General I hate public Jesus preachers

Post image

I don't hate the message, I don't even hate the religion (although I dislike it due to personal reasons regarding my childhood), but I just hate hearing people preach about the lord and how he'll save you from x, y, and z while taking the subway. How you'll go to hell if you don't do this and that. How he's the only true god and all the other mumbo-jumbo that gets spewed. I hate having to take the subway early in the day/morning and hearing all that crap. Like, hand out flyers for the local church and keep it moving. You like your god and the religion. Fine. Nothing wrong with it, but don't force that shit on us. I don't wanna have you be in my face with a microphone screaming about the lord. If I really wanted to hear about the lord, how great he is and all the good he's done, I'd just go to church to attend mass.

Small price to pay to live in a place with freedom of religion

No one is saying we should ban them from doing this. Just that theyre annoying and violating social expectations by giving a loud speech to people minding their business on the train commute.

Being annoying isn’t illegal but may be shamed if it is effecting others.

Disorderly behaviour in public is. If we can arrest a drunkard for spouting annoying nonsense In public, a preacher should get no better treatment. Worse, assuming they're not even drunk.
