ULPT Request. Christian Hate Street Preachers
Posted by grammar_fozzie@reddit | UnethicalLifeProTips | View on Reddit | 236 comments
I need tips to traumatize a group of people back…
In my city, there’s a small group of Christian whackos who go to any and all public events with their megaphones and scream fire and brimstone, call people names, call women whores, etc….you get the idea. These are primarily family events where there are many with small kids.
I already have an ultra loud, amplified megaphone. I’ve got some loud portable speakers. What can I do, legally, to really get under their skin in a way that:
1 - makes them look even more ridiculous than they already make themselves look?
2 - keep it family friendly?
I’m a big dude and, as such, not afraid of physical intimidation. I live in a stand your ground state, so I’m in my right to defend myself from any physical assault.
One thought I had was to get a donation jar with price list on it that outlines how much and to which nonprofit organization I’ll donate to for each time they threaten someone with eternal damnation, say a prayer in public, etc.
Any input is welcome and appreciated!
Something_McGee@reddit
Post an ad asking gassy people to stand next to them and constantly rip ass at these events.
Something_McGee@reddit
Ignore them at these events bc they're looking for a reaction. You're looking for ways to give them what they want.
Perhaps you should focus on ways to prevent them from attending the events.
Also, there are biker groups in some areas that will gladly help deal with these people.

In Phoenix a group of us would make street preached bingo cards and hand them out, giving prizes for blackouts. It drove them nuts when people would beg for the words they needed, like whore, hell, sinner, etc. After awhile they would try to avoid those words or give up. It was an awesome way to turn the tide from an angry crowd giving those nutters what they wanted to frustrating them with our mirthful solidarity.
ulose2piranha@reddit
There's a video going around of a hate preacher on a college campus lecturing about how alcohol and fornication were evil. Her rant is ridiculous, but I love the students's reactions. They were cheering her on when she screamed things like "After 2 drinks, she'll put your penis in her mouth! After 3 drinks, she'll put it in her anus!" It was pretty amusing.

New head canon: God invented gays after the great flood because Noah messed up and didn't always grab 2 different sexes. That's why the rainbow was invented.
Stubborn_Amoeba@reddit
Every Christian Noah’s ark children’s book I’ve ever seen always shows two male lions walking on to the ark. These idiots are so backwards in biology they don’t know what a female lion looks like
CrossFitMathIsHard@reddit
I google searched "Noah's Ark Animals" and was sadly disappointed to find accurately represented male & female lions. I SO wanted to add fuel to my future arguments! If you have a link to a book, I'd be much obliged.
Stubborn_Amoeba@reddit
it went pretty viral a few years ago.
I guess since then the conservatives have made a concerted effort to fix it as all the books I can find online now are either M and F or just one male lion.
Here is a link of the original story plus lots of examples.

Westboro did this a lot when being disgustingly at military or gay funerals. Grieving family members are less patient, sadly.

Damn, you lost me at keeping it family friendly. I was going to encourage you to repeat an epic performance I'd heard of where a guy ate a huge bowl of chocolate pudding using a dildo as a spoon while standing next to one of these guys.
Maybe get the butchest guy you can find to dress in drag and stand next to them lip-syncing their bullshit and mocking their gestures? Or even just play some good music and dance right next to them.

