Yeah, me too.The friendship came to an abrupt end after I threatened to punch his fucking lights out if he didn't quit his loud "Praise the Lords!" at every opportunity.
Fortunately I live in secular society where it's considered ill mannered to wear your beliefs on your sleeve.(except sports of course) Such people receive little public sympathy. EG last year two street preachers were arrested in the city mall for harassing passer by with threats of fire and brimstone.They were extremely fortunate their ranting didn't upset a child. A parent of either sex would have decked them.
Quote:The council offers preachers permits across town but Rundle Mall and its surrounding sidestreets are declared no-go zones without specific permission.
Lord Mayor Michael Harbison said the council had a duty to ``create the best environment’’ for all mall-goers.
``It is important that we do stick by our staff so if they have decided to issue fines then we have to stick by that,’’ he told the City Messenger this week.
``From what I have observed in the past, they (preachers) have been quite noisy.’’
In the past six months, police have arrested six people for disorderly behaviour and/or loitering in the Mall precinct - most were preachers.
