In response to Paul Jones, here is your 'book, chapter and verse'.

This was written about 2,600 years ago, God's command to this prophet to write the message down, easy to read, so that the passer-by can read it, even if he is running. The message was written on tables of stone, so the runner who is reading them certainly was NOT carrying the tablets. He was reading the tablets as he ran past.

HABAKKUK 2:2 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

My intent in writing this is not to retaliate against any of these comments, the points have allready been made...

I want to grab all the men and women for a moment, who profess to be bible believing Christians.

Look at the times we live in, this comment list is the perfect example of the vast majority of our countries thoughts, towards the bible that molded this nation. Brethren we as Christians may have to face persecution again... I want to exhort you to realize the times we're living in and to not go along with this worlds distractions. Please brethren realize the seriousness of our faith and our calling to stand firm on the Rock, which is Christ,and to fight the fight of faith as so many that have gone before.

Your Brother,

And your name is?

No, my name is not Richard Jackson. I am not a lawyer. I am a bible believing Christian.

The Christian is told by the world that he supposed to keep his faith in the church. However, nobody complains when the drunk brings his drunkenness out in the streets.

A man walks out of a bar onto the sidewalk, sees someone he knows across the street and calls his friend to join him for a drink... nobody complains. A man comes from a church and stands on the sidewalk calling men to join them in a drink of the living water... you see the reaction.

A sign is placed on the sidewalk advertising some drink, club, band, etc... Far from causing a stir, it generates business. A man stands on the street holding a sign that advertises Jesus Christ, salvation from sin, eternal life, etc... the man is assaulted.

A man stands on the sidewalk handing out coupons for drinks at a certain bar... They are enthusiastically received by many, who then use them to get half off their evening of pleasure. A man stands on the sidewalk handing out tracts telling of salvation FREELY offered... Men Slander and criticize him for being too proactive.

Now, you tell me, is the problem here with the method? Or is it the message?

Stephen- that's all fine and dandy...but keep it in the church, not everyone has the SAME beliefs. I am no sheep, and I will respect your opinions and faith and you should do the same. Maybe some atheists should protest outside your church and stand on the corners and yell at you. I am sure after some point, you would be over it. It is annoying, and even though I respect it, and was almost ''saved'', it needs to be done inside your church or someplace else where it can do some good. because do you really think someone is going to talk out of a bar and see these people and say, '' oh, gosh....I am sinning, I better put this beer down and get to bed so I can go to church tomorrow!.'' NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. Let people believe what they want, and you work on your own 'salvation' because I am pretty sure Christians aren't perfect either....so please stop judging us just because we don't believe in everything you do.

I live in Anderson, SC but have visited Deland twice. The next time I visit I will be sure to take a place on the public street corner with these men. What they do in Deland we do in Anderson, SC. To the BBC, keep up the good work. To the "bar patrons," don't tell them to keep it in the church when you don't keep your alcohol in the brewery.

There is one fundamental truth that will keep both sides of this issue from ever seeing eye to eye:

On one hand you have reasonable rational people who can understand the logic of a well stated arguement.

On the other you have a group of people who's world view is based upon a two thousand year old collection of random fairy tales that they purport as fact.

It will always be impossible to reconcile these two points of view until we get to a point as a society where everyone can take a step back from their indoctrinations and be honest with themselves and each other.

No doubt, this young man was drunk and crossed the line. But what can be expected to happen when night after night, a group of zealots stand a few feet from your dinner table and scream out their incoherent ramblings? They care not if you are reuniting with old friends, visiting with a relative from out of town, or just relaxing after a hard days work. I think as a courtesy "people of god" should return the favor of allowing the sinners quiet enjoyment of there free time, seeing as we give them tax free status to preach their fear doctrine to the next generation of unfortunates each Sunday.