Water balloons.
Go on eBay or Etsy and buy a bunch of cheap, old wigs. Start throwing them at the street preachers. The surreality is the important bit.
Make some glitter bombs out of toilet paper or Kleenex. Craft herpes, for the win.
A FoaF from college used to sing show tunes at them at the top of their lungs. You've got a megaphone so you're halfway there.
ocrohnahan@reddit
Play copyrighted music. Usually these 'preachers' are live streaming for money. copyrighted music will get the stream blocked and make any recordings unusable.
Hey_Laaady@reddit
Audio can now be erased from videos, so this doesn't consistently work anymore
SphericalOrb@reddit
You mean just the music stripped and the speech left alone? I'm not familiar with the latest audio tools. I have seen reels/clips that are fully silent due to copyright but not one with non-music audio intact and music removed.
If they're preaching and they strip all audio, their words won't be heard and they seem attached to those.
RivenRise@reddit
I also doubt church people are that tech savvy. I've helped a number of them through the years and their tech is always duct tape and what their tweens can help them with and we all know gen z isn't as tech savvy (i dont mean this as an insult i love my gen z people) as millennials were at those ages.
Hey_Laaady@reddit
This is a very recent development in audio editing, which is why not everyone is aware of it yet. It may not even be perfect in all circumstances, but there are ways for interested parties to attempt to do this with AI and other tools and they have been successful enough that they will post it.
If you Google "How can music be removed from a video while keeping spoken voice?" then you will see that a lot of options come up.
SphericalOrb@reddit
Not sure the uber religious street preachers are going to catch on to that one for a while. Here's hoping 🤞

You could read from Matthew, especially 6:1 to 6:8, repeatedly:
" “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
^(2) “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. ^(3) But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, ^(4) so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
^(5) “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. ^(6) But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. ^(7) And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. ^(8) Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him."

In college, I had a roommate fresh off the jet from Thailand. He told us about meeting some nice people in the quad and that they gave him a book. We asked him to show us the book, and of course it was a Bible. We told him they were crazy and it would be much better if he never talked to them again. He said they were nice and friendly and he was going to church with them on Sunday. A few weeks later, I asked how his church experience had been. He told me, "Those people crazy. They just want me go church." They were calling him at all hours asking to pray and other ridiculous stuff. Some things you just have to learn for yourself...

JoyDVeeve@reddit
Ask them repeatedly about how they feel about Matthew 6:6 and several verses after that. That's the one about how god hates people who pray outside where people can see them
ahkian@reddit
Lol those people don't actually read the Bible.
-WARPING-@reddit
That verse in isolation is very different to what Jesus ended up doing, what the disciples do in Acts, what Isaiah was doing during the exile. Everyone needs to understand the context of the passage as a whiole.
ahkian@reddit
My point was people like this just listen to what their pastors tell them is in the Bible instead of actually reading Scripture. It wasn't meant to be about that particular verse.
buttchugreferee@reddit
Their whole purpose is to try to provoke people into attacking them so that they can sue whoever is responsible for the location for not protecting their first amendment rights.

deferredmomentum@reddit
I’m an ex-fundie and I love going toe to toe with street preachers. Most of the time they have zero formal Bible education and never get deeper than god loves x and hates y. An atheist with a theology degree from the fundie version of their denomination (they’re usually Baptist in my area) is their worst nightmare
SuspiciousLookinMole@reddit
Pissing off JW's and other missionaries at my door with real Bible quotes is my favorite way to deal with them. Our house was completely blacklisted in one neighborhood - the JW's would actually cross the street to avoid us. I would smile and say good morning and even raise my coffee cup. They hated that I was nice AND smarter than them.
18 years of daily scripture study will do that tho.
deferredmomentum@reddit
Right? Hitting them from both sides, like here’s why you’re wrong using your book and here’s why your book is wrong to begin with
EastAd7676@reddit
This is my go-to action as well.
dogtroep@reddit

