God Wants You To Be Intimidated
So how does one deal with the type of "religion" that mandates prosthelization by annoyance? These people truly believe that they have not only the right, but the duty to verbally attack and harass peaceful members of other religions who want nothing to do with them. THeir right to choice of religion means nothing to these people in the wake of their spiritual frenzy. The only rights that matter to them is their right to shove their religion in the faces of those who have made other choices. Am I angry about this? Damn straight!
God Wants You To Be Intimidated:

Some further information has arisen in the Grand Rapids "Freedom To Harass Us" case. To quickly recap, a group of preachers affiliated with The Street Preachers' Fellowship have filed suit against the city of Grand Rapids, Michigan, after a police officer ordered them to disperse and threatened arrest after they congregated at the Grand Rapids Pagan Pride Day celebration last year. While the preachers are claiming their free speech has been violated, others have put forward that the preachers were harassing and intimidating attendees (the organizers of the Grand Rapids Pagan Pride Day are withholding any public statements on the advice of their lawyer). Now someone identifying themselves as one of the preachers involved in the incident has posted a comment on my original blog entry dealing with the case. "Curt" starts off by explaining that true Christians won't act meek or peaceful. They embody a vengeful "Jehovah" who "hates" the wicked when they go out to minister.