It is amusing to consider how these street preachers would react to an equal lack of respect if it occured outside their place of "worship." I would like to see how long it took before violence was initiated by one of their "faithful" if there was a bikini car-wash across the street from their church on Glenwood Road next Sunday morning!

There is one positive to all of this, these street preachers are the best deterrent to organized religion than any athiest could ever hope to be. I hope they continue to preach night after night until there is no doubt left as to their insanity. I really don't think they realize how much harm they do to their own cause....

I am the niece of Justin...and although he may have been drunk and put his hands on the man, he has a heart of gold. Would give me the last penny from his pocket and is the sweetest man I know.. and you better believe compared to other relatives its a miracle. Don't get me wrong, I haven't watched the video but I am sure he was being an idiot but I would love to know why the other idiot was out infront of a bar pushing his beliefs on other people in the middle of the night? I respect peoples opinions and faith and I would appreciate if 'christians' did the same for me. So stop spending your time on the corner and go volunteer at a shelter or something...because I don't want your beliefs shoved on me. love you uncle justin :)

Is that what they are teaching at that Church?What is the degree they get? Master of Perversion?

My comment is to readers who claim this sign ministry is in the Bible. I wish they would provide book, chater and verse. I have been unable to locate where Abraham, Moses. Jesus, Paul or anyone else held a sign as a method to preach. But many did resort to the pen and paper and preach in public areas. I also believe if you are trying to introduce or reintroduce individuals to Christ the most effective method is to be a witness to your faith. Volunteer to work in one of the local kitchens that feed the homeless, mentor a student who is struggling in school, volunteer to build a house with Habitat, volunteer to work with one of the social agencies in DeLand that help those who need rent assistance, or to pay their bills, celebrate your birthday by asking your family and friends to make monetary or pet food donations in your name to Journey's End, volunteer to help those that are home bound (take them grocery, to a movie, shopping, cut their hair, do their nails), work in the prison ministry, be a hospice volunteer, give rides (Share A Ride) to those who have dental or medical appointments, be a volunteer in our schools, librarieshospitals. Be a witness to your faith by helping others who are in need.

The best part about the video is when u can hear Marsha!!!! Blessed Love Marsha! Hilarious :)

Look at the harm all this drinking is doing. If that man were not drunk in public, which is a crime in many other places, he would not have assaulted a complete stranger and made it obvious how big a fool he is. I say, let's outlaw drinking in public, or perhaps restrict it to special buildings. Maybe if all drinking could be done on Sunday mornings, or in free drinking zones set up by the government. That way anyone who would want to see public displays of drunken idiocy could go to these special areas.

They are annoying. They piss MANY people off. Cause Fights and arguments. Telling you if you drink you're a sinner. They are setting them selves up for disaster. I will say for being SUCH GOOD godly people just trying to make us aware. They sin too. They picked a fight with my brother one night as well! One told him "YOU DONT WANNA MESS WITH ME I WAS IN THE SERVICE. IF YOUR FEELING FROGGY LEAP!" Anyways the guy got in my brothers face and they were yelling back and forth. They shouldnt be allowed to stand there all night and ruin our nights. I agree with the people on here we should get wasted and go yell at the doors of there church sunday morning. "My choice is what I choose to do,

And if I'm causing no harm, it shouldn't bother you" -Ben Harper. We dont bother them at church, so dont bothers us at the bars! were causing no harm to you!

Free speech is something I’m very much in favor of, and I don’t believe we have a legal right not to be offended, but there are other issues involved, like the right of privacy: I don’t like being asked to share intimate details about my relationship with my heavenly Father any more than being grilled to share information about how things are going with the earthly one.

On the other hand, these groups believe they’re trying to save us from an eternity in the great microwave, and that it’s their duty to use every method possible to prevent that from happening. If this is true, they should be pro-abortion, because that’s the only way, according to this worldview, to guarantee that a soul has a definite entrée into heaven. Would you want to risk having your kid make the wrong decision after his birth?

