    Theres a difference between offering to spread the word to those who might be interested in it, as the Mormons and JW often do, and being a loud obnoxious preacher ramming your religious drivel down the throats and into the ears of those who don't want to have anything to do with it. That's not spreading the word. That's being an ignorant pr!ck.

    There is advertising shoved in our faces constantly from all directions. I think it's just because it's a controversial subject [Jesus] that causes the backlash. The Bible says faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. So that's why people preach like this. It's not to be a "prick".

    Billboards are static and silent - the only "annoyance" is visual and that's passing as you go past it, or look in another direction - yelling the Lords words be it through a Klaxon or not is quite another matter. The mere fact he does this shows he is on a loser.

    Maybe, if you explained without reference to some compendium of stories, compiled by a bunch of men with their own agenda, that were written too long ago to be relevant, by unknown authors, about characters that have no historical proof of existence, concerning acts which are not provable, others might take your explanation seriously.

    But I guess that would be a tall order.

    I don't understand your point. The Scriptures are just are relevant today as they ever were throughout history. I guess what you mean is that you have a problem with historians and archaeologists? You know, just because you live in this age doesn't make the ages that came before irrelevant to us.
    by unknown authors

    Untrue.
    about characters that have no historical proof of existence

    Also untrue.

    Yep ..... I can accept that their relevance has not changed.
    The stories remain as irrelevant as ever.

    No one has even been able to provide even the slightest tangible evidence of the existence of a God/Gods or an afterlife.

    Who thought, bring these people into the country, and don't provide them with their most critical of needs, and expect things to be grand!

    All these countries just round up their great unwashed and put them on a boat and wish them 'bon voyage' and push them out to sea only to see where they end up and we gleefully embrace them in to our communities!!!

    What a fantastic solution they have of ridding themselves of... issues!!! :D

    Let's hope nobody in your family has mental health issues, your solution is clearly to assault them.

    We've come so far in relation to mental health in Ireland, but the comments like this show some people still live in the dark ages.

    The stigma is still alive and well.

    But do we know it is a mental health issue or are we relying on Facebook comments from paramedics who may just be presuming it is a mental health issue?

    Oh ffs, does a mentally stable person behaving like this? It's clearly some sort of mental health disturbance, possibly psychosis

    Drugs my friend. Could be drugs. Acid or the likes could make a person behave like that. Just because a paramedic says it is mental health doesnt mean it is unless of course he/she attended the treatment of the man. If that is the case then they shouldn't be on Facebook discussing it.

    Drugs can and do induce mental health disturbances such as psychosis, but not exclusively, I know someone who recently experienced non-drug induced psychosis, caused by severe anxiety and depression. I've never had a Facebook account, just plenty of personal experience with mental health issues

    Im not saying that chap has not got mental health issues all im saying is how do we know it wasnt drugs or the likes? Just because a paramedic said so on Facebook doesnt mean it is factual.

    If it is a mental health issue then how was this man ever let into this country? We barely deal with our own peoples mental health so we should not be accepting in people who only add to the issues which our mental health services face.

    Yes there is. No-one going about their daily life in the city wants to hear some jesus nut mouthing off about salvation and damnation. And I'm sure businesses in the vicinity would rather he was not there. Especially a cafe with outdoor seating. Who want's to sit down for coffee and listen to preaching? And some people might be put off in case he'd come over and bother them.

    Nothing wrong with religion. Each to their own. But they shouldn't be out mouthing off around the street making a nuisance of themselves.

    They do it in Cork too. There's mormons, but they are harmless enough and they keep to themselves for the most part and let people approach if they want. But now and again there are hard core preachers, mouthing off about this or that and handing out bits of literature. Piss off away from me!

    I take it you have the same objection to the "social activists" mouthing off on the street about some bee in their bonnet,?

    We don't, without a drugs test, but again, how do we know it wasn't drugs either? I didn't read Facebook comments, just using my own knowledge, and if it was drug induced, how and why did it occur?

    Mental health disturbances can be environmentally induced, did this occur here, and should we simply ignore it?

    So you agree with me regarding the drugs theory yet you appeared frustrated at the very notion i suggested it may have been drugs and not a mental health issue? Im not on Facebook either im just adressing the comments made that is wasnt drugs by a paramedic on Facebook which was mentioned by Cabaal in the post i originally replied to.

    I know there are many factors which can induce mental health issues and many people suffer from mental health problems alot more than we know of. I have a family member who has us all on edge with the sporadic breakdowns and hints of ending everything so i know how this works regarding someones mindset. Unfortunately though almost most things these days are attributed to mental health when sometimes all is needed is a reality check and maybe as aziz said a kick up the hole. The reaction regarding his comment is a bit ott as we dont know why that chap in the video acted the way did. If someone can come along and state as fact it was because of mental health then fair enough.
    By the way i dont agree with azizs comments i just dont see why people are quick to jump all over them without knowing the facts.

    In this mans case though it is not clear as to what happened. That man was either high as a kite or he has a serious issue with his mental well being. My opinion is he was on drugs. I wonder if i was on Facebook and masqueraded as an expert on drugs would people believe me that it was drugs? Probably.

    So mental health issues should be dealt with a 'kick up the hole'? Shur nobody knows the facts here, neither you or me, again, yes mental health issues can be drug and non-drug induced, if drug induced, why did this occur, why do drug users/addicts become so?
