If they struck out the “on buses” or “on public transport”, it would be better.
" I preach on commercial vehicles because not everyone is able to go to church on Sunday. There are a lot of passengers who need our message of salvation to repent from their sins"
How has this man remained unbeaten
I already repented. Do I still have to listen to this every fucking day on my commute?
Whenever I see one of these I heckle the fuck out of them, it genuinely makes the ride go so much faster, I appreciate they volunteer as verbal punching bags before work, it gets me pumped for a good shift in the coal mines.
In some African countries, fundie preachers – styled after American tent revivalists – are almost everywhere to the point of omnipresent as evidenced by the large number of banners for local pastors running their own tentpole ministries. Their influence is so enormous that they even warp government policies, as in the case of Uganda and entrenched anti-homosexuality panics.
So this is a change. Like people should have the right to have peaceful uninterrupted conveyance.
You see that across levels of development. There are giant glowing banners in Johannesburg that are rather distracting when driving at night. Not sure how many thousands are in those megachurches.
No living creature should be forced to hear religion yelled at them in public areas simply because they can’t leave the area.
Yeah they need to make this a rule everywhere, and especially on flights.
Even if it’s not a rule, people like me are sometimes around to whisper even crazier shit into their ear from behind.
Preaching on commercial buses was first prohibited in Ghana in 2012, with offenders facing up to 30 days in prison.
But enforcement was weak and so the practice remained common, particularly on buses. The new law beefs up the penalties for those that flout the ban.
Makes sense why BBC News changed the title; that’s fairly misleading.
I heard American airplanes need a law or two like this one.
Seriously, you can punch someone on a bus (its frowned upon) but punch someone on an airplane and your going to have a bad time.
Dude, it’s the white mans religion. It’s been used to fuck over every damn culture that’s ever encountered it. Of all people, you should veering away from it rather sharply.
Damn, I have never seen someone preaching in a public transport. Most I have seen is asking for donation for religious organizations. I have seen preaching being done on campuses and I used to do some preaching on my campus for a year (from a different religious background btw).
We have them in this big mall in Sweden. God knows why. Most atheist country in the world, although maybe that’s the point (and maybe that’s changing for the worse).
I had a whole script prepared to go there and take their spot before they showed up and be like HELLA fire and brimstone, like Old Testament shit, but I moved abroad. It’s still something I really want to do.
Just screaming at people to repent, and they’re all sinners, and how dare they, and plasma will shoot out of the eyes of THE LORD to smite them on their way to work or buy a tank top or something.
Best part is I would be right. They should be ashamed of themselves. All of them ALL OF THEEMMMMMM
