Mood: 
So I saw this guy holding this sign on the corner by the malls. If you can’t make it all out (I shot it with my phone through the car’s front window), it says “JESUS IS LORD”, and in smaller letters, “OVER CHILLIWACK”.
What is he trying to accomplish? The way I figure it here are the things different people will think as they pass:
Christians: “Oh good, there are lots of Christians here.”
Muslims: “Heretic! I feel oppressed and will declare Jihad on this Chilliwack!”
Non-Christians: “What a fucktard.”
Buddhists: “I hope he doesn’t get run over.”Okay, I don’t have much insight into Muslims or Buddhists. Sue me. The point I’m trying to make is that he’s either preaching to the converted, or drawing insults, or pissing off people who have differing religions by claiming that this is GOD’S COUNTRY.
Am I wrong? What’s this guy’s motivation?

He is crazy.
He is the same guy who is often on that same corner with a Pita Pit sign, and when he isn’t doing that minimum wage job, he has a huge and chaotic sign protesting abortion. A couple of weeks ago I was trying to cross Yale at Hodgins and he was on the corner talking to a couple of the thousands of Christian kids in town for some retarded thing at Prospera. I made the mistake of overhearing him as I waited for the light to change and then I lost it and started calling him a misogynist and a lunatic, etc. Bad idea since that is the sort of attention I think he wants, and he seemed to enjoy having a chance to give me his ludicrous opinions.
Occasionally I think I’d like to toss some eggs at him or something, but he is really best ignored.
How can you think someone who believes so strongly in something as irrational as an all-knowing, all-powerful, totally-undetectable supreme being would have any kind of rational reason as to why he does something like that?
Honestly, it’d be more rational to stand at the side of the road holding a sign that says “I Like Pie” because at least that’s a provable statement.
