Preachers Story

As religious speakers, who identified themselves as Chris and Kirk, preached their religious views out in the quad, they were faced with students who had strong opinions on religion as well.

People walking by turned their heads and listened. Students sitting on the grass made comments to one another. Others shook their heads in disapproval.

These actions did not seem to affect the individuals preaching. They projected their voices and used many hand gestures in attempts to gain people’s attention.

Whether it was positive or negative attention, all eyes and ears were focused on these religious individuals.

“They’re completely avoiding questions,” Brandon Mirand, a pre-med student, commented,”They only pick and choose questions they can answer.”

Mirand was not convinced that the individuals preaching knew one hundred percent what they were talking about.

Kirk explained the meaning behind their preaching. “Sometimes this preaching is misconstrued because it comes off as hate and intolerance…our main motivation out here is that of compassion and love, ” he said.

Student Amador Domazo, who’s major is undecided, did not seem to agree with Kirk’s point of view.

“The way they’re presenting their thoughts is to scare people…its a giant scare tatic,” Domazo said.

Even though he did not agree with their methods, Domazo said “They’re preaching the word of God and I respect that.”

Religious speaker Chris shared his thoughts on people’s reactions and opinions.

“We have to expect that people are going to act that way,” Chris said,”it shows us that their consciouses are being pricked.”
