If i go to USA, how common is it to see a preacher on the streets

[Brian37]

I think mass media like the internet and cell phones but especially the internet, is making door to door and street preachers sales less relevant, although religious people still employ it.

Sometimes where I work some fundy will leave a tract in the bathroom on the sink, I simply throw it in the trash. I've had about 4 or 5 visits from door to door snake oil salesmen in my life. But it does happen.

I am more annoyed by my co-workers who demand my silence and submission on Sunday when they are blaring gospel music for 3 hours. They think they are being tolerant by not firing me, or arresting me. But if I raise one question, they puff out their chests and falsely accuse me of being the bigot. So I have to be the good Uncle Tom atheist and sit quietly at the back of the bus.

A doctor here was recently dismissed for repeatedly sending emails with prayers in them to colleagues and patients after being told by management several times to stop.

He believes that he was dismissed becuase of his religion and for highlighting shoddy care in the hospital several years back. Seems as though the latter argument has some merit, but the management of the hospital retorted saying that nobody was preventing him from being religious, rather a secular workplace demands that people keep their religious sermonising to themselves and not impose it on people who don't want to hear or listen to it.

Just goes to show the difference between here in the UK and over there in the US.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bir...m-24259649 The BBC article doesn't really go into depth. From futher reading it seems like he actually sent these quotes to quite a few people beyond the consultants he claims he posted them too.

And the thing is with them, it isn't so much they play that crap, it is more that they hog the radio every day. If I play 5 seconds of an ABBA song they act like I murdered their family. I hate more the fact that it is the same fucking station and the repetition. But it also pisses me off that they think they are being fair.

They don't want my "respect", they want my submission. "Fair" to them is when they get what they want without any challenge.

But again, it is human lack of understanding of our evolutionary behavior.

The truth of our species is that we are BOTH the alpha male and the subordinate depending on location. We are BOTH the majority and minority depending where you are located.
