Hold signs in silent protest? Get a singing group together and do a little "Kum Bah Yah" just to make sure that a message about a loving God is presented, too? I think standing in the face of evil is really hard and scary. Good for you for doing it.Lisa McDermotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09063836641188521263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3793394081160776023.post-52588013514661655992016-09-15T05:33:52.461-07:002016-09-15T05:33:52.461-07:00We thanked this group of kids for standing togethe...We thanked this group of kids for standing together and standing up to hatred. These preachers have riled me for the last year. They have yelled hateful things that are offensive to me. Paul has gone up to them and said that the gospel of Jesus preaches love and that they are preaching hate. They told him he's going to hell. <br /><br />We were downtown on a Sunday evening this summer, walking along Division St. when no one was out but them and they turned their shouting directly at us, "Catholics are going to hell. Presbyterians are going to hell. Lutherans are going to hell". <br /><br />They are armed with lawyers protecting their First Amendment right. They have proclaimed that we all should carry guns. They have clearly proclaimed and demonstrated that a woman's place is in the home (their wives are NEVER with them). They are mentally ill.<br /><br />It makes me angry that our tax dollars are being spent to have police presence whenever they are out. I'm glad the police are there because these men scare me but I think they should have to pay for their time. <br /><br />I'm not proud of the time that they were screaming about the evilness of homosexuality and I couldn't hold my tongue. I yelled at the top of my lungs "F.U". It felt so awesome then it didn't because I stooped to their level. They called me Jezebel and evil.<br /><br />We've been told it's best to ignore them but it's hard when they are so loud, so disruptive and so hateful. It's hard. You can't argue with "stupid". <br /><br />If they are the ones going to heaven, I'd rather not. Sometimes when I see them, I sing the lyrics from Billy Joel's song, "I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints". <br /><br />Treatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03704314265525196864noreply@blogger.com
