Chris Pratt’s openness about his Christian faith has increasingly resulted in him becoming a target of criticism and derision. In just the last week alone, Pratt has felt compelled to defend his faith-inspired actions twice. In an Instagram post earlier this week, Pratt responded to actress Ellen Paige’s claim that he attends an “infamously anti-LGBTQ” church. “Nothing could be further from the truth,” Pratt wrote in defense of his church, Hillsong. Just a few days earlier, Pratt explained why he went on a Bible-inspired diet that resulted in harsh mockery online.
“Hi, Chris Pratt here. Day three of the Daniel Fast, check it out. It’s 21 days of prayer and fasting,” Pratt wrote in a Instagram post in January, referencing a diet “based on the fasting experiences” of Old Testament Prophet Daniel. “It’s going to coincide also, coincidentally, with the ‘Lego Movie 2′ junket. So, by the time you see me, I’ll probably be hallucinating,” joked Pratt. “Stay tuned.”
