[SUP]Nothing wrong with street preaching.... how are people going to know until someone tells them ? Some people will never set foot in a church .. so how shall they hear without a preacher ? Check out the Bible... most great men of God were street preachers. 
Romans 10:
13 [/SUP]For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
[SUP]14 [/SUP]How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
[SUP]15 [/SUP]And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
[SUP]16 [/SUP]But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
[SUP]17 [/SUP]So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Still haven't answered the question . . .
And to everyone else: As an atheist, I think street preaching is perfectly fine. The preachers have a Constitutional right to do it. I do not, however, condone all the hate-filed speech to be perfectly fine, when it's hidden under the guise of preaching.

It's God's will that none should perish. That's what I like to focus on. God's will is that none should perish - none.
2 Peter 3
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Nailed. Dead. Risen.

Are you trolling? God does hate the gay-lifestyle and all who reject Christ will burn BUT it's the default destination for all people from birth because creation has been cursed with sin. I hate the idea, I don't revel in it. We Christians struggle with God's more wrathful side, but it's there in the Bible. God provides hope and a way out in Christ and his sacrifice.
Did you really expect Christians to agree with your beliefs? We come from a totally different worldview. Also, whatever is Absolute Truth remains true, even if someone doesn't believe, because it doesn't rely on personal belief. Therefore, jsut because we live in the post-modern age and some think we've progressed beyond godly morality, doesn't mean God's Truth is any less valid.

Jred,
Why can't we live in happiness? What do you mean by happiness? Happiness has to be defined by something. You're looking for society's understanding of happiness. But Christians look for God's understanding of happiness. And godly happiness is defined by God and what he says in his Word (the Bible). Sin is tempting, if it wasn't, it wouldn't be sin. God doesn't like the gay-lifestyle because in his eyes it's a sin. God also hates many other things, not people. He didn't create men to love each other romantically, nor women. He desired creation without sin, but Adam and Eve gave God the finger and went their own way. From then, on humanity, by default, abandoned God and made up their own rules to live by. But when when sinful humanity creates their own rules, they won't be perfect, because humanity isn't perfect. A perfect God, on the other hand, can create perfect rules to live by. God's rules are the ones we ought to live by, otherwise anyone's truth can be seen as valid and the world goes to Hell in a hand-basket.

All of this . . . ALL OF THIS . . . is irrelevant, because you missed what I was trying to say, which is what I've been saying this whole time. What I meant by 'happiness' was not some philosophical or religious rendition of the word, but simply: living the way they want.
I've asked you this three or four times now: WHY?? ANSWER ME!
