View Full Version : religious freaks on trains

what is up with these freaky religious people preaching on the train? this morning, i had one in my train. he was walking up and down the rather crowded car loudly pontificating about heaven and hell. he claimed that lucifer fell to earth, and that this was hell... with our "fire and brimstone and nuclear weapons." i don't really see where having fire is on par with having nuclear weapons, but that's really neither here nor there. then he said that, if anyone didn't agree, they could "go to the church and take up your dispute with the pastor." but i thought he said "bastard" instead of "pastor" and i sort of giggled.... this dude shot me the nastiest look - i think i just proved his whole earth is hell theory for him. anywho...
what i don't get is why these people do this. i mean, i don't have any problem with people saying what they want, and trying to persuade others to their point of view or whatever, but come on... i am not a religious person, and having some dude yelling over my walkman about brimstone on the path at 8 in the morning is not likely to change my entire view on life and god and all that. religion and faith is some pretty serious shit, do they really think that subway ramblings are either appropriate or helpful?

I've seen these people on the Metro down here in DC. I always wonder if they have jobs and, if so, why aren't they at work? And do they preach at work?

I dont ride the train that much, but theres these bunch of guys, young, clean cut, they wear suits and ride mountain bikes around my neighborhood. They preach door to door, annoying pedestrians here and there. They are SO STUPID! They speak like twenty different languages so that they can bug anyone they come in contact with. I dont know what it is about those people. Why would I want to join your church? So that I can go and preach door to door on a mountain bike wearing a suit? I ll stick to my comfortable sinful lifestyle thank you.

They may be Mormons -- excuse me...Latter Day Saints.

these people annoy me sooo much. sometimes i feel like i'm a target for them..."hey let's convert the pagan"....it pisses me off that people feel the need to convert people because they feel their way is the only "true and good way"....

I was on the E train last weekend & this annoying wacked-out dude rambled on & on about Salvation. Drove me up the wall. But I had to laugh when some guy asked him if the Lord could perform the greatest miracle -- get the Knicks in playoffs.
He also quoted the Book of Revelations and used the word "jiggy" in the same sentence. Weird.
Pray for Mojo.

I had a smelly communist accost me almost daily while commuting from my high school.
If you want someone to spread the word about your cause, please don't send out a smelly guy. It's offputting.

Here's a helpful household tip: you can get the mormons to do stuff around the house for you. As my family is Mormon, they track me down everywhere I move (Arizona, California, Chicago, Virginia, DC). Last place I lived, I talked to them for an hour about the history of Indonesia, (funny, they weren't interested), then I had them take the garbage out for me. Did it a couple times after that. Tusslable little helpers they can be.

People who push their religious views on ANYONE are the sick ones. I tell 'em all to go screw. Unless I need my garbage taken out.:)

Every morning, they're in the subway stations. When I climb the stairs, they're waiting for me with their pamphlets and their hootin' and their hollarin'. Get a job, you freaks!

Two Words: Captive Audience. That is the only time they can speak and nobody runs away.
If you pay attention to what they say, usually they have done something horrible in their lives and I believe the guilt from that drives them to be fanatical. I've heard them mention drug or alcohol addiction, gay sex/prostitution, and domestic abuse.
If you're ever feeling froggy and want to get a rise out of them start challenging their beliefs. Tell them that you live what would be considered a "moral" life but you believe all organized religions are for the scared and weak.
It's fun and educational.

he claimed that lucifer fell to earth, and that this was hell... with our "fire and brimstone and nuclear weapons."
Now I've seen fire, and I know there are nuclear weapons, but brimstone? I haven't seen any brimstone. Does anyone know if the sell it at walmart?

i dont even mind the more harmless ones, personally. you know, the ones with the pamphlets and who try to stop you and explain their views. i mean, i dont want to hear it, i really dont care or wish to be converted. but at least they're just doing their thing and you can walk away if you want. it's the really pushy ones, or the ones who are yelling and trying to be frightening that bother me. sorry, but you are not going to scare me into your religion, idiot

Some guy was hounding me in Times Square Station the other day to worship his God. The picture showed a guy with two big lumps in his pants, wearing a pimp hat.
Wait, you don't think???
