Every time I see a religious person with a sign and megaphone I think this person has so much time to rehearse the Bible but no time to research if what they are saying is true. For them it’s a never ending cycle of believing anything contrary to their belief is false.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.When I see them, I'm reminded of Matthew 6:5, a verse I also keep handy for door-to-door Thumpers: “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full."

Reminds me of the Christians I run into sporting large tattoos of crosses. “Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD” (Leviticus 19:28)
Classic faith (belief without evidence)
It's not just those with signs and a megaphone. There are some on this website that promote faith over reason. - - trying to reason with them is like trying to sweep sand off the shoreline.

I love Ambrose Bierce's definition of faith (from The Unabridged Devil's Dictionary): “Faith, n. Belief without evidence in what is told by one who speaks without knowledge, of things without parallel.”
Everytime I see someone with a Megaphone I give Megashit regardless of church, politics or social justice. I fly solo.

BLIND FAITH! Almost impossible to have a discussion with these people. These people are ignorant, and becuase they are ignorant they live their lives in fear of everything they don't understand, which is alot. Their faith is all they have to hold onto.

The religious guy with the megaphone is the main reason I always carry an airhorn. Even if I don't use it much, it really seems to bother these religious megaphone people every time I pull it out and give it a blast in their ear.
