Well, he wasn't lying, the bible does say that
They should just have told him where to jam his bible and moved on. As should anyone who finds them being hassled by a street preacher.
I once had one of those sad little fellows that hang around spouting bible nonsense in little grey suits (Jehovah's Witness maybe, although I'm thinking he was actually Mormon?) Literally CHASE after me in a panic saying "Please!! Please you have to listen I don't want you to be DAMNED!!! LISTEN TO MEEE!!". It was disconcerting, yet hilarious. Have to hand it to him, he clearly does 100% believe what he's peddling
