I Hate Christians Who Protest
Yesterday in town there were some Christians protesting in front of an abortion clinic. They were chanting and holding up all kinds of homemade signs. Some of these people even brought their children with them.
I hate when Christians do this crap. I mean, is anyone about to walk in to such a place really going to see the sign that says “Abortion Kills Children” or hear some stupid rhyme going to change their minds? Are they really saying to themselves, “You know what? Those people picketing care about me so much I realize I don’t want to do this.” No! Most people will drive right by and come back the next day.
Are these rallies doing any good?
Can’t Christians do something more productive?
It seems to me, if they really cared, they might get involved with some teen crisis center. That would show more love. That would be more helpful. To say nothing of the fact that they are bringing their own kids to these rallies. At least get a babysitter.
And let’s not forget, at least in my opinion, they give God a bad name. Good intentions do not always have good results.

I know this article is really old but I still felt the need to comment. I never liked the protesters out there either until one event happen. A friend of mine who had her daughter when she was 17 told me this: “I was going in for an abotion abortion at Planned Parenhood. Then I saw a poster a man was holding and it was a picture of an aborted babies hand next to a quarter… I left and never looked back. I wish I could shake that mans hand and thank him for saving my daughters life.”
I know that God can use many different avenues to reach a person’s heart, even the ones I don’t particularly like. Heck, on occasion He even works through TBN, despite the cooky. In the end, I’m glad your friend mad the right choice. That’s a wonderful story.
You go Danny!
i couldn’t agree with you more. in more cases than not, christian’s go after the “one” lost sheep, instead of knowing that it’s our job to make “discipleS”; not make “disciple” of all nations. even times when we’re trying to make disciples or going after “one”, we often use condescending words and drive them further away.
