“A marriage shall be considered valid only if the wife is a virgin. If the wife is not a virgin, she shall be executed.”
- Deuteronomy 22:13-21

See? We can quote the Bible, too.

Send them to the gulag. In my ideal world there is no free speech or free exercise of religion. for hundreds of years street preachers in this country having been getting away with hurting people’s feelings. This must stop. We know we can shut them down because a number of my favorite countries have been successful. Use of violence and intimidation works, as Marisa noted, but best of all use the power of the government to stop the months of those who say things we do not want them to be saying.

They have every right to free speech, including the right to call a rugby player’s girlfreind: “Slut” to her face.

On the other hand, a certain Darwinist perspective is useful in considering the rugby player’s response.

I would therefore encourage street preachers to continue taunting the girlfreinds of large, muscular athetes.

It would provide exciting opportunities to spread God’s Word at the local ICUs.

REAL MEN would round up these street preachers and take them out behind the barn for “attitude adjustments.”

“Women have two places: In front of the sink and behind the vacuum,” Armstrong proclaims.

I’m guessing Pastor Armstrong doesn’t have much of a sex life …

Why not take a portable audiometer to the scene to measure if these brimstone & hellfire preachers are obeying the anti-noise ordinances regarding public order & consideration for their fellow citizens?
It would surely be an objectively decided case, based on scientific documentation, thus abiding by First Amendment protections of free speech & religious freedom, as well.

From a Theological perspective the concept of “if you don’t do this or that you are going to Hell” does not make any sense.
This has been the topic of Theological discussions & papers for centuries.
The Evangelist will insist that his duty is to call everyone to the One True God. But since he is only human, he cannot reach everyone who has not heard The Word. Therefore, is a child, committing no Biblical transgression, who lives in a remote area where the erstwhile preacher cannot find him sentenced to Hell?
This is the circular logical break down of the same ilk as “Can God make a rock so heavy, he cannot lift it?”

If the answer to the above is “yes; but we cannot comprehend the answer”, then the same child will certainly NOT go to Hell because God preforms outside of the conceptions of the Evangelist’s understanding of Forgiveness. It is NOT the Evangelist who could ever sentence anyone to Judgment.

Well, at least he didn’t say women had to stay barefoot and pregnant, but maybe thats understood by the WNs, pity if he has a female mate. Most likely a male friend is all he can keep, sometimes those kind of big burley muscle men protest just a bit too much, not that there is anything wrong with male to male or women to women or mixed.

I learn so much reading!!! Sodimite Film Festival!

I hear yeagley gives speeches in Florida, but he’s too chicken to do the streets, Armstrong sounds just like yeagleys kind of MAN!

Say what you will Armstrong, I will never give up my jeans, though I am female thru and thru, and I love the opposite sex.

Recommended responses (which may or may not work) to such excesses of street-preaching obnoxiousness:

None other than a chorus of the old “Uber alles” (as in “Deutschland, Deutschland”) … or, better yet, “Die Stem van Suid-Afrika” (“The Voice of South Africa”) … or, weirder still, a medley of “The Song of Eternal Leader Kim Il Sung” and “The Song of Great Leader Kim Jong Il.”
