A Simple Way to Shut Up a Street Preacher

That way you don't violate the street preacher's right of free speech, you minimise the impact on yourself and you affirm your own right to stand in the street preaching atheism (if that's ever what you want to do).

That is actually some great advice there, something I do when I very occasionally encounter street preachers.

Street preachers, noise polluters of the worst kind.

I happen to be a gay man who used to be or used to be associated with street preachers. Then, when I was harmed by them by being forced to consent to a gay exorcism and told that I was never truly a believer to begin with, I had to escape, costing me my job of 5 years. I know another way of shutting the street preacher's mouth and as a gay man, I have a few tricks up my sleeve. Remember male hookup apps like Grindr, Growlr, Scruff, Adam4Adam and others? First of all, create a fake account on any app (if you're gay and already have any of the apps, you are one step ahead). Secondly, just make sure that the location where the street evangelists has wifi or you have your own wifi on your android phone. Thirdly, approach them. Finally, turn on any hookup app and let it do all the hypocrisy exposure. Best if done at a gay pride event.

You should probably stop grave robbing. Read the Rules please: http://atheistforums.org/rules.php

Edit: Welcome. How about an intro thread. Would like to hear more.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

I didn't even know we could search back that far. I've tried to search my own posts back to when I started last year and either I don't know how to search right or it was an epic fail. Or both.

Peaceful methods rarely work. Those sick bustards keep babbling the same shit whatever you say, so the only way to shut them up is a good beating in the name of their lord. Remember Sister Dean cursing and insulting the LGBT people - he stopped doing that and ran away after he got beaten with a baseball bat.

Should you find yourself in a situation involving this type of Christian:

1. Ask the Christian for his/her Bible.

2. Locate and read (out loud) Matthew 6:5. http://goo.gl/mk1Qc

3. Watch the magic happen!  

So.... Your street preachers doing a lot of praying are they???

Not really getting what magic is supposed to happen here...
