He should not have been reading inside the building. Arrest? They should have just asked him to go outside.
Did you watch the video? He was in the parking lot.
You really should watch the video before commenting, because he was outside the entire time. They were standing outside the DMV waiting for it to open. That said, I don’t think it’s productive to try and proselytize in such circumstances. I’d do the same thing if the Lord directed me to do so, but I’d want to make sure it was His will first. It just seems to me this sort of proselytizing is actually counter productive. You can hear other people in the line laughing about the whole thing. Finally, would we appreciate it if Satanists, Muslims, and other non-Christian folk wanted to do the same thing? Being uncivil is not a good witness. Doesn’t scripture tell us to be all things to all people, to obey the law to the extent it doesn’t contradict the Lord’s will?
They probably did and he probably responded with a “freedom of religion” argument founded upon ignorance.
This is no different than if he was standing there with a boom box blasting racist hate filled rap music in the guise of free speech.
