No right to book cover judge

There is a guy who stands outside the Old Navy on Washington and State with a little speaker and a microphone preaching gloom and doom for those who do not believe in God. He also makes no allowances for gays, regardless of belief in God, because God brought down nothing but misery to those who copulate without the possibility of procreation.

Even though this man has every right to believe as he does, I feel that he has no right to literally harass passerby with his religious zealotry. For instance, I wanted to go to Old Navy with a friend of mine from school and she remembered the time with the man shouted anti-gay epitaphs at her. She was alone in a crowd of people and he picked her out and told her she was going to hell for being gay.

It was too late to change our approach as we neared the store, so I brushed this off simply by saying, "Everyone cool is in Hell, or going to be."

We laughed and sneered at the guy who was engaged in a conversation with someone. His instincts caused the microphone to raise to his lips when he saw us, and I almost leaned over to my friend and said, "We should make out in front of him, that'll get him!" But I didn't, I just walked by and let him be.

He's been standing on State street saying things like that for years, even as many as ten or fifteen. I guess it's his job, his mission, and he's not going to give up any time soon.

just beware if you're around there....