Unfortunatley Justin put his hands on the man...that was his only fault....other than that, he was using his freedom of speech by tellin the idiots that they are idiots.....yes it is annoying that they stand there and yell all freakin night.....I think all the drunks should go stand in front of those peoples church and scream things about drinking...hahahahahahahhahahah! organized religion is gay ...STOP YELLING AT US!!!

As someone who has lived here for over 30 years, and has stood on the street in downtown DeLand holding political campaign signs - and "Jesus Saves" signs - I'd like to make a few comments of my own.

1. Many of the comments here are clearly a case of people seeing and hearing what they want to see or hear - not necessarily what actually happened. I can assure you that no one is preaching or pointing a sign specifically at you based on what you are doing, wearing, or driving. If you see it that way, it is only because a "connection" has been made between you and the other person - make of that what you will.

2. There is no such thing as a right to not be offended. The First Amendment was not written to protect nice polite speech - it was put there to protect that which some people find offensive, disagreeable, controversial and "politically incorrect".

3. The motivation behind public ministry (in addition to simply obeying a direct commandment of God) is the same as someone who sees people inside a burning building and then does everything he possibly can to save them from the fire. For those who believe The Holy Bible, the analogy fits perfectly. The motivation is a genuine love and concern for those who will, indeed, find themselves "in the fire" without salvation. If you choose to reject the message, then that is your choice. Just don't try to claim that the public ministry is done from any motivation other than a genuine love and concern for you. Sometimes important messages are annoying; you probably thought the same of your parents when they scolded you for doing something that you shouldn't.

4. The level of ignorance displayed about The Holy Bible in some comments is astounding. If you want to argue against public ministry because you find it annoying and offensive, that's fine; you can probably make a solid argument that way. Just don't try to use The Holy Bible to justify your position - you have no idea how foolish it makes you look. While public ministry may be standing on very shaky ground when it comes to being "socially acceptable" in this God-despising culture, it stands on rock-solid ground when it comes to what The Holy Bible says.

America - and Christianity - are all about making choices. Choose wisely.

Oh, one more thought.

What if this results in a tit for tat, eye for an eye sort of response and DeLand's drunks start picketing churches on Sunday morning?

Yikes!

Wait a minute.

Didn't Jesus drink wine?

To Deland business owner, we apologize for scaring your patrons away, but in the end, the wages of sin is death, and death is what you bring to people by running drinking establishments and that my friend will get you a one way ticket to someplace other than Heaven,but, by the grace of God, he sent is only son, Jesus Christ to die for you because of your sins, maybe its time to take a good hard look at yourself and rethink some of the things you've said on here.

I'm a lifelong resident of DeLand and have always appreciated our "open forum" atmosphere. Whether it's politicians, Stetson students, or these preachers, we support the first amendment right to speak up about our beliefs in public. Let's not forget that simply because we disagree with what's being said.

How much of a stretch is it to believe that we could wake up one day and read about one of these street preachers being seriously hurt or killed by an angry drunk?

Maybe the preachers should start packing tazers and mace. Perhaps a pistol in the pocket wouldn't be out of line either. I'm just saying...

JUSTIN EILAND ROCKS !

I do think that people are forgetting that everyone after Adam and Eve by their acts has fallen short of Gods glory. From that time every person how ever lived are SINNERS. Thats the curse of mankinds rebellion against God and thats the way it is of sin in this world.

I see what some has said in statements above that what is the church doing for Deland. They my friends are do more than you can ever know. I was part of the Shelter program from my local church and we provided food, bed, clothing, and even sent the sick to Doctors to be treated and all paid by the church. You dont see the city or county government helping them out.

