  • PREACH PREACH PREACH on Australia God is just getting me back on my feet, he had to set me aright in terms of sins so I don't preach hipocracy. so we gawn do the same here, Speak those words into the atmosphere I am sure they don't get offended at gay pride rallies. Nor do they get offended at Muslim rallies. OR Yogi shows. rock stuff etc

  • Street preachers please remember that with wisdom and sound advice is warfare engaged. But PREACH on remember to use wisdom and not be pushy, however i don't think preachers are pushy the people they preach to are convicted, and convicted people do two thing they repent are they rebel and cover their sin.

    Haha Australia is better than America and definitely Europeans as for Europe tisk tisk tisk sorry guys i guess you will like Allah since Jesus was to kind for u

  • I used to get bullied quite a lot at school. Sometimes they would all stand in a circle, yelling abuse at me and not allowing me to get on with my day. Did they have the 'right' to do that? Absolutely not. Street preaching is the same. They have the right to say what they want, but NO ONE has the right to bully other people, yelling, pushing, forcing opinions and most of all, threatening people with the idea of eternal torture.

  • man cannot serve both god and money

  • thumbs up if you saw athesim is a demonic disease and agree

  • One party is worried about sales and the other is worried about the eternal state of the people....... Hhmmmm

  • Funny, I get people ringing me up all day disturbing my peace wanting to sell me windows or get me to change energy suppliers or phone cmpanies but when I want to tell them about Jesus and eternal life NOT in hell, they are not interested. If youve warned them they have no excuse on the day.

  • street preacher should be treated like shit. they should be the new village idiots.

  • and muslims will get enter the heaven even if islam waz not right

    couz jesus forgive us all

    and at jowz the believe < just to believw in god <<

    and thats what we do :)

  • allah has a father !!?

    bible nvr say that god had a father !!

    therfor bible is missedup < sry for that

    but that is not a way to understand anything <3

    the only god in the world is allah < and he had no sons < if he have onr so mayB he have a father

    and a whole gods family :S

  • after killing all the aborigines, robbing the land, gold & all the wealth they now got religion. hallelujah!

  • "Go ye into all the world and PREACH the gospel to EVERY creature"--God bless you for your service to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!

  • @goswonavy AMEN!

  • If you don't like what their saying walk away.

  • Clearly the only reasons that action is taken against these preachers is because there is financial gain at stake. They would just tollerate the preacher or at most make fun of them. But take away the profits and people get very unhappy to the point of wanting to remove these people's right of public free speech. Not any of these bystanders really cares for these preachers ...it's just self preservation in action. The LOVE FOR money is indeed the root of evil.

  • @Esther74 a Big Amen to that Esther ! You said it right !

  • The christian teachings that they are espousing are immoral, and we all need to oppose immorality. I question street preachers all the time, but it it is much better to do it in a friendly way. It is not always easy I mut admit.

  • Probably not the most effective way to preach! No one will listen if you are so pushy. I reckon the best way is ray comfort style, personal 1 on 1.

  • free speech

  • God has prophecied to us and showed us signs that a rapture is very soon.

    1- Julia gillard will be removed from being a prime minister

    2- the econemy will collapse

    3- there will be no food on the supermarket selfs

    4- a man will be a prime minister who will create laws to supress christians who still obey the bible, baptists and penetecostals

  • @darkaus32 So in your bible, it specifically said Julia Gillard will be removed from being a PM? In your bible it says there will be no food on the supermarket selfs (get a spell checker dumbass ...)? Yeah yeah yeah ... and it specifically says that the anti-christ will come to America and will become the president. You fuckers really need to stop making shit up to try and sway the intelligent people of the world that you are right and we are wrong. I see no proof of a god's existence anywhere.

  • @darkaus32 "a rapture is very soon"

    Oh look, another rapture believer. You probably followed Camping and his May 2011 prediction ... revised to October 2011 ... now on hold indefinitely.

    On what grounds do you predict this any-day-now event? Camping used numerology and a liberal ad-hoc rationalization of bible passages. What part of the bible are you going to use, and how will it be more valid than the ones Camping chose?

  • So that woman wants the government to silence the Christians huh? Sounds like Nero all over again.

