Debating religious bigots

Post by Ptolemy_Banana »

It's an important question, what's the best way to respond to religious bigotry? How does one go about confronting a crazy street preacher, for example? I think this guy has it down.

I'm in a dentist's waiting room and can't watch the video, but a good approach would be to ask them What Would Jesus Do?

I think if we can take any lesson from history it's that Jesus and the rest of the Bible's message is so clumsy and open to interpretation that the question "What would Jesus do?" is always answered "Exactly what I'm about to do now." Personally I think Jesus would do what the guy in this video did.

The correct question is "What would Cash do?" He'd shoot the bigots just to watch them die.

Those people asking that question, are they illiterate by chance?

I would ignore the preacher. I'm not Jesus. [winkgrin]
Common sense is another word for prejudice.
