Both hate Catholicism, how can you not consider them enemies?
Edit
Thus far those two heathen groups haven't actively shown their disdain for Catholicism as a group. No need to be concerned of them
I think we need to be more precise with the words we use. The word "enemy" is a very strong word. Enemies want to destroy you. Enemies oppose you at every turn. Enemies burn your churches to the ground, rape your wives, pillage your village, and ride off with your horses...
Gays simply disagree with certain aspects of Christianity, specifically those aspects that portray them as evil sinners who will burn in hell... That is all. Every other aspect of the bible they accept and just want to fall under the purview of Christianity that believes they can be saved just like anyone else.
If they can marry, then they would be no different from heteros. Premarital sex would be a sin just like it is for heteros.
I am just a layman, but I know that there are biblical arguments concerning homosexuality not being defacto un-redeemably evil.
Maybe no one sees him as having much character. I mean, seriously, who takes on a little girl ?
It's a losing proposition on a variety of levels.
I completely agree. The second someone handed her a flag and took that picture, he lost. That picture is completely at odds with the situation (thank god for video).
In the video, I did not consider him bullying, he is just street preaching. You have to raise your voice to be heard. Shouting in and of itself is not bad, it is just projecting your voice. There is no anger in his voice, just increased volume...
Has shouting at random people ever convinced those people of anything?
Let alone be considered compassionate?
This kind of preaching seems little more than a cathartic outlet for the preacher, which I find inappropriate in general(shouting at random people) but especially when directed towards young children.
If they want to protest. then protest; don't start picking out people to shout at.
The word "shouting" has a negative connotation denoting an element of anger. That is not the case here, there is no anger in his voice, he is merely projecting. There is nothing wrong with what the street preacher was doing.
I don't mind street preachers as you never know how their words will impact some. Sure, some people will find them annoying, some will just ignore them... but there will be some who may be hit with the words and made to think about them.
The only thing I would do differently is change the sign. I don't like the "Jesus Saves from Hell" aspect of street preaching. I would prefer simply, "Jesus Saves" or "Jesus Loves You"
She walked into the middle of him speaking. He did not change how he was speaking when she walked up, only began looking at her. He was still addressing the crowd in general though. It was not threatening nor inappropriate. Again, if she is emotionally able to take such a stand then why should we say that she is not emotionally able to handle the response. If she cannot bear being talked to in the way she knew he was speaking then she is not emotionally ready to take that stand in that way or setting. By the way that she was high fiving and stuff it looks like she was fine. She obviously didn't feel threatened or scared of him. Jus sayin