  • Keep preaching the gospel brothers and sisters God Bless all of you. Sinners love their sins more than God, The bad spirits within them hate the word of God so you are getting to them

  • *Moves to Australia*

  • Truth is truth. It does not matter whether it meets your standards or not. If Jesus was who he said he was then you have no choice but to bow down and worship Him. Despite thousands of years of persecution and rival beliefs, Christianity has survived and will continue to survive until He comes back.

  • Hail Satan Hail Satan, praise be to Satan, what ever happened to secular state! I thought we have a right to freedom from religion. Jesus condemns these types of preachers.

  • Our protest was NOT against religion. Our protestors were gay, straight, black, white, religious, atheists, all joined together to say 'HATE SPEECH IS NOT AN AUSSIE VALUE, AND IT HAS NO PLACE IN OUR MALL'

    We don't want to destroy this group. We just want to be able to shop without being abused.

  • @sorryranga1 But apparently you and they just can not ignore the Gospel of Truth. That's what I would do instead of creating a fracas.

  • Didn't know Aussies were this intolerant and hostile hotheads

  • @asdf234233

    And proud of it

  • @baptist1611 Proud of what? Im not an English but a cricket fan. Im a little familiar with your land. But being proud of being hostile unreasonable reactioneries? No sense at all.

  • lets get the church of the flying spahgetti monster in there,preaching right next to them. thing is, were can it head, with islamists,catholics,mormons,je­hovahs if they allow for one, then they must allow for all. interesting to see how it pans out. personally i wouldnt have anyone preaching like that, its insulting to the public.

  • It would be interesting to see what happens if you put the westboro baptist church idiots with these preachers... It would be the most ridiculous thing ever, "no we're the chosen ones", "no we're the chosen ones"... They're all just completely absurd attention seekers.

  • In Australia it is considered rude to and stupid to talk about politics and religion in casual environments. Preachers should keep the preaching in their church and politics left to the professionals bullshiters. There is a common saying here "No Politics or Religion at the Dinner Table". We don't stop people from talking, we just knock 'em off their soap box. I think good job, get rid of the christians. 8)

  • It's all about the money! These people will do anything for money! They will allow the establishment to brainwash them into submission. Time is running out in this world and your money won't do you any good, especially when you stand before Jesus Christ for final judgment.

  • These men preach the truth. Such boldness is so rare. Mark 16v15 at work.

    But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world(Satan) hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. 2 Cor 4:3-5

  • @1JOHN5v20 Poor God, can't even stop satan. Your God is an infinite fuck-up.

  • Those preachers are there only because they don't want others to burn in hell. Jesus has paid for their sins on the cross, so they don't have to suffer in hell for them.

    The Christians are offering to dying people a remedy for their disease, but instead of thanks they get hatred and abuse. Yet they continue to plead with them to receive the truth. May God open those sinners' eyes!

  • @baptist1611 The preachers are offering people a cure to the disease their religion created in the first place. This is not love - it’s a mobster shakedown.

  • @askegg

    This disease - "sin" - is not a creation of religion, but is the result of man's rebellion against God (Romans 5:12). If you want evidence of sin, the effects of it are plain to see: sickness, pain, sorrow and death. Christ wrought victory over sin and death by His own death and resurrection and offers life eternal to all who will receive Him.

  • @baptist1611 And “sin” is something your religion says a god does not like. Christianity says you are born sick and commands you to be well on pain of eternal damnation, all while pretending to be the pinnacle of morality and decency. You have been brainwashed - wake up.

  • @baptist1611 Oh, god damnit, it's about "Rebellion", isn't it? Yes! People look at porn because they want to rebell! I FAP IN DEFIANCE OF YOU, JESUS CHRIST!!!

    If God is omnipotent, then he didn't need to do any of that. Gawd...

  • @baptist1611 Which appears only in your bible... Wow, look at you giving us an example of offering people a cure to the disease their religion created in the first place.

  • @askegg Correction. Choice of sin, being separated from the Lover of your soul is the issue.

  • @Brucev7 “Choice of sin”? Firstly, “sin” is anything your god simply says is wrong, so the entire concept hinges of the existence of a being you have not yet demonstrated. Secondly, what sort of person would knowing choose temporary temporal pleasure if it resulted in an eternity of pain? The decision is an easy one if your god can be shown to exist.

