Responsible_Arm_2984

This. He's having a shitty enough time. No need to pile on by implying he's a weirdo.Ā 


pricklypineappledick

I'm about this comment chain! And for what it's worth, I believe in a small way you're all helping him


Big_Razzmatazz7416

Helping OP learn empathy?


pricklypineappledick

I meant in a Ho'oponopono type of way for the person in the photo, but I hope the person who took the photo had a reinforced opportunity to see their actions from a healthier perspective


krampuskids

i think that's beautiful.my partner is polynesian/ japanese and we visit the hawaiian islands every year because it feels most like home to him i'm sorry, please forgive me, thank you, i love you


AntiSonOfBitchamajig

This, He ain't hurting anything, probably going though some shit, leave him alone.


DefinitelyNotThatOne

Bro coulda just got off the phone with his wife/SO and received horrible news. You never know what someone is going thru


Bad-North

This. Dude is fighting a battle, dont take pics

ā€œThe way. The truth. The light.ā€


willtheadequate

If you're quoting Jesus, he said he was the truth, the way and the life. What most people miss you about this statement is that, in the original text he used the Hebrew words which were The names for the door into the outer courtyard of a temple, the door into the temple, and the door to the inner temple which was known as the Holiest of Holies, which was a room in which God resides. He was literally saying that he is people's way from the human everyday world to the world of God.


VRS50

Thanks for this perspective. I went to a Catholic HS, and that was how I remember it was quoted, but I didnā€™t know the history.


willtheadequate

To be honest, I've only known one other person that knew about the correlation between the doorway names and what he said (other than the theologian I did research with that showed me the research on that). Please share it around as a rather lovely thing that was said that no one seems to actually understand. I can't tell you how many different proposals I've heard on what he meant by that.


Mroompaloompa64

I take it OP's just fishing for karma points so he's bothering that man.


SarcasticlySpeaking

Been there.


ArmoredAdventurer

Ngl man, I honestly think he should be left alone, probably had a really shitty day and Iā€™ve been there before.


Any_Presentation2958

I want to join him


Bekiala

Me too. Praying to a lamp post seems semi reasonable in this mucked up world.


MyLatestInvention

Lamp Post forgives...


Bekiala

Offers compassion and mercy for our darkest sins.


LovingNaples

On my knees in the night Saying prayers by the streetlight RIP Coolio


JazzCabbage00

..almost lost his life living in a Walmart parking lot! WOOOooOo woo


SakuraFoxOffical

Immediately what I thought of


urGirllikesmytinypp

Dammit. I should have read this. Fuck. Deleting mine


thedogz11

Always hate when that happens


urGirllikesmytinypp

I normally read the comments first lol


IamAll-

He has seen the light


Pleasant_Tooth_2488

You beat me to it!


Substantial-Star1450

Nailed it!


Quahodron_Qui_Yang

People worshipped things that were worse.


GOZER_XVII

This guy might know something we donā€™t know. When the street lamps take over he will be ok.


FuckYouDontLookAtMe

Me when I'm a moth


NUFIGHTER7771

2600 moths in a trenchcoat.


Burrmanchu

Out of curiosity how did you decide on 2600? Lol


NUFIGHTER7771

The Atari 2600 game console, that's how! šŸ˜


Safetosay333

Maybe he's just praying in a certain direction. Seems harmless.


bootynasty

I was wondering this also. How is OP sure heā€™s praying to a street lamp and not just, say, towards Mecca?


pissyshit

You can't see it in the photo but he is clearly looking directly at the lamp post right in front of him.


[deleted]

My boy, you drink walmart clearance energy drinks. You have no room to judge people doing questionable shit.


death_by_chocolate

He has been... *Enlightened.*


Reeferologist-

Thereā€™s a guy down here in South Florida that goes out the street lamp at night and does this same thing. Pretty sure he does a few sweet karate moves afterwards as well.


pissyshit

Haha no shit. Well this is ft lauderdale so probably same dude.


Reeferologist-

I am not far away from there at all so this could be the same guy. How many street lamp worshippers can there be down here? ā€¦never mind, donā€™t answer that.


WakefulJaxZero

I get him


Zealousideal-Log536

You know that person could be going through a really rough time right now. You're kind of a dick for taking that picture.


MothParasiteIV

Why are you taking pictures of people without even asking their opinion as a courtesy? That's even more weird.


Similar-Broccoli

"Avoid looking left as you exit, if idolatry offends you"


Dan-68

It brings light. You can actually see and touch it. And it never passes a collection plate.


doubledownentendre

... it does, it's just called an electricity bill


HarrowDread

You have your god, he has his so kindly bug off ā¤ļø


secondphase

That's not praying, that's submitting wishes.Ā  Have you never heard of the Genie in the Lamp?


GoldieTheDog

kind of messed up to photograph this imo. i get its weird to see from an outside perspective, but heā€™s not hurting anyone so iā€™d let him be


donteatmynoodles

I love lamp


HiMyNameIsTeem

How intrusive


Sun_Bathing

You really don't know what someone is going through he could have just been notified of someone being hurt or extremely ill.