I just want to say that ThomasG, and others saying it all about the rights. You are WRONG, Here are the rights:

"The First Amendment to the United States Constitution is the part of the United States Bill of Rights that expressly prohibits the United States Congress from making laws "respecting an establishment of religion" or that prohibit the free exercise of religion, infringe the freedom of speech, infringe the freedom of the press, limit the right to peaceably assemble, or limit the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

The admendment is aimed at Congress so they would not take away freedoms from the people and it protects our rights. Here is what it protects:

"The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment prohibits the establishment of a national religion by the Congress" So that Uncle Same cant force religion or no-religion on any peoples.

" Free exercise of religion - Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment" So that State powers cant tell what religions peoples should have.

"Freedom of speech"

Colleen in the Bible there are many who shouted from the streets. John the Baptist shouted against Herod about being a sinner. Jesus himself at the Temple smashed all the vendors selling goods there. Jesus preaches in the temple and was confronted by priests, Jesus shouted at them calling that place a "Harlot the home of the lizzard and the spider." Besause what waht the elders were doing there(taking money, and sinning, selling gods in the temple). So, I say read the Bible again there are more accounts of holy shoutting there.

Pita, Whats the deal with the ladies?

sandi & Jim and others - You have you freedom, if you dont like what you are hearing tell them I dont want to hear it and jsut simply walk away. That easy. Walk walk away.

Daniel - I surpose we all in Gods Service but you know there are some that might be to pushing on what they have to say. But I do agree with you about the Lord.

never try to teach a pig to sing,it annoys the pig,and wastes your time.

I'm sure everyone is suffering a classic case of DeLanditosis. It doesn't mean anyone is "schizophrenic" or that someone responding to the ongoing demonstrations downtown is crazy - there are so many churches to go to, why is it really that necessary to stand out there with picketing signs so often? Isn't part of the revenue made downtown based on evening strolls, dinner and cocktails? Why is there so much harm in simply letting the picketing shouting holy men and women that Sunday mornin' is a fine time for all the hollerin and bible thumpin to be done... and the rest of us can show up in our flip flops and hear it then if we choose to. - Hugs and kisses.

Free speech has its limits, and harassment oversteps them.

I take care of a friend with schizophrenia. The day he was released from the hospital, we were walking through downtown DeLand and were approached by some church people who wanted to give us "free hugs". My friend is very sensitive about strangers invading his space, and when we at first politely declined, they kept it up, saying "How about a handshake?" Finally, to get them to leave us alone, I had to explain that my friend was mentally disabled and had just been released from the hospital and that they were harassing us.

Whether it's people telling you you're going to **** or people approaching you to give you "free hugs" as a sales pitch for their church, the practice is becoming overly invasive.

A solution might be to set aside a public space off the sidewalk which could serve as a free speech alley, where only those interested in hearing the messages would have to interact with the people delivering them.

"QUOTE"...This is not a matter of the message they are preaching. It is a matter of their right to do the preaching, and my right not to be preached at....JESUS CHRIST commanded for these men to preach.. in the highways and hedges. JESUS CHRIST said it in HIS WORD its in the BIBLE if you don't believe me. go check it out. I know alot of people don't really hate JESUS you may even think he is a good prophet, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.. And anyone even has a right to reject the one that created you. In the BIBLE it was the town that rejected, beat, spat, and hung on the cross for your and my sins. HE even went as far as saying "GOD FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO" If you are coming against these men of GOD, you need to understand you fit into that group of people. People that hated and hates JESUS came and are still coming against HIS people, JESUS warned us that you would hate his people that "preach" because they, "you" hated HIM. Don't go and get all upset when I say these things... just face the truth and either keep rejecting truth, or repent.. change the way you think about your sin which is what JESUS CHRIST commanded. Yes JESUS did command for you to repent of your sins and to change the way you think of sin, your life style. One day you will take your last breath, and then where will you be? There is sooo much in the BIBLE that is misunderstood, much less read. Pick up your KJV BIBLE and take a look at what JESUS CHRIST had to say, and if you don't hate HIM, you will back off, even when you don't like 'being preached at"

I am praying for these men that are not cowards and standing boldly for the cause of my Saviour JESUS CHRIST!!! JESUS says in THE HOLY BIBLE,... STAND!!

