James the Preacher at the recent American Atheist Convention in Des Moines, Iowa. Any guess as to how many converts he made?
Apparently, relations between the atheists and the street preachers was pretty amicable before this guy showed up. The new blog We Are Stardust has the story.
He forgot to mention that we non-believers like fava beans with our baby livers.
What? No Chianti? I feel diminished, somehow.
Not a fan of chianti, myself. I’d rather have a nice beaujolais nouveau or a pinot noir with my baby liver with fava beans.
Pinot is like water. I have no tongue for subtle wines.
Give me a nice peppery Shiraz that kicks me in the taste buds.
Well, baby would be considered a white meat like pork, so one would need a medium bodied wine to go with it. Unless, of course, one prepared the baby in a spicy shish-ka-bob fashion or in dumplings, then a fuller white wine might be appropriate.
Torrontes type wines pair well with spicy food.
Of course, we could always just fricasee the baby, then you could pair it with a nice beer. How about a Doghead Fish 90 minute IPA?
Beer is always the better option. Although I would think you wouldn’t want something as strong as the Dogfish 90 with a baby. I’d say something more in a nut brown. Maybe even an imperial stout for a fuller body. I’d start with a Santa Fe Nut Brown.
Texans. Always putting too much spice on the babies.
:D
Honestly? I’d have responded to his aggression with aggression. I’m fed up with twatburgers like that who stand there spewing bile and call it love. I’d have smacked him with a tyre iron thirty seconds in and made that a MUCH more interesting video.
This is why I keep a supply of “Emergency Eggs” in my car.
I had the same thought, but I wonder if one could make other signs and stand behind him.
Signs that said things like “People who shout a lot are compensating for a lack of intelligence”. or something simpler like “The Bible is Contradictory”.
Or a giant picture of Shiva with “My god has a bigger penis than yours” (Or if we are being PG – My god is a better dancer than yours)
Shiva is often represented as an erect phallus.
Looks like Brian Posehn.
I thought the exact same thing!
Religion by numbers 1… 2… 3 ?
But he’s not doing it for converts.
He is doing what he thinks God will give him “brownie points” for doing—screaming at heathens. Since he made up a God that likes the same things he likes…it is all very convenient.
Plus all the brownie points he gets in his church when he tells them he was out “preaching the gospel” and makes them feel guilty for not being as good a christian as him.
If god is so loving, then why are some of his followers so hateful?
Because not all who claim to be His…are.
Basically, everyone who tries to deliver god’s message is a liar.
Mostly to themselves.
Tough to find a real Scotsman, ain’t it?
Because using a literal interpretation of the bible = not god’s children, right?
No… of course JC and others like the “metaphorical” (read: pick and choose only the fuzziest, warmest, lovey-dovey parts to take literally) interpretation, and judge those actually reading and understanding the words as literally from “god” as not being true christians.
It look like the organizers of reasonfest in Kansas scored the jackpot of fundie crazy, they’re going to have the granddaddy of hate, the one and only WBC, protesting their event.
His sons looked positively embarrassed to be there and I’m sure they were coerced. Also they are both kinda cute – how he and that whale gave birth to them I’ll never know – would be fun if one of them were gay, that’d give him food for thought…hopefully.
No, these fundie nuts LOVE rejecting sinful family members. No better proof of your dedication to god than casting out a sinful child. It earns TONS of fundie brownie points.
C’mon – this is so OTT it’s funny … is there anyone he doesn’t mention in this rant? He basically thinks everyone but himself, his family, and one or two others are going to hell.
Honestly, I would have called the police on him. That is harassment, plain and simple. They don’t need to put up with him. He may have the right to protest but, as Matt Dillahunty says, his right to swing his arm ends at my face.
I have no hesitation in saying the world would be a better place without that guy.
Our area of the country is overridden with shieldbugs and our dogs love to play with them. Watching this reminds my of my silly dogs.
At the 3:59 mark he says, “You’re a fool, you’re a fool, on your way to hell”.
Hmmm, According to Matthew 5:22, Christ says whoever calls his brother a fool is condemned to hell fire. This self-righteous, loud mouth, like so many fundy christians, obviously does not know or does not follow the teachings of Christ as set out in the bible.
This guy gets around. I’m almost positive this was the same preacher that accosted me and my 16 year old daughter in Ybor City (Tampa, FL). He accused us of being ‘dykes’ because I had my arm around her as we were walking. My daughter stuck her tongue out at him and he claimed she did it because “she wanted to lick his anus.” How charmingly Christian of him.
Even the homeless guy on the street was disgusted by him and said he made the neighborhood look bad.
If he keeps this kind of crap up, he’s going to piss off the wrong person and get his head kicked in.
Now that would be a video I would thoroughly enjoy seeing.
Please James the preacher, in your prayers ask God to show you His love so you will get the perspective on the way to communicate. God places an incredible value on these sinners (you and me included) that you are shouting at. You dont have to insult people to get your point across. There are already enough crazy “christians” around – we dont need any more ta very much!!
I bet that particular prayer will get exactly as many results as any other prayer gets.
‘Forgive them father for they know not what they do’. I think James is starting to believe he is in an incarnation of B.Jeebus.
