Utah street preacher Lonnie Pursifull

• Religious Intolerance

A conversation with well-known Salt Lake City pest Lonnie Pursifull. I didn't know the World Wide Street Preachers' Fellowship existed. Even the demented get organized in 21st century America.

A federal ruling allows Pursifull and colleagues to demonstrate at this weekend's LDS General Conference, though they must remain in city-mandated zones. Pursifull, 39, lives in Duchesne, and when he isn't on the road protesting activity he views as "not Christian" -- the annual Hill Cumorah Pageant in upstate New York; gay pride parades and Jehovah's Witness and atheist conventions -- he lays carpet for a living.

What is lonnie persifull's problem? not only does he hold up signs and desecrate sacred emblems of our religion, but he accosts 12 year old girls that are only planting flowers on the plaza. when those girls started singing songs and ignoring him, he makes this comment; (not trying to be offensive, I promise)"I would rather be gay than fornicate with you." to twelve year old girls who got the better of him. is this a christian point of view? first off we are all gods children no matter what we do, secondly he has no right to judge us, or to attack our youth. I honestly wonder what is wrong inside his head. If he claims there is nothing, I feel sorry for him. Squirm

It is disgusting to see and hear that still these days we must deal with such religous bigotry. What did the LDS church ever do to Lonnie and if Christ were here today we he merit such acts. He desecrated our Holy Garments and reviled us. If we are sinners as he says we are should he not be showing love and mercy as Christ did?

Lonnie is seriously disturbed, anyone with such a useless obsession should be institutionalized and get the mental help they need. What a useless human being he is.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Utah street preacher Lonnie Pursifull. 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