  • @askegg He has imprinted upon our conscience. We know the difference between right and wrong. His handiwork is seen in design, in Nature and in us. His order in the Universe, distances between the Moon and the Sun. The tilt of Earth's axis. Yes, why would a reasoned person choose a season of pleasure, and then desire to be separated from a loving relationship with the One who created them in love?

  • @Brucev7 Who has imprinted what? Zeus? Apollo? Thor? Did Poseidon put the moon exactly where it needs to be, and how would you know?

    Seriously, it’s a MASSIVE leap from any of these pathetic “proofs” you offer to any god in particular. You think about that.

  • @askegg I thought you might be more learned. Those are all of Mythology. Where is the Historical and Witness manuscripts of them?

  • @Brucev7 So it real *because* it’s written in a book?

  • @askegg Is Biology real only because a text book says so? Romance? Mathematics? Relationships? Only because a course study says it is?

  • @Brucev7 We can study all those things empirically and derive new knowledge from those observations.

    Your holy book is the antithesis of empirical study - it provides no better answers than 2000 year old ancient humans could know; answers which are, if not outright wrong, otherwise wholly inadequate for modern society.

  • @elronxenu Actually many things, such as atmosphere, places, people, customs can be tied to Science, Geography and Historical manuscripts. You should study with an open mind. 

  • @Brucev7 ....but not so open your brain falls out.

  • @Brucev7 Historical manuscripts provide a glimpse of the ancient world. They do not prove gods or miracles.

  • @elronxenu Really? How can you deny people?

  • @Brucev7 What?

  • @Brucev7 Biology, romance, mathematics, and relationships are true because there is empirical evidence to support them and we can make predictions based on the ideas. If (say) we test prayer - it utterly fails to demonstrate any effect beyond random chance.

  • @askegg Really? Explain love in romance? Sense of security?

  • @Brucev7 This is all very abstract. Please show how your god exists. Thank you.

  • @elronxenu Show me how if I feel cold @ 20' and I'll show you God. 

  • @Brucev7 Wait - you want @elronxenu to verify your personal experiences, which demonstrates your god somehow?

  • @Brucev7 Love is an emotion - an attraction to another person. This is reflected in people’s behaviour towards each other.  We can reasonably predict the behaviour of people who love each other (at least with respect to each other). This is an example of the predictions we can make given certain hypothesis about the world.

  • @askegg Exactly. You can only show an outward expression, facial, laughter, not tangible or an explanation of what it is. Or a result of an action from love. But still not love.

  • @Brucev7 In other words, there is no evidence for your god. Bad luck if you picked the wrong one!

  • @Brucev7 Facial expressions and laughter ARE empirical - we can observe them, record them, even measure them.

    I also note that no expressions of love I am aware of involve asking people to kill their children, or killing your own child to to remove a curse you imposed. Nor does do loving beings drown entire planets, level cities, of turn people into salt. Is god’s “love” somehow different?

  • @askegg I think you realize by now, you are not able to.

  • @Brucev7 Not able to what?

  • @askegg You have to get with the program. God is undefinable, ineffable, thrown analogies in the air, smoke and mirrors. Asking Brucev7 for solid facts or evidence or indeed argument of any kind seems pointless. I wonder if the first 6 versions were this insipid.

  • @elronxenu You’re describing every argument with a believer I have ever had.

  • @Brucev7  "Explain love in romance"

    Oxytocin. Enjoy.

  • @Brucev7 See Hesiod's Theogony, or Hittite texts which reference Kumarbi. The ancient world is replete with texts which claim knowledge of gods.

  • @askegg OK. You show how if I bite into something bitter, that is real first, and then I'll show you God is real.

  • @Brucev7 allah is the one and only true god, you infidel.

  • @kram83au Moon god. Exodus 34:14 for ye do not bow yourselves to another god -- for Jehovah, whose name is Zealous, is a zealous God.

  • @kram83au Kram You sure don't know the Vocabularies... "ALLAH" as a Word means " God"... Not an ISLAMIC GOD !! its just like saying "Dios" in spanish means "GOD" ! Dios doesnt suggest Spanish God... so keep your Poor Performance to yourself..... Allah or God is one.. & His name is YAHWEH/JESUS/Y'SHUA! Well... if you are still confused..... you better do some homework after the words i gave to you !

