What? Why? No one at the Comic-Con is waiting for someone to stand up and preach at the convention center. I haven't been to Comic-Con (EU, bloody expensive trip) but I can't see a lot of people being happy with preachars at their event.

Nobody is waiting for it, because they are ignorant of their need for it. Imagine the sea of people, all lost and damned, enjoying themselves this weekend, neglecting the Gospel of Jesus...

...some of them may die this month. Some of them will die this year.

They need Jesus, or else they will be damned forever and I want the Lamb who was slain to receive the reward of His suffering. I want Jesus Christ to receive those for whom He died.

I told the people today "I hope you have fun today, enjoy yourselves. Comic-Con is a fun event. But then after today is over, go home and read the Bible. Don't neglect the word of God. Faith comes by hearing it! Turn to Jesus after you have your fun today! Turn to the God who created you! Don't harden your heart against the Gospel, listen to me! Jesus is the only one who took God's wrath upon Himself for you, and He's the only one who can deliver you from the judgment that is to come. Turn to Him, believe on Him!"

Anyway that's the kind of preaching we do at Comic-Con. I think it's pretty good. :D

I'd be pretty annoyed, but that's me. I know you only want the best for me and other people, but if we aren't following it I'm sure most of have educated ourselves and are just unconvinced that any of what you're saying is actually true. I find it quite dick-ish that you would go preach at such a convention actually, even though I know you only want the best for other people :S
I would like it if people kept their religion to themselves at such conventions, no one came there to be educated on religion.

In my experience most people have no idea what the Bible says, Christians included. You would be amazed at the answers I get from Christians when I ask them "How do you know you're saved." I end up having to walk them through their own salvation.

Now think about how much less the unbelievers know. Many of them may have grown up in the church, but so did I and let me tell you I was ignorant and deceived. I knew nothing about God. Many Atheists and non-Christians grew up in Christian homes but never actually had God-given faith, so they leave and think "Oh I already know what the Bible's all about, I used to be a Christian" and they tune out any preachers because "I already tried that I know all about it."

But in reality, they never did. That's my experience with street ministry. Most people, Atheists and Christians, know next to nothing about God.

Well then I would say they don't care, and even though I have to stress I know that you only want the best for everyone else. I just see no reason to follow a religion founded in the Iron Age when there's modern knowledge and I'd be pretty annoyed by someone who doesn't know how to keep their religion to themselves at a non-religious event. To me you seem no different to the people who go to preach at universities and such, telling me your right and I'm wrong and that I'm damned & I'll go to hell if I don't follow your way of thinking.

So are you more inclined towards a modern religion like Scientology? If not, then why include the Iron Age part?

It is merely pointing knowledge from which the religion is founded comes from a time when humanity knew very little compared to what we know now.

Just because something is older doesn't mean it's worse.

It doesn't, no. But we know for a fact that we have acquired so much more knowledge compared to 2000 years ago, do we not?

Not knowledge that is particularly useful for a religion. The things Jesus said are still true though.

Apparently you do not realize that, relatively speaking, the amount of human knowledge hasn't changed one bit.

To put what I mean into perspective, imagine every piece of knowledge in the universe was an individual grain of sand (that would literally be enough sand to fill our known universe). Now, out of this universe of sand grains, how many of them would it take to represent all of human knowledge to date?

It would be generous to say we would have enough grains to fill someone's hand. Even if you want to claim that we have doubled (or even quadrupled) our knowledge since ancient times, when compared to the reality of all knowledge, it is beyond laughable.