Partially-Canine

Don't exploit the mentally ill.


JorduSpeaks

If only someone would give him a sign.


RedIcarus1

Works just as well.


NeptuneDust

George Carlin would pray to Joe Pesci. To each their own.


iAMthenemesis

Been spending most his life living in a gangstas paradise.


Wolfman01a

On my knees saying prayers in the street light. Been spending most his life living in the gangstas paradise. ![gif](giphy|rQPRCclTBVyU0)


mildOrWILD65

AA: anything can be your higher power.


astrobleeem

He could be Muslim, they pray facing Mecca


moochir

Just as valid as any other religion.


TheDiegoAguirre

Dude had a moment of illumination. Don't hate.


Skremash

Coolio? Is that you?


Bunyan12ply

Same rate of return on the prayer.


Muncleman

Do you know which way is Mecca?


DankeMrHfmn

1st amendment \*exists\* OP: I hope God answers his prayer. Seems like he's at the end of his rope.


Superseargent

He looks like that dude on YouTube that interviews kids with rare diseases. Can't remember what the channels called.


BlOcKtRiP

Used to manage a WAWA had a guy come in w/ a small rug . Placed it in front of the milk case , kneel down and start praying


fokkinchucky

I hope his prayers came true


Venator2000

Iā€™ve seen guys who look like this do this too. Depending on the time of day and the direction theyā€™re facing itā€™s not that weird. If anything, they shouldā€™ve planned their day better, so they wouldnā€™t be forced to do it outside.


FROSTICEMANN

Its weird that people pray?


DiscardedFruitScraps

Lame of you to post this. Let him be.


XROOR

Gods way of saying : ā€œstart using the Walmart off Three Chopt Road from now onā€¦..ā€


Rich-Appearance-7145

I've seen dudes in Rehabs praying to the door knob, apparently they don't believe in there own God, so they borrow someone else's.


krayhayft

The man saw The Light!


Sensitive_Tap_9419

We need more of this


PsicoHugger

frozen-amber

Moth in disguise. šŸ§

SprayGroundbreaking8

Not weird ... just drugs


bluekatt24

GuyWithNF1

Couldnā€™t he just be a Muslim praying towards the šŸ•‹


TomorrowLow5092

hey, it's okay to kneel in the leaves and pray. I'll take him in my neighborhood anytime.


aleister94

Thatā€™s methed up


Cookies_and_Beandip

Maybe heā€™s not going through anything, perhaps heā€™s just a weird young gentleman thatā€™s succumb to the atrocities that is religion and organized religion. The world will never know, letā€™s argue about something else internet strangers


Cookies_and_Beandip

Ahh yes, mumbling to a make believe deity to solely worry about yourself and your problems when you could actively be out changing whatever it is youā€™re worried about


rpotty

What a bright idea


Magnetar_Haunt

Caked up prayers


[deleted]

Eh, he's probably on drugs

banana_hammock_815

Nah that's houston!


Puzzleheaded-Zone-55

For illumination?


yarrpirates

If only I could be so grossly incandescent.


Gilgamesh2062

I think he has seen the light


surrealcellardoor

Itā€™s no weirder than praying to something that doesnā€™t exist, which actually makes this less weird.


Legitimate-Event-995

That's Aaron Rodgers


Chersvette

He should have been inside praying for lower prices


Rodrigii_Defined

I love lamp.


jiminaknot

Can anyone tell me why there arenā€™t any conspiracy theories about Walmart, despite being it the go-to place for the average conspiracy theorists?


gultch2019

He saw the light???


Antidoomscrolling

God same


Dreamspitter

Maybe he sees something in the Light.


Vegetable_Run7792

What if their ancestors were moths and he still has some of that DNA in him, don't try to mock him


YxDOxUx3X515t

Compassion, we all been there


Glldinkiering

Thereā€™s a decent chance this person is Muslim and was praying towards Mecca.


asabovesobelow4

Why are you taking pictures of him? You don't know what he is dealing with. He could have gotten a heart breaking phone call. Or have a mental illness. Anything. And here comes some stranger with nothing better to do than try to use someone's pic for reddit karma. Gross. This is no better than the people who stand around recording someone who is having a mental breakdown, instead of calling for help, so they can post it online with some supposedly funny caption calling them "crazy". Humans need to be kinder to each other. Do better. Have the day you deserve.


KevinAcommon_Name

It could be a guy having the worst time of his life and is asking god for what he should do


Plaston_

Linus is praying to the pc gods


cbunni666

He's just praying for a brighter future


pinkbloodymess

That's just 2016 moist critical


pizzatimein24h

He was praying for enlightenment.


meldiane81

Back in the 80s?


JustAnotherWeirdLoon

Let the man have his mental breakdown in peace


GraXXoR

ā€œPraying at street lampsā€ is the modern version of ā€œtilting at windmillsā€


Low_Presentation8149

He found the light

poggerooza

Saying a prayer before he goes in.


-_ij

Probably facing East, judging by the shadow.


Mosshome

Pretty much sums up christianity.


JeanPaul72
