In this particular case, he has no audience except a banana and a time traveler, so you could also just ignore him. Nothing worse for him than a day of nothing happening.

About 25yrs ago we had a flurry of these types invade. So we pulled some strings, got permission, and started having local bands play the main spot where they wanted to preach during the busy part of the day. Drown them out. The best was our local death metal band where the guitarist dressed up like a priest in a gimp mask and the singer wore a prison jumpsuit and nylons over his face. They condemned it but left. Also, mid-day death metal in the center of campus is something to behold.

Ya. That doesn't work either. What does work is doing the exact same thing they do. Get a sign write on it "Christianity is bullshit. Prove me wrong" and stand there.

Don't look at him, don't engage. When he does finally say something tell him that he's oppressing your beliefs and he deserves to burn in everlasting hellfire..

Never, ever try and engage these people on their terms

Instead, simply call out to their face what they actually are.

Heckling can work when you've got a crowd on your side. But when it's just you with your paper sign shouting slurs, you end up looking like the asshole instead of the folks you're jeering.

At some point, you have to engage with the premise. Or, at least, put forward your own beliefs and positions. If it's just a contest of vibes and mogging, the person with the professional experience in those fields is going to win.

I'm not religious, but the thought of God planting the seeds of life and letting it do its thing is a way better story than him just snapping his fingers.

I don’t think the Bible denies the Big Bang. It doesn’t say how he created the universe except that it took 7 days which is a mistranslation anyway. The Hebrew word used in the Torah for day is ‘yom’ which means era.

In my opinion it’s very easy to reconcile the creation story with science.

What sad times these are.

When ruffians can go around saying Ni allowed to old women.

Here are the arguments theyll be sure are winners:

says in old book. You not have old book.

2

DIE UNBELIEVER!

hello, morality officer? Yes, i have an unbeliever here.

You're arguing with a straw pigeon. There's no logic to convince that person. You could put them in a time machine and walk them through the evolution of life and they still wouldn't change their mind.

Not a believer, but I recently learned that a correct reading of the original Hebrew doesn't say he created everything. He created the waters and the earth from the void that was already there.

Back to the sign. Dude is making the claim; he has to support it. Evolution is the most proven theory we have, it has been tested over and over. He'd first have to understand the basics of evolutionary theory, which I guarantee he doesn't know; he wouldn't be there if he did.

Having attended several red state universities, I chose to take it as a statement that alongside the ubiquitous plaza preachers, who are never affiliated with the school and are generally no one’s favorite campus characters, there’s also plenty of standard college silliness and shenanigans. Apart from the big blue cities, the college towns of the south are generally the most educated and forward thinking enclaves of their red states, hence the huge pressure campaigns from their governors to being the schools themselves to heel.

Proof that we still monkey
