Born again Christians preaching on our streets

The Late Late Show

I notice in several cities of late these preacher types with microphones and a bible mixing typical Jesus loves you/be saved from sin with political and social issues. Typically, they would condemn the Irish government, Donald Trump, the Catholic Church and mix it up with Christ. Sometimes, they do busking as well as preaching. Who are they?

Have you thought about asking them who they are ?

This might free up space in AH for our usual inane threads.

On a lighter note , I work with a born again Christian who gets prophetic dreams that she draws out the following morning with crayons

So far I can expect to be guided to safety by two ostriches and a giraffe/person according to her.

Someone who lived a rock n roll lifestyle, had a religious epiphany, and then turned their life around and decided to live their life through the word of the Lord.

Something to do with John 3:3 I believe - having a spiritual rebirth by accepting Christ as your saviour or some such tosh.

Dunno about those fellas but Mormon "missionaries" are a real nuisance. Always pestering people outside the main library here in Cork. I can't stand them, all yank young fellas with a smarmy vibe off them.

...And tell everybody about it.

Could be worse. They could be Bjorn again Christians. Saving their souls through the music of ABBA.

There's a guy who does be at the junction of O'Connell St and Earl St, big American lad with a beard. He's been there for years. He sets up an easel (sp??) and paints on it while preaching about God or whatever. Fair play.

What is this "I found Jesus" bit? ......was He lost?

Dead, actually. For 2000 years. People are awaiting his second coming, not realising that he already did that.

There's no third coming, peeps.

Your thread title states who they are and then in your post you ask 'who are they?' Just read your own thread title. Mystery solved.

They probably post in After Hours so as that is most of this place

Oh, how I long for the good old days - amphitheatres, lions, Christians. 'Twas great entertainment, and certainly stopped them annoying you on the streets.

The loudspeakers are annoying the one time a year I come across such people on the street. What's infinitely more intrusive is the all-pervasive advertising pounding at us via commercial radio and tv in every shop, barbers and so forth. Not to mention the advertisements on every street corner, bus and bus stop etc. Always amazing how people can be pissed off by this handful of religious propagandists and accepting of the overwhelming commercial propaganda in our society.

Do born again Christians have two belly buttons ?

Lived lives full of excess, crime, drink and drugs and turn it around and start judging people

You know that ex smoker who smoked for 20 years, quit and now criticizes other smokers? Think along those lines

Not necessarily true, those advertising folk are virtually everywhere now, clever little fcukers
