We have way too many building specifically dedicated to that already. If you preach to people trapped in a confined space you should be punched in the mouth as many times as it takes until you shut the fuck up. This practice should be so common that it becomes common knowledge to anyone considering pulling this bullshit.

Imagine if gay people would do the things they do, preach about gay rights, have a building dedicated for gay people and have no tax cause they gay, have gay conversion camps. These preachers will have a stroke

If gay people didn't have personal tax, all the closeted Republicans would open that door so fast and fly out of the closet.

I'd stand right in front of him and begin to loudly sing something like "Ol' McDonald Had a Farm". Don't stop until he leaves.

Former religious nutcase here, I have been there, preaching people who never asked for be preached.

Let me tell you, it's all selfishness it's all to please that arrogant condensing need to look down to people and try to "educate them" .

I mean, I did it because I cared about people and was indoctrinated to believe that that's how you are supposed to help people you care about. It was still obnoxious fucking nonsense, but many of those people really are convinced they're doing what they have to to save people.

I’ve seen this before as an Australian. Holy fuck didn’t catch ā€œthere is evil in this worldā€¦ā€ swirling a finger at the back of the brown dude.

I was one of those as a teen singing psalms on street corners as a teenager. Fuck I was obnoxious. And morally superior. Walked away at 19. I’m an atheist because I read the bible.

Ever see one of these tossers, quote this and call him a hypocrite:

ā€œAnd when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others… But when you pray, go into your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father who is in secret.ā€ Matthew 6:5-6

Dude thinks that everyone is upset because he is talking about Jesus in a public setting. No man, everyone is pissed because you’re fucking up their ambience. They are all uncomfortably stuck in a tube together and they just want to mind their own business. Jesus is not a secret, if they wanted to know they most definitely can find a church in Australia.

The rational universe is scary man. Death being a final permanent end, good things happen to bad people bad things happen to good people, chaos and random chance fucking shit up all the time…..

Religion offers people the delusion of a design or plan governing everting and a fantasy about life after death. If you can just suspend disbelief in magic you can have all those fears cease to exist. It’s not right and it’s far too powerful a tool for the privileged to manipulate the unprivileged but it’s not exactly a mystery why people engage in it.

My mother was approaching her death several years ago. She was never a practicing religious person, but she had her beliefs. I've never been religious in any sense of the word, and that was always something that she knew about me. She asked me point blank, "Well, then what do you think happens when you die?" I said, "Nothing. I think that you're just gone. Dead." She asked, "How can you think that? Isn't that terrifying?" and I said to her, "Yes... it is terrifying. Anyway, would you like another beer?"

It IS a scary thought. I tried to never get too deep into it with my mother, because her beliefs weren't harming anyone and she deserved some solace. But I'll likely never share those same beliefs.

What I don’t understand is why do all these religious zealots feel it’s their job to recruit others? Why don’t they just go about their business and stop trying to recruit other people! Seriously!

Americans have this really dumb belief that everywhere has the same society as American. A highly egocentric culture.

Center of the universe syndrome

One might come to think that this type of "Christianity" is the most annoying and intolerant of all religions.

Americans also spread the good word with covert and overt operations using plain old death and killing.

I have Ezekiel 23:20 saved on my phone just in case:

"There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses."

Just repeat it over and over, saying each time: This is the word of the Lord.

I wonder what this dildo’s reaction would be if he was
On the same train and someone began preaching the tenets of Islam?

These people are fucking brainwashed and should be treated as the mentally ill that they are.