  • jinu03  allah is the true god. [wink]

  • @kram83au LOL... so You finally agreed that Allah is a Title.. !! Good learner... & Yes Allah (God ) has a Name... His name is Yahweh/Y'shua ! PRAISE THE LORD !

  • @jinu03 not the sharpiest, are you. your faith is only as strong as anothers.

  • @kram83au allah is not God. :) if allah is god where is Jesus ? the bible says that God had a Son, koran says allah never had one.. therefore allah is not God..

  • @Jesusesthelord read posts below and throw some reasoning into the mix ,you self deceiving fool. think before you print.

  • @baptist1611 let me see if i understand your comment. these "sinners" need to accept a "remedy" so they're not sent to hell for "sins" that have already been paid for by a man no christian has ever proved existed in the first place, and they're the ones who need to have their eyes opened? please...

  • @maxdecphoenix

    Anyone with an objective mind accepts the historicity of Jesus Christ. On the other hand, a Christ-rejector who is attempting to justify their pre-conceived world view will childishly bury their head in the sand and reject the historical evidence. Your mindless fanaticism has blinded you to the facts. Nevertheless, your unbelief in the person of Jesus Christ will not help you on judgment day. Nor will your unbelief in hell make it any cooler for you.

  • @baptist1611 the only historical evidence of jesus, is the bible. which is comprised of stories written hundreds of years AFTER his supposed resurrection, that remained uncompilable, further still, for decades after their authors died. Also , your continued attempt to scare the christianity into me and failure to address the logical paradox i proposed is noted, and is a tacit admission that you cannot form an intelligent rebuttal to such a glaring contradiction.

  • @maxdecphoenix

    I understand your position. Eye-witness historical testimonies cannot be regarded as credible evidence if they are written by Christians (especially Jewish ones). I understand that. The part I don't understand is your implication that there is some logic underpinning your blind ignorance.

    It's fine if you want to choose to be a fool, but please don't pretend there is any credibility to your folly.

  • @baptist1611 I'm done here. that's now your third reply and you haven't even pretended to talk about a question i put in my first comment, and instead utilized the christian-apologetic standard policy of repeating 'your going to hell' and now you're trying to insinuate i hate jews and calling me a fool when it's apparently you who can't understand when a question has been asked of you. good day christard.

  • @maxdecphoenix

    No doubt you regret ever making the ridiculous assertion that "there is no such thing as Jesus!", LOL. You didn't expect that someone would expose your idiocy. I can understand why you would now want to beat a hasty retreat. I tell you what. If you apologise for your rash and false statements regarding the Lord Jesus Christ, I'll let you go without ridiculing you any more.

    BTW, I didn't call you a fool...God did (Psalm 14:1).

  • @baptist1611 only thing i regret is that YT lets religious morons on their site. what idiocy have you exposed? you've now replied 4 times, and have still yet to answer a question levied in my first response. that's not "exposing," that's "dodging." a practice that should be pretty unnecessary for a person who supposedly has "god on their side." Jesus can do what i've been asking him to do the last 20 years, suck my dick. I'm still waiting for his "punishment."

  • @maxdecphoenix

    I'm happy to see that I've got you to finally admit that not only do you believe in the existence of Jesus Christ, but that you have prayed to Him.

    Now we can see that your problem is not questions relating to the existence of Christ, but that you love your sin (particularly your penchant for homosexual felacio), and the knowledge that God is going to judge your sin terrifies you. See John 3:19-20. Your parrotted assertions are nothing but a front to cover your fear.

  • @baptist1611 reply #5 in which you still are dodging questions.

  • @maxdecphoenix

    LOL @ you still pretending you have some legitimate argument. I've succinctly squashed your fallacial assertion that "there is no such thing as Jesus", and you just shot yourself by admitting you pray to Him, yet you're whining about "dodging". LOL.

    Just be honest and admit that you would believe anything (even the religion of evolution) as long as it doesn't involve a Creator to whom you must give account.

  • @baptist1611 p.s. sorry i can't find a bible laying around, i used it to wipe my ass.

