I have been here since 1986 and I never heard anyone discussing religion in a group in public, thank Dog!

Not here.
And this is a blood-red rural area.

He goes to Denny's after the bars close to preach to the drinkers who are trying to enjoy their Grand Slam Hangover Cure. His life is nothing short of a train wreck no home, no phone, estranged family but he persisted in trying to recruit to the occult that is his crazy church.

Been like that since I moved here in 2006. Because I am an amateur Bible scholar (albeit an atheist), I sometimes listen in, mildly amused at their utter failure to grasp scriptural doctrines.

You hear the word "Christian" on the street - referring to political candidates, schools, businesses, people, study groups. Nine to four Republican/Democrat. However, I have seen NO Trump signs in yards in two years; a few still seen on cars; will be interesting to see what sprouts next year.

If they were talking about unicorns and fairies I'd probably just chuckle. I don't really care what they believe I just wish that they would keep it within the walls of their churches.

The first time was in Tennessee. It really took me aback. We are from the midwest and had never heard or seen anything like that. There was actually 2 groups with leaders who're reading something out of the bible.

Haven't seen it yet up here, but we usually don't do breakfast out anymore.

Free country, etc. Their business.

Is it that you think they are looking for somebody to pick a fight with them?

Some folks really do believe that Christians are an oppressed minority, somehow. It’s crazy.

The Jesus is strong there. Everyone praying for everyone, keeping god too busy to do much of anything, I guess.

In deep South Texas. Not sure how I would respond to that. I lean towards pointing and laughing.

I regularly see one or two groups of people seated around a long table or several shorter tables pushed together with bibles out. I assume they are discussing the text. I have seen this for the past three or four years, so it is not tied to the current presidency.

This is in the food court of a complex that includes a small mall, two universities, a charter high school, and several state office buildings.

I am not sure where I would rather these people work.

They think they are witnessing when they talk that loudly in public places.

Either at the stop or on the bus. They talk loudly about "jaysus" and how "blessed" they are before finding some excuse to start approaching the other passengers. They usually start with small talk about the weather or ask for directions but the "god" pitch is never far behind.

My personal favorite is the well-dressed middle aged guy carrying his bible who always manages to target the most attractive young women he can find. I'm sure he is just trying to fill them with the holy spirit, or something like that.
