Tell him to give you the shirt off of his back right now. If he does then listen to him. If he doesn't then tell him that he doesn't know Jesus and to STFU. Matthew 5:42 (ERV) = "Give to anyone who asks you for something. Don’t refuse to give to anyone who wants to borrow from you."

I always go with a really sweet, "disculpe señor pero no hablo inglés" Big Grin

Once a guy's response was, "woah! Sorry amigo I didn't know you were a mexican"

It took everything I had not to fall out laughing!

Avoid eye contact, take brochures if thrust within six inches of self, keep walking.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

But, apparently, that's frowned upon.

Self defense should be a perfectly viable defense cases of tasering street preachers. After all, we should be allowed to defend our minds as zealously as our bodies!

Many years ago, I was helping set up chairs in a public library conference room for a meeting on the library's decision to add a copy of Madonna's photography book to the collection.

A 'Christer' showed up early and wanted to chat with me. One of his first questions, asked in a 'harsher' tone was what religion was I. I truthfully answered I had recently attended some MCC services.

IANMTU, his tone and demeanor instantly changed, and he suggested we go out for a bite after the meeting!

I declined, having met enough crazy people in my life at that point, but I have always wondered what would have happened.

I have a special sardonic grin for street preachers. It is so condescending and dismissive, they give up pretty quick.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Just politely say no