  • @maxdecphoenix

    Your responses are degenerating to petulant references to your private anatomical parts. You know you can't win. Why continue making a fool of yourself?

  • @baptist1611 reply #6 & 7 where you still have dodged answering a question i asked over a day ago.

  • @maxdecphoenix

    Hmm, you said "questions" before, now it's "question". I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about, or what question/s you imagine I'm dodging (otherwise you'd repeat it/them). You ran out of steam five comments ago when you said "I'm done here", yet your pride forces you to keep coming back to get the "last word". XD. I'm enjoying this.

  • @baptist1611 questions/question oh boy you really got me. oh woe of woes. why would i repeat something when it's clear in black and white up the page? btw #8 you've now dodged.  continue "enjoying" looking like a fucking troll moron.

  • @maxdecphoenix

    Ok, I finally get it. The "dodge" nonsense is your inane way of saying you concede defeat. Well, I accept your capitulation. You should have known better than to take the devil's side. Read Revelation 19:20...the guy's a loser...as are all those who follow him.

    Now let's hear it one more time with feeling...

  • @baptist1611

    how do you know the bible is gods word? can you proof you are right and the other religions are not?

  • @baptist1611 may you open your eyes to reality,not myth,magic and fantasy...get help for your delusion..there is no devil,heaven,hell,and all the other christian fantasys that come with dogma and,blind faith.

  • In Europe street preachers get ignored. Simply as that.

  • @SeltsamerAttraktor An look at the state of the country. I prefer the Australian version... You stand up on a soap box & preach, we kick the soap box out from under you.

  • "Insanity of religion?'"Jesus Saves you from the 'Insanity' of Sin and worldly lusts. Joh 14:6

  • @Brucev7 SEX IS EVIL!!! Vicarious redemption is insane. Eternal torture is insane. Creating sex and then calling it a sin is insane. Trying to reason with fundies is like fighting a wall...

  • @Keitaro2011 Free will does not mean "no responsibility." "Fundie" Homosexuals, Atheists, are without reason except by their natural minds and understanding. Limited, fallen, depraved.

  • @Brucev7 When all else fails to prove the legitimacy of your religion, try to attack them for being human and limited! That'll shut them up!

  • @Keitaro2011 When was that being done? There are many Apologists who can defend, teach and correct for about the Christian faith. Not about Religion. Also, merely pointing out what is. Your need to defend your religion shows a need for a change in beliefs to be in accordance to God's plan.

  • @Brucev7 "are without reason except by their natural minds and understanding"

    Thats because thats all that exists... You can invent any unfallsifiable fictional character you like, buyt there is demnonstrably nothing beyond the natural word.

  • lol 'Insanity of religion.' Jesus Saves you from the 'Insanity' of sin and love for worldly trappings. Joh 14:6

  • Yes, why don't we become a communist state and ban ALL freedom of speech on pain of death or life imprisonment. You morons don't know what many people in this country, and others, went through to give us our freedoms and now you want to put a stop to it. Why don't you go to somewhere like Saudi Arabia if you want tightly controlled laws governing speech? You might not like their message. So what, grow up and get over it.

  • @leewist Actually mate, Australia has no freedom of speech laws.

  • Too right, we need to see this attitude to spread to other cities in Australia. The street preachers should never be given a free forum to spread their bullsh!t.

  • I see it this way. They are preaching that this whole world is going down whether we like it or not. They say Jesus is the only way out. By turning from sin to Jesus they say He will save you. I would say that if you don't want to believe this message then fair enough you don't have to. I can't see it as being a threat though. When will people grow up. There was a time in this country when we were mature enough to let people say what they want without trying to kill them!

  • This is a difficult one. I'm an atheist and sometimes, depending on the calibre of christian I encounter an anti-theist. I agree that everyone has the right of free speech. Censoring them just because you don't like the message is never a good thing. I wonder however, if I would feel the same way if I owned one of the shops being blocked by this mob of idiots? Defaulting on my mortgage repayments would make me a bit intolerant.

  • Its not free speech - its gobbledegook. If a bunch of dickhead bible-bashers want to stand in public and rant and rave then they should expect to get their dumb arses kicked! They chose God so chose to have their freedoms taken away....Fuck them!!!!

