But I'm guessing that few people paid much attention to them, and that's a town here in the bible belt.
I really have to wonder though, what's the point? I have no statistics to back it up, but I'm guessing the number of people converted to a religion by a street preacher is probably somewhere close to zero.
Who is on the street that has no place to go, or the time to listen to a street preacher? It's the members of soceity the rest of you look past. The homeless, the addicts, and those who have to do terrible things to survive.
Most street preachers are the all too thin safety net for those who fall through the cracks of society.
