Crazy Christians

Ok, don't get me wrong, I'm "Christian" (But I just don't practice it), my father and his whole side of the family is very Christian, and went to church every sunday. My mom converted to Christianity after my brother was born and before I was born, and I support anyone who chooses to follow a religion. I may not agree, but that's chill. I respect your opinions and such...

Except if you go on a campus or anywhere preaching negative religious beliefs. I was walking back from my Poli Sci 201 class today when I saw a preacher standing outside of the Fishbowl, and a large crowd around him. There usually is one or two other preachers, along with a bunch of Greenpeace and Voter Registrars. I'm ok with all of that, but anyone in their right mind would be against what this guy was saying.

He was holding a large sign, professionally printed (Who would do that?!) that said things like Jesus Saves, and "It's not too late for Homosexuals, Drunk Partiers, Muslims to be be saved." 
Holy shit.
And that wasn't the only things it said. There were many insulting things on the poster, prejudice against many peoples. Luckily I had both my Voigt and my OM-1 with me (Only shot with the OM-1 , a roll of Tri-X 400). I took a few shots, then noticed what was on the sign, and shot more. 

I thought Jesus was all about acceptance in beliefs of others, as well as promoting his beliefs in a passive, unobtrusive and uninsulting way?

The roll of Tri-X should be done soon (I'm on 20) and then I should be able to get it back either tomorrow or Friday, depending on when I finish it.

I think my mom is going to hate how much I'm shooting now haha.
