Stone the Preacher

It probably won’t surprise you at all that this Joker is an atheist. Apart from the fact that he didn’t like  evangelists “screaming” at people in front of Grauman’s Chinese Theater, that he thought we were brainwashed, that he didn’t believe in God (though he believed in Jesus), and that there was no Hell (but there was a Heaven), this Joker was quite reasonable to chat with. You be the judge. Does he make some valid points? If video doesn’t play, click here to see it.

Almost three years ago, when I first started interviewing people on camera, I ran into a colorful cowboy named Lightning while strolling along the Redondo Beach Pier. I think you’ll enjoy this.

(I’d appreciate your prayers as I prepare to give four sermons this weekend on the wrath of God from Romans 1:18-32)

This is one of the strangest dudes I have ever interviewed. This video is also a tutorial on how to share your faith with very strange dudes!

Here are a few rave YouTube reviews from atheists who watched this Thanksgiving video of my interview with Ray Comfort from last weekend at the Huntington Pier. We talked about the very successful “Origin of Species” book giveaway (with a special introduction by Ray Comfort) among other things.

From Taurus01979: “Couple of loons, belittling others and calling it “love,” and twisting things to benefit themselves.”

MrJohnnyrace: “These two idiots are their own worst enemy.”

I interviewed Craig Stanford, Professor of Evolutionary Biology at USC, on the day that we handed out Darwin’s “Origin of Species” at the University of California. I was not able to give the good professor any good news because he abruptly walked away, frustrated.

This video gives a great overview of the brainwashing that is rampant in America’s universities. Sad.

These people were among the first fifty in line to see a movie, a silly movie! That’s right, they were willing to wait for 2 1/2 days to see the Michael Jackson documentary, “This Is It!” which wouldn’t even open for another month!

I had to give them something to think about while they waited for their ticket to the silly movie! (Start at Part 1 by clicking here.)

Would you stand in line for 2 1/2 days to get a ticket to see a movie that will open a month away? Of course not. Yet some rabid fans of Michael Jackson thought this would be a good way to spend some time as they waited to get their passes to see his new documentary, “This Is It!,” set to open on October 27, 2009.

Here’s a re-post from the past…

This is one crazy video. A drunken Al Pacino look-a-like thinks he’s Tony Montana from the movie Scarface. I made the not-so-wise choice of interviewing him on what he believes. He shouts, swears (bleeped out), and makes a huge ruckus. I take advantage of the gathering crowd and stand on a stool to preach, using Mr. Scarface as a springboard for preaching the Gospel. Then my stool breaks. Mr. Scarface finishes it all up with a rousing harmonica solo. Whew! Talk about things going wrong…

Though Lester’s past was tragic, a ray of hope has dawned for him in the future.

This 3 minute video will cause you to smile and shed a tear….

Ephraim Stoltzfus, raised in the Amish culture, was disfellowshipped from his community for having the audacity to share the gospel with the lost, conducting Bible studies with his family, and for reading the Bible in English. As he studied the Word, he realized that that his leaders’ traditions didn’t exactly line up with Scripture.

This clip is taken from a one hour BBC documentary of this incident called “Trouble in Amish Paradise” (currently unavailable, but you can read a synopsis here), and you can listen to Ephraim’s amazing story by clicking here to go to Ambassadors’ Alliance Radio. Ephraim’s tesimony is at the start of the second hour.

I was delighted to find out that Ephraim will be attending The Ambassadors’ Academy evangelism training in August—and he’ll be on my team! I’m looking forward to learning from this young man.

After watching the video below, click to read this excellent article “Why did they die? The truth about the early exits of Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett,” by Randy Thomasson, former Hope Chapel member and now director of Campaign for Children and Families.

Then take a trip down memory lane (below the video).

MEMORY LANE #1
Michael Jackson’s “BEAT IT”
Weird Al’s “EAT IT”

MEMORY LANE #2
Michael Jackson’s “BAD”
Weird Al’s “FAT”

This is the second interview with another Michael Jackson wannabe, taken from the STAPLES Center at the Michael Jackson Memorial.

You just never know about some people….

The man was friendly, kind, and sounded like a Christian. But I detected that something was a little off in his beliefs. I decided to take him through the 10 Commandments, then, POW!

Watch what happened.

(See the first interview with another Michael Jackson wannabe by clicking here.)

After asking a few pointed questions of this “King of Pop,” he got a look at the man in the mirror of the 10 Commandments, hissed, then beat it.

I’m bad.

Now watch another interview with Michael Fatson (his name for himself). He got reeeeealy mad!

(This would be a great link to send to certain friends.)

The attitude toward Christians and God at the 39th Annual West Hollywood Gay Pride Parade is distilled perfectly in this conversation with a gay man. He was so intent on defending his views and positions about religious people and their Creator that I couldn’t—and wouldn’t—tell him the Gospel. Why would I bother explaining how he can be saved from Hell when there was no conviction of sin, and God, in his eyes, is “a moron”? (Please start at Part 1 by clicking here.)

I had to speak loudly because behind me was the sound of war….
