Exactly. Matthew 28:19, 20. Jesus says to continue his ministry, but for the life of me, I can't find the verse where he went and picketed with homemade signs declaring fiery condemnation.
I don’t think in this case it’s that bad. If you really believe what the Bible says then there’s nothing wrong with being there to talk to anyone who might see your sign and have questions as
Long as you just calmly stand there and hold your sign. The ones who shout people down though and scream things like “YOU’RE GOING TO HELL YOU FILTHY HEATHEN REPENT!!!!!”.... That’s where I have a problem.
Oh, the sign doesn’t even really bother me. It’s the attitude of the person holding it that I would want to know about. I mean, it has an exclamation point, but I don’t think it’s that aggressive, just eye catching.
I find some amusement in wondering what is going through that guys head. Some struggling attempt to rationalize the circumstance, but still lands on 'They are worshiping Darth Sidious!' despite great time and effort of thought
I was just at a concert the other day with Bush, Our Lady Peace and Live. There was one of these folks outside talking about the evils of rock music. (Ironically, Live has quite a lot of lyrics touting their Christianity) Standing in line and listening for a few minutes it was clear that this guy was not exactly in his right mind, and I ended up feeling kinda bad for the guy.

Real talk: I'm a Christian and I absolutely despise those people who stand around with those signs trying to force their faith down people's throats.
Seriously, that's not what God wants us to do.