slickback69@reddit
Babbling like an idiot should do it, and convey that youre as dumb as they are to engage them. They wouldnt be there without a reaction.
Leonhart726@reddit
Man, I'm a Christian, but fuck do I hate how 9/10 other Christians I've ever met act, because it's this. This shit pisses me off and gives a bad reputation to the whole thing. Mainly, why the fuck should they care what other people do and why tf do they not believe in things literally proven in our world. I'm at the point I genuinely firmly believe any true remaining Christians should be as far left leaning and liberal as they come, because hate speech is fucking ridiculous, and the shit the right puts out to appeal to them is just plain blasphemy, but it fucking works, because these people are stupid and I swear they've never actually read the Bible before, and if they have, it went right over their heads and they took every metaphor and teaching so literally even ones meant only for certain people at certain times, and treat everything as sin. What's worse is they refuse to look inwards, I swear they're all some of the worst sinners I know, but just say "oh hun, we're all sinner" like that makes hate speech better. No Karen, you're not making hateful comments because they're a bigger sinner than you are (hypocritical either way), you're making hateful speech AND actions, becuase you personally don't like it and think you own the world.
Plethorian@reddit
My "Passive-Offensive" protest kit: Carry a Pool Noodle. Bring lots and share them. Great for video, and for bopping people. Protects against attacks.
Wear a 10,000+Lumen headlamp. Even in daylight. Blinds opposers, Makes them highly visible on video.
Learn to play the vuvuzela. It's a remarkably fun instrument to share with assholes.
UltimatePickpocket@reddit
Fun part about using instruments to annoy people is that you don't need to know how to play them.
Plethorian@reddit
True, but one does tend to explore, and eventually exploit the capabilities of one's instrument. If it's good enough for those royal trumpet-sounding guys in the movies, it's good enough for me!

I was going to suggest dressing up like a clown and play the circus theme music at them, but that works too!
OverdoneAndDry@reddit
That circus theme is called Entrance of the Gladiators for some reason.
CosmicTurtle504@reddit
Because it’s a circus, which is the field upon which gladiators would battle (ie “circus maximus”). More so known for chariot races, but still.
gadget850@reddit
In modern circuses, it is played uptempo as a screamer.

Drown them out with your own protests?
Signs include
Trishlovesdolphins@reddit
I went to college in Lawrence, KS. Base of the westboro baptist "church."
They turn up on campus, graduations, any event... show up in KC for large events.
Best thing the locals have found is to counter protest by setting up a table and committing to stay there until they leave. Choose any LGBTQIA nonprofit you'd like. Make a bunch of signs asking for donations and and for people to pledge to donate based on how long they stay. Once they realize they're actually raising $$ for what they hated, they'd move on.
Be mindful, a lot of the WBC assholes are attorneys and will do anything and everything they can to get you to assault them or do something illegal they can go after you for, and they will.
Stubborn_Amoeba@reddit
I saw a simple but brilliant example.
An anti gay whacko used to go to every gay event and heckle/preach etc.
Someone used to stand next to him with a sign that simply said ‘goes to every gay event’ with an arrow pointing at the guy.

Katja1236@reddit
Hold a fundraiser. Collect pledges based on how long their preaching goes- so much a minute, say- to be donated to a charity they HATE. Planned Parenthood, the Human Rights Campaign, the Trevor Project, whatever.
Make a VERY public display and be sure to thank them sweetly for their fundraising help.
No_Answer_3659@reddit
Narrate everything they do in a David Attenborough voice like the tweaker geographic guy
TheDMisalwaysright@reddit
Join them, but exagerate their message.
"Jezus thought us to hate you, only hate will get you into heaven. Stop loving your fellow man, jezus' message is to hate and condemn, not love and forgive."
"Your love will get you hell, our hate will bring us heaven"
"Hate is your salvation, anger your redemption. Stop trying to make the world a better place, god made the world evil cause he wants us to hate"
"The only thing I hate more than myself, is my fellow man"
Etc.
PossibleDry3663@reddit
I read somewhere that these types aren’t really trying to spread their message, they want someone to get upset and punch them so they can file a personal injury lawsuit. Might be some truth to it.
Forsaken-Cattle2659@reddit
Yea, they did this every year at my college \~10 years ago, they finally got a kid to fall for the bait and tried taking him through the ringer. Can't recall how it ended though.
The best advice is to totally ignore them. They want attention and conflict, so don't give them anything.