  • @Owltalons hey I am from Adelaide haha, but you are right...

  • They can ignore them f'n weak minded sheep

  • Censorship isn't the solution, but those protesters bringing it up as one, against those ridiculous Christians is a great way to bring attention to the issue of religion, and how harmful it can be.

  • Wow!! I find it interesting that people blame God for suffering, diseases, mines blowing up people's limbs, homeless etc.. What do we never blame ourselves for our own devices.

  • @peefnow

    Not all diseases are man made, idiot.

    So if someone suffers, they have nothing to do but blame themselves and others? You're a real confused sick fuck.

  • lol... adelaide... the city of churched, and nothing else

  • These Christians need to know that the jews are right

  • If this is private property the mall owner should have the right to kick them out if they wish to. Sorry but free speech does not apply when trespassing. I can not go into a church and disrupt the service telling them their god is bullshit, the same standards should apply to this.

  • Get them fuckers outa there, they spred like a cancer in the stupid and weak.

  • great sign at the start ha

  • EVERYONE HEAR THIS!!! Dont be fooled by the element of this protest as you are certainly being lead into the trap of government propaganda. If you stand against and allow the government to ban this type of protests, then your allowing the government to ban all protests. Humanity needs protests to keep our rights and prevent humanity being forced into tyranny and enslavement. You have no idea how much our government wants us to shutup and follow them blindly. Think about it

  • @TheOzTruth You are wrong. Yes you don't want an Orwellian situation of big brother. But society's problem is that we are so afraid of infringing on someones rights that you can't tell a bunch of nut jobs to get off your property. They should be saying stop acting mental, get out and stop talking shite to our customers.

  • See I don't see this as a freedom of speech problem. No one is saying that they can't speak, or preach, just that they can't do it in a shopping mall. What is so damn wrong about that? When I go shopping I don't want preachers down my throat. This is not a freedom of speech problem AT ALL ON ANY LEVEL, to say that it is is misleading. What about freedom of being able to shop without being harassed??? Why is that not worthy of protecting?

  • Free Speech doesn't give you the right to say whatever you want, whenever you want, wherever you want.

    If I want to talk about my Nazism, I can't kick in the doors of a kindergarden and start reading Mien Kampf aloud.

    The Mall owner can kick them the eff out for harming business (at least in the US)

  • The preachers are the ones that think they can stand in the open and tell everyone that they are going to he'll if they don't obey the bible, the protesters are standing up for us sane people

  • To be honest you are not allowed to force religion on to somebody. Invading a public mall is immature. Keep your practices in your churches. Those who want the help of "God" can go looking for it. Don't bring it to atheists. K thanks.

  • Please, please good people of youtube don't let these morons influence your opinion of Christianity, they certainly aren't engaging in Christlike behavior or succeeding in saving anyone, there's no love there. Oh Satan, how you fool them.....idiots. I find it amusing how one of the preachers labels others 'sinners' when infact every human on earth is a sinner a true Christian accepts his own sin and combats it.

  • @timewarlord Sin is created so that people feel guilt, this leads to being controlled. There is no such thing as sin. It's a fabricated notion. Religion uses it as a weapon to force people to keep believing in a god that never existed.

    There is no sin, you are innocent of any sins. Don't worry about it. Enjoy life.

  • Also here is another thing, freedom of speach in most countries like e.g. the USA doesn't include threats. These preachers are threatening you to follow them or GO TO HELL. This qualifies as a threat. Thus usually not protected by freedom of speach.

  • @Mglosk They are not threatening to hurt anyone - they are saying their imaginary friend is going to hurt you.

    There is no actual threat.

  • @richo61 Um, it's the same thing. Follow us, our way, or our friend is going to punish you for eternity. Same thing. If I said to you, my friend is going to shoot you, if you don't do as I say, that's a threat.

  • @Mglosk

    Some people have friends who have guns.

    It's a plausible threat.

    "I have a genie in my magic ring and he is going to fuck with your spiritual aura and turn it green!" is just gibberish.

    I dont feel threatened by nonsense.

  • @richo61 Right, "you" don't. A ton of other people do, that's how they have so many followers.

  • @richo61 hahahahhahahahahhahahahahaha

  • Matthew 5:7. Ye shall shut the fuck up.

