Street preachers
Why? If they want to preach the word of their God, perhaps they could do it a little more quietly and not do it whilst I'm trying to enjoy a quiet cinnamon frappemochalatte?

On a more serious note though- they couldn't be more offputting for a religion doing what they're doing. Perhaps they should get into a soup kitchen and do something properly worthwhile and helping people for a change? Maybe demonstrating some of the more worthwhile tenets of their religion?

That's not what God's told them to do though
They only listen to one master.

You're starting
to sound like one of those militant atheists there.

I always get the impression that the one they're trying to convince the most is themselves.

They rely on people walking past them and not listening.
If you stand directly opposite them and listen to what they're saying, and ask awkward questions when what they're saying doesn't make sense, they can't fuck off fast enough. Of course, it helps that I probably know the Bible better than they do, and that I'm a completely pedantic bastard when it comes to points of logic.

Hmmm
If I encounter one over the weekend, I think I might have a bit of fun with them. The bit about selling your children if you go into debt should be fun.

Or stoning your child to death if he's rebellious. Anything along those lines really.

Not wearing garments made of two different cloths is my favourite

Their only good album was 'The Holy Bible'.

Not going to throw the first stone
For some reason this has always appealed to me. When on the tube, and it's packed to the roof, and people just can't get away, I just want to speak up in this loud and clear preacher's voice, and summon everybody to repent their sins, of which of course I know everything for I am in league with the omniscient prosecuter up in the heavens. This has nothing to do with religious beliefs. It just seems like fun.

Missing the point ...
The reason loons and cultists make dicks of themselves in public is precisely to alienate themselves further from general humanity, in order to reinforce their sense of persecution/uniqueness. In particular that's why cults stick their novices out on the streets. Nothing like a few days of public ridicule and contempt to get you clinging to your creepy new "family".
