for all the preachers out there
Would it be all right with you if you're on the other end of the preaching table? Before I say outright that I hate you guys, I'm going to try use a little more tact and say that you don't know what you're doing, instead.
Let me expound on this. I'm sure you have strong opinions about certain things. Example, say... fortune telling. You don't believe in it and you believe in your religion's god (most probably you're Christian, and more specifically Catholic). That's cool. Really, no sarcasm there. It's good that you stand up for something and you truly believe in it.
However, when you preach others about how right you are and how wrong they are, that's when things get "uncool" (borrowing Jennifer Aniston's infamous line). Back to my example. It's fine that you don't believe in fortune telling, but to say others who do or those who practice it are practically evil, then to hell with you!
Have a care if they are bothering you with their "non-sense," as you would probably call it. Have a care if they are starting to preach their belief to you, like what you are doing to them. Otherwise, do not tell them what to believe in. Do not tell them what you think is right, even if it's written thousands of years on stone tablets. Yours is not the only religion there is, you know. They might not concur with the belief that had been implanted on your brain since birth, but at least they also believe in something, and not because they are gullible enough to believe something interesting, but because they feel what they believe in.
I don't believe in men having the right to marry as many wives as he could support, but I don't tell Islams that they have it all wrong.
So let me spell it out for you: R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Have one, it could make a difference.

While I'm in the subject of preaching and getting all worked up, let me just include this one topic in the fun. What's wrong with those PETA fanatics? It's cool that they support animal rights, but the way that they do it is downright inhuman.
They harass non-supporters and it should be made illegal. Good thing they don't branch out here, or maybe they already did but as I do not read newspapers and watch news, I'm not aware. But anyway, this is what I think: it's good that you guys are looking after animal rights, but the way you do it is as cold-blooded as the animals you protect. People come first, freaks!
Why are you condemning those who eat meat as if it's the most evil thing to do on earth? Wearing fur might anger you, but it keeps others warm. So what if they don't think about the animals being killed just to be worn on humans, it doesn't make them evil. What if the one you're preaching to started preaching you back his religion? After all, the bible did say animals are for our food and for our clothes.
If what bothers you is the process on how animals are killed for our clothes and food, then go after the source. I'm not law-smart, especially in the country in which you are actively harassing people, so I don't know if there's such a law already. But all I'm saying is that there should be a law on how to kill animals as quickly and painless as possible, without the possibility of torture.
Again, respect the people just as much as you respect the animals. I know your reasoning that those people you harass don't need respect as they don't show any to animals by wearing something you think they shouldn't. But, I just hope that every time you do so, harass people I mean, you pay a fine and go to jail for at least 1 year. Get your logic straight.
