The preacher, meanwhile, was taken aback by the unexpected confrontation during what he assumed was a routine sermon delivery.
The preacher was preaching while we were in a free commute. One thing I’ve never understood is why Christians claim autonomy over free speech. If you try and exercise your free speech everywhere, everyone bashes you. Preachers feel they can come into a peaceful public commute. Why don’t we see other religions doing that? Or are you guys okay with people coming and shoving their beliefs down your throat? Why don’t we see any other religion doing that? Or are you guys okay with that? I just want to understand genuinely why Christians claim autonomy over free speech. If you try and say something contrary, you will be labeled, trust me. This is a commute. If you want to hear a sermon, you go to church on a Sunday. Why are we afraid? Are you guys okay with that?
