I was told, "You are a woman, you have no voice," by a campus preacher on Turlington Plaza Monday afternoon. I was outraged. I was even more disgusted by the preacher's wife who stood in the distance saying nothing. I was also called a drunkard, a whore and a scantily dressed woman. I was pointed out by one of the preachers Tuesday while walking to class and bombarded with the same accusations. I was certainly not the only one.
These street preachers are ignorant bigots who come here to accuse college students of living in sin. They claim to commit no sins themselves, and for that, they are hypocrites. They are not teaching love of God, but fear of God. If anything, they are turning students away from God by saying we are all going to hell. Please do not give them the time of day and maybe they won't come back.
