My Rants and Celebrations

A simple place to put my thoughts down...

Friday, May 05, 2006

So today I saw something that made me laugh. There was a guy outside the Memorial Union today "preaching" about how you should fear God and off all the bad things we do and how we are going to go to Hell. I use the term "preach" loosely as it was more like yelling at us and trying to scare us.

As I watched him, I was thinking to myself, "This is not an effective way to convert someone to a religion." I think many people would say the same thing. How effective is would it be to yell and scream and shout at people about something that you want them to believe in? I know that I would not even listen to them, as I did not take this guy's words into consideration. While he was talking, a student came out of the union with his own sign that said: Jesus Would Hate This! And honestly, I'm sure he does. I'm pretty sure that in the Bible Jesus did not go around to people yelling and screaming at them. He went around and told stories... and he spoke them nicely....

Oh, also, this guy also said that the Roman Catholic Church is not a true religion, he bashed the Jewish faith and Jews in general, and he said that all fraternity boys want is sex. I only stayed for about 10 minutes just out of morbid curiosity.

Enough of that. Today I am going to the Twin Cities area to see Eric Schmitt get married. Aaron is a groomsman in it, so I'm like his date. I'll be driving down with Joel, Erika, and Robin. So I should wrap this up as I have to pack yet!!

There is some merit to the comment he made about frat boys only wanting to have sex. If he would've added that they also want beer, I guess that would've been alright.

Wait- all of us men are like this. My bad.
