Jason Roberts — who wore a San Diego Fire Department t-shirt and baseball cap — plus his crew of three to four minors arrived on scene on preview day, hoisting signs that read, “Your sins separate you from God,” and “Repent! And believe in Jesus.”

A crowd of teens orbited around him almost constantly during the three-day convention, arguing Roberts’ right to “tell them what to do.”

Roberts’ cohort passed out folding cards labeled as “Get out of hell free cards,” with instructions for the path to righteousness.

“This card is bent,” said a gangly blonde in a red summer dress. “Does that mean it’s going to hell because it’s not straight?”

Zing!

At the college I go to, a local pastor and his congregants regularly protests and preach hellfire at the college green. Needless to say, the LGBT center comes out in full force for a counter protest. It’s usually peaceful, but that pastor doesn’t exactly bring people to Christ, and makes us normal Christians look bad.

That pastor is not a great salesman, if people aren’t listening to him.