Oh Yeah.... JESUS CHRIST also said.

Jos 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

By the way... I am not a preacher, I am just someone that has read my BIBLE and knows TRUTH

Comment to Delandite.

Well said. I have been in DeLand since 1978 and have never been accosted by the street preachers. Let's see...drunks or street preachers?...I choose street preachers; and the continuance of freedom of speech.

WE totally agree with every word ThomasG wrote. We & many of our friends quit going to Deland for this very reason. No one wants to be yelled at, hollering right in your face you are going to ****. Tnis is plain rediculous. Deland sue ot be a ncie place to visit..downtown that is for many of us out of towner.s Great food at the Mainstreet grill & then a nice walk to the nie lil shops. No more tho. If we cannot be treated with respect in any town..we will never spend our money there. Those people have honestly ruined your downtown that you made look so nice. We also are over 65. We want our Freedom also to walk a street without being verbally accousted in an evil manner. Read the First Amendment..we just want our Freedom & peace. Leave the patrons alone please.

Never the less CHRIST is being preached, no matter how hard they are coming across!! Just maybe.. the souls and minds of people that keep rejecting truth and keep harding the minds and attitudes, GOD almighy just might bekeep giving warning to that just keep on rejecting the state of where they are... one day GOD is going to stop, and one day, you that reject these hard preachings will wish you had listened. I am not a part of these people in Deland, and I may not even agree how they do it, but I will alway stand behind ones that stand and will preach CHRIST regardless HOW CHRIST IS BEING PREACHED. And if Deland city has a ounce of morals, they will not go against righteousness, no matter of their own personal convictions, but right is right, and in 2 Chronicles 7:14 warns against a nation that forgets GOD. GOD will destroy it, and if GOD says it will destroy you he doesn't play. He does it. So Deland.. you better repent and stop coming against GODs people, regardless of how you feel. Can God find 10 righteous people in Deland? 9? 8? 7? 5?.... do you know where I am going????

This is not a matter of the message they are preaching. It is a matter of their right to do the preaching, and my right not to be preached at.

Now if Daniel Lebreux is right, then we all know about God and how swell of a guy this Jesus Christ is. Good for us. If these preachers need to preach to people, go and preach to the crack addicted souls in Deland. The mothers that lose their babies to the state because they can't get off the meth and pills. If they would do that, then they aren't going to be preaching on the corner of 44 and 17/92. I don't see these street preachers anywhere in Deland except on Main street. They aren't helping Deland prosper, or bringing more money to downtown. They are disrupting local business.

AS a christian and a biker, (I probably act less like a christian then i should) I would say that when i ride downtown and see and hear the preachers i think of sodom and gamora,and becouse of those preachers God just might smile down and spare the good ole U.S.A. couse everybody knows were going to **** in handbasket quick. AS for the two in the story goes,yelling is ok but when you touch somebody thats assault.

Regardless how we think or believe how these preachers are preaching, The Bible says never the less CHRIST is being preached. How many do you know that have the boldness to go out and warn others about their souls? The day that the city stands against CHRIST regardless how he is being preached, the day Deland will become in a worse state than they are now.

I support the Constitutional rights of street preachers to spread the word of God on the streets of America. However, the Bible does in 1 Peter 3:15 states; "be ready at all times to answer anyone who asks you to explain the hope in you, but do so with gentleness and respect".

We have bar fights nearly every Friday and Saturday nights in downtown Deland. There have been shootings, stabbing, rapes, and even a murder since bars have been allowed to open. The Police have to forceably close the bars. I don't think that we need bars in downtown Deland as it does not make for a family friendly atmosphere. I wish that the City Fathers would try not to make Deland into Daytona West. If I want "Beach Street" activity I would go to Daytona. Keep Deland simple. Street preaching to shootings. I would rather have street preaching.

