Misterpiece Theater: Street Preacher
11 days ago, I had an encounter with a street preacher while I was walking my dogs at the Seal Beach pier. It did not go well for the street preacher. I posted about it on Facebook, and everyone there wished I'd taken video of the incident. So, I decided to recreate the conversation. Unfortunately, you're going to have to look at me the entire time because all my actor friends were busy. You have my deepest apologies. But I think this is something you'll really enjoy. If you need to, look away. ;-)
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you all for your continued support. If you know of others who might be willing to help with these, please encourage them to come here and sign up to be a patron. Donations are down, and I'm getting a bit concerned. Perhaps it's time for another begging segment. B

Don’t bring a knife to a gun-fight.
Great video Brian, perhaps next time you meet one of these characters, you could ask if they’d mind you filming the conversation.
Well, you'd kinda need two cameras and some decent audio, wouldn't you? I was there walking my dogs. Ha!!!
Hi Brian, could be that donations are down due to Patreon coming into disfavour by Sam Harris (and possibly others?). I think there’d be quite a bit of overlap in your audiences. Hope it picks up soon, keep up the great work.
Unfortunately, the last time this happened to me I was too tired to respond and just told the guy I was not interested. He tried the "we're all going to die sometime" argument. He kept at it, and it looked like his opening was going to transpose into Pascal's wager. Finally he shook his head and left me alone.
I was actually tired myself. It was towards the end of the day. But when people start talking about Hell and Satan, my blood boils. The adrenaline is strong with this one.
Was listening to Holy Koolaid and a Formon that the Mormons do a really good job of debunking other religions. So once he worked it out that Mormonism was wrong, it was a short walk to atheism because of the leg work his church did. (Here's what he said: <a href="https://youtu.be/cwmhJUP7e1I?t=868)" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/cwmhJUP7e1I?t=868)</a> Would this make a good topic for a future video?
Well done, sir. Doff of the cap.
LOVED it! You have a knack for quickly thinking on your feet. That was great ju-jitsu!
Well, I kinda do this professionally. But thanks!
Brilliant!
Very well done!
Would love to be a "friend" to you on Facebook. sent a request. (The "mike" one). Thx. But understand if you already have too many friends.
I'll go looking, but there are a ton of requests now. If you want to give a bit more info privately, drop me a note at mrdeity@mrdeity.com. I generally only accept requests now from people who share a bunch of friends with me.
It's interesting how they always claim to have incontrovertible evidence, but when asked to actually produce it, are surprisingly sketchy about what that evidence actually is, and what even constitutes 'evidence' in the first place