AreThree@reddit
in my misspent (?) days as a wayward youth, delinquent, and punk, our favorite weapon against obnoxious street preachers was a water pistol.
Just walking up to them and squirting them a few times isn't quite the right tactic. We found the most effective thing to do was get our small gang together (4 or 5 people), load up the water pistols, surround our target, and douse their fiery rhetoric by the liberal application of water, and by yelling:
If they were still there after a few minutes of this, even the most stubborn of them would soon pack up and leave if we simply stood there staring at them and occasionally punctuating their verbal diarrhea with a shot of water directly to the face. It really is difficult to continue your train of thought when a stream of water from an unknown direction keeps hitting you on the nose.
Once or twice we were joined by the nearby shopkeeper and their garden hose.
Occasionally, my friend "Small Sam" (a 7ft-tall menacing looking chap who was actually just a big teddy bear) would also repeat each word or every other word the preacher was saying - loudly - but off-tempo or in a funny voice, or with a cockney accent. Random interjections of silly-sounding words, ("bumfuzzle!", "widdershins!") delivered at great volume would also throw off their game.
I suppose looking like we did - mohawks, leather jackets, piercings, safety pins, and all the rest of it - helped too!
A couple of times the preacher got the attention of a passing police officer and complained about us, and each time the cop would just laugh and continue on their beat...
OdysseusJoke@reddit
Play "The Time Warp" louder than the preacher can scream and encourage dancing
whyisitsofuckingcold@reddit
Play silly music over your megaphone any time any of them try to talk. Stop it when they stop, start it when they stop again.
I also like someone else's idea of handing out bingo cards. Make a couple tshirts that say "I went to hell and all I got was this lousy tshirt" or something like that and give them out to winners.
ZeligMel@reddit
Jesus would definitely not take that megaphone and camp outside their church on Sunday, screaming provocations throughout their service. WWJND.
People should be able to say whatever they want on the street, but a megaphone and speakers impedes on the rights of others. Their voice shouldn't be able to drown out others.
HalfaYooper@reddit
Get a bubble gun and a clown horn. Load them down with bubbles and honk the horn to make them look stupid.

Get large signs with bible quotes that are the opposite to their message, have them all around the group so they can’t be missed.
Use loud air horns each time they say something like whore. Then everyone yell “language you ****** - I can’t think of proper thing to say”
See if some bikers will come and just sit staring at them.
See if some truckers will bring their trucks with air horns.
Squirt them with holy water
EragonBromson925@reddit
As someone who was raised by a couple of Christian truck drivers, I can guarantee if you can find one with some spare down time (that's the hard part) they would 100% be on board.
These kinds of people give proper Christians a bad name, and most truckers are more than happy to have an excuse to just lay on the horn. Bonus points of someone has kids around. Because then, if anyone says anything, the trucker has a ready excuse of "The kid did the arm pump," which any self respecting trucker will honk for.

PeacePufferPipe@reddit
Better than getting a megaphone and meeting them at their level, would be to make some signs positively stating how Real Christians should be acting. Christians aren't necessarily followers of Jesus. Actions speak louder than words. True Christians aren't permitted to judge others and call out their sin. True Christians would lay down their lives for their enemy. Praying for them all the while. So, make some signs that state: Are those people over there really , truly, Christians ??? Because they sure aren't acting like it.

Ezekiel 23:19-20.
Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt. For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
Gogglesed@reddit
OP, This is really all you need if you do it right. The bible is an apocalyptic death cult manual that contradicts itself and reality constantly. It is actually fascinating how terrible it is and how many people claim to live by its lessons that have never read the thing.
If you want some good ideas, Justin, from Deconstruction Zone on YouTube has many hours of conversations with religious people, showing them why their religions are crap. He even has a cheat sheet that you can access for a few dollars per month. That would give you a lot to work with. Good luck.

Blast some death metal from your speaker. Get some friends together and open up a circle pit wherever they decide to settle

If they always stand in the same spot, just lay down some manure before they get there. Line the whole street. The city might even thank you for fertilizing the flowers.

Wear some old, disposable clothes (buy some used at Goodwill if you don't have any). Douse your clothes in LiquidAss. Stand close to the preachers. If they can offend strangers with their sound, you can offend strangers with your smell.

