Annoying People Is Not Courageous

We get them in Australia too, but they tend to be far less in-your-face. Some hand out card-sized calendars with their church on the back, some just preach and don't address anyone specifically, some offer Christian newsletters.

I've only ever encountered one 'American Fundy-Style' preacher. He was preaching on a bus on the morning commute. I took out one of my uni books on human evolution and began reading that out loud too. He began yelling over me and he followed me off the bus and into the university. I led him towards the campus security office and he finally backed off. On the bus, everyone was ignoring him until I spoke up. Some awesome people applauded me. Apparently they were regulars familiar with the preacher and didn't appreciate being lectured at on their way to work/school.

That's fantastic.
