you just answered your own question.    And his beliefs are the clownish and insane.   He's young and stupid and putting his foot in his mouth on social media.

You do that daily but nobody holds it against you.

fair enough, no lies detected.

AJ needs that old wise man advice: Never predict the end of the world.  You're almost certainly going to be wrong, and if you're right, no one will be around to congratulate you.

[JeffS17]

On a serious note, pretty disappointing to read a lot of this stuff, and it will make me much less upset if he were to get traded.  It's almost impossible for this to not affect locker room dynamics when a guy thinks Beyonce is the devil cus he gets a boner watching her perform.

this 100%.  There's no room for religious nutjobs in a functioning locker room.

He seems like a nice kid, but damn, if any of my coworkers were posting stuff like that or anything it would make the environment hella awkward.

Who wants to work alongside people you know are judging tf out of you in a negative way?

Last statement is just conjecture, but how often are people who are this vocal about their pretty out-there beliefs really going to let other people live their lives without being judgy? 

If we gotta trade AJ to get Siakam, pull that trigger - we good on offense at this point even though I wanted to see mans blossom into another ATL star

I'm not jumping the gun with being okay with trading him because of this.  As long as it does not permeate the locker room and cause any issue, which by all accounts, it has not since there has been no mention of any of this during the season.  He has been quoting scripture all year.  He's 19 finding his own path, he'll have missteps along the way - he just has to learn from them whatever they are.

Funny this is a moment where we benefit from the media largely ignoring us. 

[Q45T]

Well damn. There’s nothing wrong wit being religious but slim is clearly fanatical and is crashing out… reminds me of an ex-gf who I left for obvious reasons. Hope this doesn’t affect our already fragile locker room if we hold onto him.

Maybe this is Masai attempting to play chess.  He has people hacking into opposing players’ social media accounts.

He learned pretty quickly which is why he took down that Beyonce tweet...lol

It's really anyone who presses their standards onto everyone around them. There are guys who push their political views, religious views, recreational drug views, etc. onto everyone else without regard for how others may think or feel about the situation. The only segment that tends to get called out will be the more religious extremist views. But it will create locker room issues if it is a deeply felt conviction that is thrown about regularly.

[Spud2nique]

I don’t care if he’s super religious or an atheist. Just keep that in the background and in your private life.

He’s 19, he’s gonna make mistakes and say stupid stuff, people 2.5 times his age do it all the time.

He’s 19, and he just lost his nephew.

Y'all would rather have him in Magic City making it rain with a face full of ass? Let's stop clutching pearls lol

Actually yes, Id rather that scenario then him hoping for the rapture and being a religious nut job.

This has only caught wind because of Beyonce. Dude's been tweeting like this forever. Wake me up when he starts telling people to not get vaccinated. Complete non-issue.

Well, yeah, 99% of his tweets are just quoting scripture... that's not interesting to anyone.  Of course the one where he says going to a Beyonce concert is "promoting Satan" is going to garner attention.  His tweets almost never pass judgement on other people like that.