I've always found great success in telling people you'll pray for them to be more like. The more flowery the better "I pray that Jesus will touch your heart and teach you love" "I pray that the Lord will open your eyes and help you overcome your hatred and fear" etc.
Gogglesed@reddit
Except that praying doesn't do anything, so you're essentially just telling them that you'll think about them more later on.
agurlhasnoshame@reddit
Obviously I don't actually pray for them, but I've found they struggle to find a good comeback for it

Laughter is extremely effective for dealing with fascists. I'm a big fan of large "I'm with stupid" or "this is a weird hobby" signs. Making them look like the sad little weirdos they are is effective.

Honestly, Christianity is just a hate group and shouldn't be tolerated by society. It should be normalized to point out their bigotry and make them ashamed of being part of that shit instead of just accepting it becuase they're a big mainstream organization.
There are exceptions or course, even the pope seems like an alright guy, but it sure seems like the majority do nothing but spew hate and judgement based on bullshit.

The way their scheme works is they try to provoke the local government into somehow suppressing them, and then they file lawsuits (and win) on first amendment grounds.
diablodeldragoon@reddit
First amendment only applies to the government. If the sidewalk gets tired of your bs and beats the snot out of you, it's not a 1st amendment violation.

Use your megaphone to transmit back everything they say, but with about a second of delay. This will short-circuit the speech center in the brain, making it extremely har to keep focus on what you are going to say next.
Its called Delayed Auditory Feedback (DAF). You can even try it online here: https://www.clicktorelease.com/code/speech-jammer/
zamfire@reddit
I figured out how to bypass that. I work at a call center and the amount of times I get calls where I can hear my self talking with a half second delay is silly. So I found a way to mentally tackle that problem and actually continue to talk.
The trick is to focus on your own voice as it leaves your mouth. I know that sounds odd, but try it..

I knew a guy with an eidetic memory, and high functioning Asperger's.
He'd stop, listen for a minute, then ask which printing of the Bible they were using.
Not which version, but which printing. He'd tell them the page and paragraph their statement came from, then recount the surrounding paragraphs that gave context for their crazy quotes.

I think you are on the right track with the donation jar. Just set up a bunch of jars for different causes like Planned Parenthood, a LGBT cause, a soup kitchen. Sell Bingo cards for $1 with their hate slogans and play along. When someone gets a Bingo they get to choose where the donation goes to. Everyone passes in their cards or pays another $1 to play the 2nd round.
Make a poster explaining the rules of the game - Or better yet, advertise the bingo game on social media so people actually seek you out.

Bring your own bullhorn and play their own words back at them. You'll either get feedback or they'll hear their own words with a second delay (which makes anyone stop talking).
Bonus points is they are the only people in control of it. If they hate it, they should stop talking, it's just their words and you're just using the same tools they are, without the annjoying preaching.

Ultrasonic directional speakers. Some are so accurate that you can target a single person in a group...
Imagine one of them hearing 'God speaking directly to him' and none of the others hearing a thing...

If you really want to get them in trouble, tell them sexually graphic things about their religious icons. You’ll get at least a shove and good cause to punch someone out and press charges.
Or use your megaphone and pick a guy and say how he’s super into gay sex and you matched on grindr.

You need to find a chapter of Black Israelites and convince them to go to the same events. Black Israelites are hateful roastmasters. If you can pull that off, go there, pull up a chair and enjoy the show. But stay out of view. If the BIs see you, your ass is getting roasted too.

MostBoringStan@reddit
Make them sound like a joke. Don't argue with facts, but with how dumb they look and sound. Ask people walking by if they have any funny insults to say on your megaphone. Remind them to keep it family friendly first.
Make up a story about how you had passionate nights of love with one of them, but when you broke up with them it destroyed them and they turned into this.
They won't make it physical with you. They want to play victim to all the "hateful and evil" people out there. They can't do that if they are the aggressor. But they will probably turn their attention to you and try to goad you into an attack so they can have you arrested and sue you. So make sure you are prepared for that and don't fall for it.