Sidenote to To Thomas G, God doesn't hate you for riding a motorcycle, there are plenty of Christian Motorcycle Clubs. Just one church out of 188 in Deland, so don't judge all the churches and christians by this particular church no more than I would say that anyone who rides a motorcycle is a "****'s Angel" (No pund intended).

My son was accosted at 16 years old by the street preachers and at the time was a student and member of Lighthouse Christian - He put them in their place not by being beligerant but by turning around their garbage back at them- asked a few challenging questions they did not know how to respond to. He then watched the person put their sign away and leave... maybe all they need is a bit of education to prove what they are doing is just plain rude and inconsiderate. Dont mind street preachers just know what you are preaching!!!!

Its the first amendment! You cant take that from anyone you could stand on the corner and shout anything thats not vulgar or offensive, and no one can touch you!!! Thats the constitutional right of everyone that lives hear! Be Happy:>)

The first amendment clearly states that congress shall make no laws respecting or prohibiting religion. I shall not respect or prohibit it. They on the other hand do not respect my desire to refrain from it. When I ride my motorcycle down the street past them, quite often they shake their signs at me. What did I do wrong by riding my motorcycle? Am I a heathen for owning a two-wheeled vehicle? Maybe it was the fact that I earned the money to pay for this heathen, two-wheeled vehicle standing on the firing line in the battle of Tora Bora, Afghanistan and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Call me whatever you wish, but it makes me sick to know that my men stood their ground and some died to protect these same people.

The ideas set down by our country's founders are there to protect us. They weren't put there so the righteous could stand behind them. This great and powerful country wasn’t founded by the strong and powerful; and wasn’t by the rich and mighty. It was founded by the weak, the sick, and the tired. All the founders wanted was freedom. All I want is freedom. I want the freedom from having religion forced down my throat. I want the freedom to enjoy myself on a bright sunny day, without being condemned because someone doesn't approve of my choice of transportation, God knows I have earned that much. I don’t protest your church or enact laws to stop you from having a church. Don't protest me and tell me that I'm not good enough for God to love me for what I am, a man with faults, problems, and a desire to stand up for the broken and beaten. I am just a man, so give me back my sidewalks. Give me back my freedom.

It is frightening to compare the calm and decent nature of the preachers on this video with the viscious comments being made by the readers. I wonder what kind of town I live in when 90% of your readers defend this cursing, screaming, law breaker and speak with such hate toward the men in this video who are clearly being polite and well behaved. I've lived here over 20 years and we have always had street preachers down town. They have not changed. The problem is clearly the type of citizens that are now living among us. Such a shame. I also have to laugh at how so many of your readers are experts on God.

There's a big difference between peacefully preaching and basically accosting people..

I hate going downtown because of the "street" preachers. I hate all the yelling and the overall nastiness. I don't want to be told I'm going to **** as I walk by them, for all they know, I could belong to the same religion. They just yell at everyone that they're going to ****.

Overall, holding up a sign should be okay, but, they should have to wait for people to approach them if they are already holding up a sign. Yelling and stopping everyone who walks by and yelling at cars really needs to stop.

I don't mind discreet preaching that you can easily turn down without humiliation to either party, but, I take serious offense to what goes on down town all the time.

There was another elderly religioius lady downtown for a long time. She just sat there and waited for people to approach her. She didn't yell at you that you were going to ****.

Overall, much better approach.

The one approach doesn't scare me away from downtown Deland, the signs and yelling though make me pass up downtown Deland.

As for the street preachers, they do verbally scream in your face and I do understand their desire to spread the word of Christ, I ask on thing only of them. Can you show me in the bible where the disciples or Jesus himself stood on the corner and screamed at people to be saved? I have asked them several times when I was yelled at by them, and I told them gentley, "Back up what you are doing with scripture, God's Word, and I would gladly join them. Not one of them could! Makes you wonder are they really trying to win souls for the Kingdom of God or are they wanting public attention for themselves? The bible states Matthew 28:19 it is actually a commandment from Jesus to his followers for them to preach. This in one way to perceive a religions faith and christian validity. Now, he told them to go speak to the people, he didn't say hold a sign on the street corner and let the people approach you....there's a difference in humility there.