  • Can't wait till they prove religion doesn't exist. The look on their face will be priceless.

    Religion = #1Menace to society.

  • Comment removed

  • The beautiful thing about the bible is its self refuting, its very easy to find something in their that will say what they're doing goes against god etc etc just bring that to their attention

  • Tell the street preachers to read their own book. Matthew 6:2: Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 6:5: And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, Etc.

  • Census results show that Adelaide has the highest proportion of atheists in Australia. It's curious to see religious crazies in Adelaide respond to this by banding together in public gatherings and being agressive and confrontational towards members of the public. It's very rare to see the crazies gather like this in other Australian cities. You see the occasional lone crazy with a bullhorn or sandwich board proclaiming, "The end is nigh! Repent! Repent!" but hardly ever groups of crazies.

  • The preachers are created chaos, hatred and aggression. How is that an act of God?

  • ffs preachers piss me off, believe what you wan't but don't shove it down people throats assholes

  • @bartonim thats sad to see you have no time for religion when you think completely false things, all religion has done is bring joy to my life.

  • @CrazyOnTheWall Joy to your life, and death to millions.

  • @baldmother no man of god would do that, i highly doubt he was a preacher. He broke a commandment, therfore he sinned.

  • Haha ive had an pointless argument with that bull dyke in the yellow jersey outside of Flinders street steps one night here in Melbourne. The preachers were harrasing young groups of girls heading out to the city calling them sluts and telling them they would burn in hell etc etc. I actually would not have cared at that point if someone was to walk up and punch the preachers straight in their big fat ugly mouths. Im not promoting violence but i would not have intervened...

  • The dude who edited this video is a one sided pig fucker

  • the preaches are not causing shoppers away, its those hippy protesters

  • You post that violence and silencing free speech are not the answers, but I whole-heartedly agree with many of the posters here who say private property is private property. If it were my property, I would have every right to act against this. The preachers are clearly taking advantage of a situation and need to be told it is not only unacceptable but possibly illegal. How would they like it if I stepped into one of their churches and promoted atheism? Seriously, it's the same thing.

  • Can't agree with you askegg, at leased on this issue.

  • The best way to combat the religious is to ignore them. Every protest against religion is a way for them to cry "OPRESSION" :-( If I organised a protest it would be to boycott the mall on the days the preachers were there! A few days of them praching to nobody, not to mention the mall being empty (very bad for business) and they have been beaten and look like a general nusiance. (bad for publicity and recruitment) These people just want attention, even if it is negative attention!

  • How strange that people feel the need to combat the idiots by being idiots.

    You mock, you laugh, you peacefully counter protest. But they have every right to preach/protest the same as you.

  • @Widgetas Do they have every right to preach in a mall? On the street, fine; in a mall, which is basically a private business, no. What if they stepped into a supermarket and did the same thing? It is no different. They can use the street or public parks to shout their messages, but malls should be off limits--and that goes for people of any political stripe. Much as I hate a lot of big business, I don't think there are many circumstances that justify this at all.

  • @bartonim Ah well a private 'mall' is somewhat different. Why is this even an issue? The mall should be able to eject *any* people they don't want there. Where are their security or even the police to give them a hand.

    The fact that they didn't do that would imply to me that it's an open shopping centre (public) rather than private?

  • hey deluded preachers, shopping mall is not a mental asylum, try Jerusalem !!

  • hey i've been there

  • I think that the best way to take care of it is for another group made up of both religious and non-religious free-speech advocates to protest the protesters while not endorsing the message of the original street preachers. Give it a week and then add another group of protesters to protest those.

  • Are they on private property? If the mall is considered private space then the owner/ manager of the mall is entirely within their rights to have them removed from the premises. Certainly violence is not the answer but i dont think i saw any violence. The arrested person was arrested for taking their sign, thus theft i would think not violent behaviour. Yet, this is not the best course of action. Lastly i dont think they should be silenced, but freespeach doesnt mean free property.

  • @askegg you cant say that its unacceptable.....you can see it is absurd.....

    "free speech issue" indeed.....

    but for a good cause.....?

    besides isnt that what churches are for.....

    these people have places to do what they do...

    like sex workers have "brothels"

    to work in....theres a place for everything.....
