At the airport, STAYs noticed Changbin was wearing his infamous and provocative T.Rex and Statue of Liberty T-shirt (again). Meanwhile, Felix was captured taking a large Bible out of his Louis Vuitton bag. STAYs laughed at the hilarious differences between the two.

Some STAYs also laughed at the size of the Bible. Some suggested he could get a smaller travel size or use the Bible app.
THE BIBLE?! FELIX?!! 😭😭
I see people telling him to get a smaller bible but I honestly think that's a study bible, like a bible and a note book in one? 😭
I mean he could just get a note book and a smaller bible but…. Ig it's alright lol pic.twitter.com/ecYy4Rz2W9— Isa bang 🐺✨ (@isaloverofchan) June 10, 2024

Yet, some netizens were more negative than others. Some even claimed they were unstanning or switching biases now that they know Felix is a Christian.
More STAYs defended Felix than criticized him, though. Many thought it was absurd to unstan him, considering he has been a known and longtime practicing Catholic.
6/8 Stray Kids members are Christians or Catholics, that's a new for absolutely no one but STAYs are shocked to see Felix reading the Bible ???? 😭
use your brain, that's his religion and his faith like????leave him alone and let him breathe idk 👁️👄👁️

Its valid to not follow religions due ur personal experience or trauma but u cant project it on felix who has never remotely tried to enforce his beliefs on us. the way some of you have interpreted him holding a bible.. been making entirely new narratives around him is concerning

People of various backgrounds, with different religious beliefs, etc., called out those who hated on Felix. They pointed out that he has never attempted to convert others or push an agenda. Instead, he has been loving and accepting of everyone.
I'm actually …
Felix is so open about his religion with us.
He prays for his fans on bubble. He prays before eating. And "on to the next bias" And a "deal breaker" Just because you saw him holding a bible. Never thought I'd see a day kpop stans hate on an idol for this pic.twitter.com/fq7BYMoNnW— Eun Lee 🍉 (@c0llixi0n) June 12, 2024
i’m not religious by any means but unstanning bc felix reads the bible is so stupid, why can’t we just respect others’ religions

Felix, the man who models women’s clothing, recommends same-sex love series, called another man his ideal type, tried to bring a pride flag on stage, has shown his support so many times…

Many also commended Felix. They noticed his Bible was large because it was intended for studying, and fellow Christians admired him for it.
The fact that it’s a study bible not just a regular one shows how much Felix wants to understand and learn 🥺 pic.twitter.com/4BCHDH3NCB

Felix having a study Bible makes me cry, I imagine him doing notes in there or having a Bible journal 🩷 pic.twitter.com/KX9PA1KojY

Everyone has the right to their personal beliefs, and he has never been one to force his on others.