As a DeLand downtown business owner who supports all downtown establishments and has left the Brickhouse several times after having dinner on a Friday night to be yelled at by these street preachers that I am a "sinner" or that I am going to "burn in **** for eternity" among other things...I walk away everytime wondering if one single person has come to thier church on Sunday to be saved. I belive that Jesus- the wonderful teacher that he was- would never stand and judge anyone the way they are doing. These people leaving the bar are being provoked to anger...and from what I remember from the bible...there is a verse that says something to the effect of not provoking others to anger. It also says treat others as you would like to be treated...maybe we should all get up on Sundays and stand outside thier church and spew our beliefs at them and see if we can convert them......to love, peace, and happiness

After watching the video, I gotta tell I don't see anything wrong here. One idiot out screaming another idiot. And lets not cry for the street preachers, they put themselves out there and in doing so are open to verbal abuse. Now, granted the crazy man should not have put his hands on the preachers, but,that will proably fall short of actual assualt when crazy goes before a judge.

I say preach if that is your thing, but even doing gods work can be annoying to others sometimes. I think what really ticks off adults is that the theme is tired. The whole **** and damnation, fire and brimestone, it does not work in the twenty first century. It seems to me, they could convey their message using a less childlike appoach. Fear and intimidation are ideas that do not go over well with adults. Its actually quite sad when one thinks about this, thousands of years and nothing new to yell about.

One last thing, while the self emposed emmisaries of god are out doing the lords work, I wonder who is doing their ladies.

Idiot one and Idiot two in action.

More like a case of paranoid delusionals who think an invisible "god" is watching everything they do and judging them and a psychotic man who acts out against everyone.

They both need medication.

This is in response to TomasR Comment,

I have never known a Church inviting riots in public, nor have ever I heard a Church to invite members of a church to act in such vial ways in act of terrorism. The Mission of the Church is to go out into the WORLD and TEACH about Jesus and it is JESUS's command to the follower to make "fishers of men" and make disciples. The Church is not a building it is the body of Christ we are part of him. So we cant be confind to a "Building" as it were.

It is true there are some religions that are made up and are headed up by a false prophet and we are warned by Jesus himself stating "be warned of the False prophetin the last days."

And again I have never attended a Church that favor torture. We brothers in Christ favor forgiveness, peace towards our fellow men. With this said, Peace be with you.

I say the street preacher is in the right, he is trying to do the Lords work by telling everyone about our savior and not to just the bar patrons. I have seen the street preacher many times and he never has done anything wrong. Its the same with Jesus, John Baptist that a crown of people would try to stomp out the Lords message by discrediting them.

There are some people in this world who do not want to hear the TRUTH because in thier heart they know that they have commited sin against God and by ignoring it they sweep their gult under the carpet and hope that God did not see. The same is with the man named Eiland he does not want to hear truth so he attacks it.

Peace be with you.

When the church terrorists incite riots, what do you expect? The churches need to stay inside their buildings and spew their hatred, not out on the public sidewalks. I would charge the church terrorists with terrorist activities and inciting a riot. Since they favor torture, try waterboarding them a little.

I have NEVER been accosted by the street preachers; this is NOT a case of a problem between street preachers and "bar patrons"; this is a case of a crazy man assaulting someone, pure and simple. Since the street preachers are not harming anyone or breaking any laws, let's not make this a 50/50 problem, let's accuse the one who actually broke the law. Wake up, people... when the street preachers lose their right to calmly and non-invasively preach, we are all in trouble because no matter how you feel about God, this is a freedom of speech issue.
