I use to use public transport going to work (parking was an issue). Each 
morning there was a very aggravating ittle man preaching to everyone and 
holding his religion up like a shield. One morning a young woman got on 
the bus wearing a rather short skirt. This self proffessed preacher kept 
on about sin of this and that and she had a lot of nerve dressing as she 
was etc. The bus driver eventually stepped in and wrned him that if he 
didn't leave her alone and keep his views to himself that he would put 
him off on the next stop. He did shut up, but as she was getting off the 
bus, he looked up at her and said "I'll pray for you. I looked over at 
him and said."Son, I think you'd better pray for yourself. If you need 
to continually try convincing all the passengers on this bus that you 
are such a good christian, then perhaps it is yourself who you are 
trying to convince of your conviction. Have you forgotten "judge not" or 
do you only see the portion of the bible that suits your views?" Its 
amazing how individuals that terrorize others (mentally or 
physically)always use their religion as the reason (actually an excuse) 
If religion were their motive, they'd be serving their fellow beings not 
shooting them.
