Yelling preacher fined $100

• Christian Fundamentalism

"I refuse to pay," Anderson said after his trial. "I'm not going to pay a dime to a city that arrests a preacher for preaching the Gospel. I'll sit in jail. I'll rot."

He'd been found guilty of yelling too loudly - "you're damned to hell" - at people in a Clinton Iowa Halloween parade.

Last I checked, the Gospel was Matt, Mark, Luke, and Jack. I don't remember the gospel saying anything against Mardi Gras (It didn't exist yet, and it's rooted in Catholicism, anyway) or that 'thou shalt not parade, lest thou shalt go to hell.' They weren't arresting him for 'preaching the gospel'. They were arresting him for being an arse and disrupting a parade.

I'm a Christian and I have to agree--the dude was way out of his league.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Yelling preacher fined $100. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
