\u201cGuardians of the Galaxy\u201d star Chris Pratt\u2019s faith has been a topic of discussion in the media. While the actor has openly talked about God, he hasn\u2019t always been as blunt about the critiques and heat he takes because of his biblical beliefs and proclamations.<\/p>\n

However, at a recent Cinema Society screening of \u201cGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,\u201d Pratt spoke about the issue, telling Page Six that his criticisms due to his faith aren\u2019t new. He said, \u201cThat\u2019s nothing new, that\u2019s nothing new, you know. If I was of this world, they would love me just like that, but, as it is, I\u2019ve chosen out of this world. That\u2019s John 15:18-20.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pratt continued, \u201cThat\u2019s the way it is, nothing new \u2014 2,000 years ago, they hated Jesus, too.\u201d He told Page Six he deals with critics by pushing forward and having a thick skin, saying, \u201cOh, just how you deal with anything. Like a rhino, stick your head down; you keep driving forward, you have thick skin.\u201d His latest faith comments come after he appeared on Drew Barrymore\u2019s talk show and gave further insight into his faith journey.<\/p>\n

The \u201dJurassic World\u201d star told Barrymore about how he met his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, at church and shared a Bible verse during his appearance. He said, \u201cMy own journey, finding a higher power and leaning on that and being like, \u2018Please save me,\u2019 and then feeling saved, and then shortly later finding the woman of my dreams.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Pratt\u00a0also made headlines\u00a0for an Instagram post pointing back to a viral\u00a02018 speech\u00a0he delivered at the MTV Movie & TV Awards, during which he spoke of God\u2019s love for humanity.<\/p>\n
