Fanatics

  These religious fanatics are a dime a dozen at SDSU.  It seems that at least once a month, there is someone standing around with a sign shouting that God hates everyone because SDSU students are all sinners.  If you read his sign carefully you will see that he has got all his bases covered on who is going to hell.  He's got all other religions, sexually immoral people, Atheists, socially immoral people and the last set is dedicated to college students. He would pace back and forth with his sign and tell everyone that God hates them.   He would make jokes and point to the "mouthy women" bit every time a girl walked up to challenge him.  After about an hour of listening to this guy, Jackie from Ross decided to give her own rendition of what the bible means.  Soon she took center stage and started talking about artificial flavorings causing sin.  It was really hard to concentrate on what she was saying because she had really bad teeth and i couldn't shake the thought of her biting my neck like a vampire would.  Every five minutes or so, the guy with the sign would shout "I'm not with her!" Next another guy from the crowd started preaching the same shit that Jackie was.  He produced his portable new testament from his coat pocket and started reading John 3:16 out loud.  Suddenly Mr. Sign yelled "Loved!!! God so LOVED the world!  Past tense!!! Everyone is going to hell!"   
Next the crowd started chanting for the sign guy to start preaching again.  Now i felt like i was watching Springer on television.  He yelled at Jackie saying that she stole his legs and that he's going to take back what's his.  (The crowds attention)
After mouthing off to the crowd and getting everyone including myself mad at him.  He started calling people out from the crowd and motioning for them to meet him face to face.  People talked their shit but no one dared to meet him on the stage.  Suddenly the crowd erupted in a cheers, I scanned around to see what was going on.  Two chicks walking by had started making out on stage and Jackie was trying to hide their actions by creating a diversion.  
Next thing i know there's a guy who decides that he's had enough and walks out in the open, gets on his knees and starts to pray.  Some girl in a wheelchair rolls up an decides to pray too.  By now the crowd is going fucking nuts.  Mr. Sign is still yelling at random girls, Jackie is trying to calm everyone down and started dancing and then there's these two people in silent prayer.  Only God knows what they were praying about.  My soul? By now i'm looking at the clock and i've got class in five minutes.  I try to wait it out to see if anything else is going to go down.
