When approached by a stranger saying odd things I normally ignore while keeping an eye on them to make sure they don't get too close to me. I've learned that after being approached many times by incoherent people or guys making sexually explicit remarks.
In the OP's situation, the guy could have been mentally ill; religious delusions are a symptom of some mental illnesses.
I probably would have mumbled something then pretended to be busy with my phone while walking a safe distance away.
Or maybe said something equally insane back to him.

The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
