So I was walking to class and a man yelled at me, "You are going to hell!"
Edited on Fri Feb-02-07 05:24 PM by ikhor
.....because I flipped him off at close range while walking to my next class.

What is it with these evangelical preacher guys that love to come to college campuses and stand in a crowded square yelling at people?
This guy was giving out all kinds of reasons why the students were going to hell, with great emphasis on masturbation and homosexuality. These people apparently aren't satisfied with the 50+ christian organizations they have on campus, so they have to make sure they harrass students as they walk to class too.

edit: just wanted to say that i am not against christianity in general, just idiot evangelicals who preach hate

2. Projection.
These folks are so filled with misplaced guilt and shame and all that other yucky emotional stuff that is the only thing they can do to feel better.

6. Because those with no power want nothing more than to punish
Punish everyone who never let them drive the bus
Punish everyone who enjoyed themselves while they were flaggelating themselves
Punish everyone who benefited where he didn't

He's no different than the Imams who want us dead in Afghanistan

You see, he is in hell right now. And he deserves every minute of his hell, may he rot

9. An asshole like that once told me he was going to pray for something to happen...
that would "jolt me back to Jesus". He said maybe it would be something that would happen to my infant. I told him that was about the most unchristian thing I'd ever heard anybody say, and suggested he get help for his sick, twisted mind.

I went home and told my husband about it; and he stormed out of the house saying he was going to find the sonofabitch and tell him that Jesus told my husband to punch the bastard in the nose.

12. Some freak did something like that to me
I was on my way home from LeftyKid's well baby visit, he was only a few months old then, and I didn't take the guy's Chick tract. He starts screaming about how The Lawd gave me my baby and the Lawd can take him away and pretty much saying that God would kill my kid to punish me for not taking tracts from weirdos in the light rail parking lot.

16. You know, its probably a good thing it didn't happen to me
I would have given the guy a funny walk for the rest of his life.

But then, I'm not exactly a Christian :)

Presumably for exactly that reason. ;)

34. I had the baby with me and there was a cop not ten feet away
Two facts for which that creep ought to profusely thank his imaginary friend.

10. I'm going to have you give you a little assignment
1. Get in another shouting match with this guy.

2. Wait until you're getting attention.

3. Yell, as loudly and angrily as you can "I told you to stay away from my little bother, you freak! He's only 15!"

4. Wink and walk away.

11. Improve their place in Heaven
I think most of these people beleive their place in heaven is dependent upon how many converts they get. The Jesus sent forth his disciples to spread the word, and so to be like them they must to, etc.

Fortunatly peope who are selling stuff or trying to evangelize etc. seem to avoid me. Though I can't really explain to you how you can do likewise.

14. One of my favorite songs addresses just that
"Dose", by Filter

-----------------------------------------------
I believe in something else
now go bother someone else
stick your fingers in your book
take a better second look
you crook
I hate it when you breach my space
and I hate it when you preach your case
and you should go down
down
save someone else
I think I should warn you
I think I should tell
what you've been doing
it makes you go to hell
I hate it when you preach your case
it makes me want to stick my d*ck in your face
and you should go down
down
save someone else
can your preacher bring me down?
oh, that's what i thought
I hate it when you breach my space
and I hate it when you preach your case
and you should go down
down
save someone else
-------------------------------------------------

Pretty much says it all...

All the people I know are gonna be there anyway. Besides, why would I want to go to heaven if it's gonna filled with fundie assholes?

Obligatory Religious Joke:

A. A Methodist will wave to you in the liquor store.

That is, piss people off into assaulting them, then sue.
