"Until he got run out of town on a rail by the local prosecutor who grew weary of this jack-ass' hassling kids and women on the streets."

In Michigan? Now THAT is something I'd like to hear more about. What was his problem with women and kids?

Yeah, Michigan. Grand Rapids, Michigan. Which is like one of THE most conservative Christian areas in the entire country, outside the deep south Bible Belt.

But everyone has their limits. This clown would make a major nuisance of himself at every public function, carrying around a full size wooden cross and shouting at people who came within ear shot. I've known people like this from my Baptist upbringing. These are the kind of people who think the only "authentic" christianity is the kind where you "sell out for the Lord" and generally act as though you are an Old Testament prophet sent personally by God to rebuke the sinners. The Yates family seems like they fell under this guy's sway, selling their home and living out of a motor home for a while.

One TV news report a few weeks ago said this itinerant preacher sent religious tracts to his followers and one of his dominant issues was that women were eternal "sinners, daughters of Eve, sisters to Satan". Rusty liked this guy.
