Zack Sharf “Why are they coming after me?” Chris Pratt recently asked in a new Men’s Health magazine profile. The “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “Jurassic World” star was referring to social media users who continue to troll his every move.

Pratt connected the hatred he gets on social media to a public misconception about his religious beliefs, which he claims dates back to a speech he gave at the 2018 MTV Movie & TV Awards.Pratt received the award ceremony’s life achievement honor, titled the Generation Award, and said the following line in his acceptance speech: “God is real.

God loves you. God wants the best for you.”“I didn’t know that I would kind of become the face of religion when really I’m not a religious person,” Pratt told Men’s Health. “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.
