Meanwhile, street preacher's stunt backfires

[Warpy]

and this self styled street preacher from Texas a lucky to escape without being beaten to a pulp. This is still the wild west.

Religious bullies are bad enough, but religious bullies picking on little kids are the worst.

1. This douche took "suffer the little children" literally.

[Deuxcents]

2. These people have no joy in their lives. Their doom and gloom knows no limits.

Christofascists, MAGA and their cult of hate on full display everywhere and a kindergarten is the perfect place to set up and try to destroy the innocence of children. I’m so sick and tired of all of em.

4. People here sent this cockroach skittering back to Texas

Yep, he went home and is out of our hair.

Sometimes I love this town.

3. "Jesus said preach the gospel"

Yeah but did he say "Be sure to be a ginormous prick" pretty sure he didn't. Guys lucky he didn't get his ass beat in that suit

5. I've seen Santa.

I've never seen Jesus.

6. I took care of him as a patient 40+ years ago

He had white curly hair and a bushy white beard. His big belly was from liver cancer, alas, not carbonation from Coca Cola.

Santa Claus is Irish, by the way. His brogue was so thick you could slice it.

7. Exactly.

8. He is not a "self styled street preacher".

David Grisham is an actual pastor from Amarillo. He often does similar activities, he used to be the head of Repent Amarillo.
One of the things in my life that I'm most thankful for is that I was finally able to escape Amarillo.

9. Self styled because he wasn't preaching anything

He was just pointing the bony finger of shame at little kids and their parents while verbally shaming them via bullhorn.

Understood about Armarillo, I feel the same way about escaping Dixie and for probably many of the same reasons.

10. The religiously insane

Making life miserable for children everywhere.

First they have fits over Halloween because you know demons and evil spirits are just so real. So cut out the trick-or-treating, and quit having fun.

And now you can't let kids have fun on Christmas because Jesus? Technically they both are Fake but Santa is fun and the other is all about suffering. So do away with the fun one?

How long would that idiot last if his sign read Jesus is Fake?

[Warpy]

11. I doubt this guy is religiously insane, he's just a bully

who found that religion gave him great cover for bullying.

I worked in a state mental hospital back in the day and being religiously insane landed a lot of people in for a stretch of pills and talking to nice men in white coats. Most of them got well enough to go home.

I do know the difference. This guy is just a middle school bully who found new victims.
