pratt accepted an award at the Teen Choice Awards Sunday where he again unashamedly spoke about his love for God.
"I'm so thrilled to be here. ... I want to thank God. I always do that when I'm up on a big platform in front of a bunch of young faces. I say, 'I love God!' That's my thing, I love Him and you should too!" Pratt declared while accepting the "Choice Summer Movie Actor" award for "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" along with his co-star Bryce Dallas Howard.
Earlier this year, Pratt made a similar declaration with a speech that went viral after accepting the "2018 Generation Award" at the MTV Awards in June.
The Hollywood actor also shared his "Nine Rules for Life" during MTV's awards show. Below are six of his nine points of advice:
1. You have a soul. Be careful with it.
2. If you're strong, be a protector. If you're smart, be a humble influencer. Strength and intelligence can be weapons, so do not wield them against the weak. That makes you a bully. Be bigger than that.
3. It doesn't matter what it is. Earn it. A good deed. Reach out to someone in pain. Be of service. It feels good and it's good for your soul.
4. God is real. God loves you. God wants the best for you. Believe that, I do.
5. Learn to pray. It's easy, and it is so good for your soul.
6. Nobody is perfect. People will tell you that you are perfect just the way that you are; you are not! You are imperfect. You always will be. But there is a powerful force that designed you that way, and if you are willing to accept that, you will have grace. And grace is a gift. Like the freedom that we enjoy in this country, that grace was paid for with somebody else's blood. Do not forget that. Don't take that for granted.
Throughout his career, the "Avengers: Infinity War" star has been vocal about his Christian faith. He skyrocketed into fame in 2014 with leading roles in "Guardians of the Galaxy," "Jurassic Park" and "The Lego Movie."
He also likes the director James Gunn the pedophile.
Christ Himself loves the sinner but hates the sin.
I’m impressed! Pratt might be one of the good guys.
Wise words.
Well said Laz.
Yeah, but allegedly he defended the nasty director....
....and wants him returned to his position
I would love to know hes a good guy.....I really would
...but maybe I know too much minutiae.....
He recently left his marriage.....wife and small child..(maybe 2 sides to this story)
....and is now dating Arnold Swartzeneggars Daughter
But if he is defending that director, thats a bridge too far
RE: He recently left his marriage.....wife and small child..(maybe 2 sides to this story)
Who initiated the divorce? Was it caused by infidelity?
RE: He also likes the director James Gunn the pedophile.
Is it ESTABLISHED FACT that Gunn is a pedophile? Or did he make an insensitive joke about it?
If he is proven to be a pedophile, he ought to be arrested. Why is he still free?
I was sorry to hear that he and his wife Anna Faris are getting divorced, they have a small child. Maybe they can patch things up.
Well, I still dislike him. I know its a sin for me to hate people, even if they ARE low life pedophile-supporting skunks. I guess that’ll be -yet another- of my sins I needed a redeemer for!
My daughter said when I was baptized they shoulda held me under till bubbles came up. Get me thoroughly soaked.
“Is it ESTABLISHED FACT that Gunn is a pedophile? Or did he make an insensitive joke about it?”
Nobody has proof that he nailed some specific little boy or girl. But it wasn’t one insensitive joke. It is a long pattern of utterly depraved jokes about it. Last weekend pics came out of him attending a pedohilia themed Hollywood party dressed as a sicko priest, surrounded by other sickos dressed as kids.
It’s a long long habit with the guy. It’s enough to shun him and call him a pedophile. He clearly shows a fascination with underage kids sexually. As Alex Jones pointed out, the literal -definition- of pedophila is being sexual attraction to kids. It does not require an act which has other names like rape.
I feel comfortable calling the guy a pedophile.
And it makes you wonder, if he thinks that way, what kind of propaganda does he slip into his films?
Im sure you dont want to dive into Gunns cesspool....
....but his direct quotes/tweets are easily found......I think Breitbart and others were running them....
....and they are dark, evil, sick and vile....
....no mere joke
Christianity is dying today because most Christians have no love, no grace. We all sound like Pharisee's spouting rules that were broken forgetting Jesus took care of that on the cross. God is looking for faith. If you have faith, you will not sin, but if you do sin, He gives you grace if you repent. David committed more sins that most, yet he was a man after God's own heart.
Jesus told us to get the beam out of our own eye before worrying about your neighbor's speck. If we look to others like we are pious hypocrites, will that attract people to Jesus? A quiet, loving, caring, person of grace looks more like Jesus and will attract lost people that need help. If Gunn is a sickie, his sin will be found out. Call me when he is arrested and convicted.
I dont dispute a single word you say.....
.....but if he is a changed man, why did they fire him?
There are photos of him at a pedophile themed party.
Why is Bill Clinton still free is also another question.
One tweet read: I like when little boys touch me in my silly place.
Does that sound like something a normal person would tweet? Would a normal person even have the thought pattern to come up with something like this? This is one tweet out of very many.
wife had an affair and got permanently with the guy 2 months after separation. Chris only started dating this past month or so...
They fire everybody today at the drop of a hat. Just a rumor in the film industry will loose millions at the box office. Just a rumor of Trump saying the "N" word and they are going nuts. Anyone even accused of sating crude things to a woman gets the hashtag people going.
I don't know this guy at all, but I do know there are some crazy people out there. What I'm saying is don't just get drawn in to the flow of crap coming from the media today. Where are the accusers of this guy? If you troll Twitter an hour you see all kinds of crude jokes there that they would never say in person. There are threats of murder every day from people that don't even own a gun.
I do agree that they are wacko's that probably shouldn't be making millions of dollars in film, but the money people figure he can make them more millions with Guardians of the Galaxy 3-4-5-6. There are people losing their jobs every day all over the country from tweets and Facebook entries from 10 years ago that come to the surface.
If you want a Biblical reference, Joseph was put in prison for Potiphar's wife's' lies. Why was Jesus put on the cross? Was He guilty of anything? I just hate to see anyone railroaded with no proof. When a child comes forward with proof, I will apologize.
Are you familiar with the black students that have come forward with accusations of burning crosses, racist graffiti on walls and such? So far there has not been ONE case that wasn't the accuser doing it for publicity.
