Christians with bullhorns

Skeptics & Atheists

Fundagelicals make pests of themselves at the American Atheists convention.

Outside, it was far from quiet, with a dozen members of Repent America, a Philadelphia-based Christian group, holding a sidewalk vigil with banners and bullhorns.

"We just want to share the gospel truth with the atheists," said Nancy Major, 53, of Phoenixville, Pa. "Everyone needs to hear it because eternity is at stake."

But another convention-goer, Sandra VanMaren, 44, of Chicago, found their tactics offensive.

"I don't go to their meetings with a bullhorn," said VanMaren who was clutching a bright blue bag with a "No God" sticker.
