Most Scarring Situations for Street Preachers
Offline 
So I'm not at all content with my most obvious options for dealing with street preachers. These usually include a) ignoring them; b) yelling back; c) calmly asking legitimate questions; d) driving by slowly while blaring the filthiest CD I have on hand. Now, the thing that bothers me is they expect all of this by now. One of my dreams is to become a pro at doing things they wouldn't expect, and possibly making them crap their pants at the same time. Of course my new option would also have to be LEGAL. . . so no crazy stunts, please. Anyway, my latest thought is to always have a set of custom-fit fangs (maybe even theater fx contact lenses) in my pocket for any evenings I spend downtown. If they happen to be there, I'd pop in the fangs, WHILE IN NORMAL CLOTHING (and on a 'non'-holiday) mind you, do my most foreboding walk, make eye contact with them, walk up to them slowly, stand really close, slowly show my fangs, then in the most low menacing evil voice I could muster up, I'd say "I HAVE A MESSAGE FOR YOU........"
Now where I need YOUR help is, what should that 'shit-your-pants' message be?? 
I also think it would be hilarious if atheists, or anyone else who can't stand street preachers, to start the equivalent of a 'flash mob'. Only, our mob would be of zombies, demons, and angels. And it would be solely for the purpose of convincing the street preacher the 'apocalypse' had begun, and his little ass was left behind. We could even start dancing in unison after the initial scare tactic was over. It would be hilarious! And everyone would love us for shutting up the street preacher. It would be even more possible now with access to twitter and facebook and all. Everyone could be like "guys! Meet me on the corner of 7th and Main! It's Street Preacher Crash Mob time!" LOL.

Sounds like fun. I'll have to think about the message......
OMG i love this idea! Where do you live? I'd love to join in your mob, though I suspect we're too far away to make it happen.
But yeah, I have to think about what the message should be... hmm...
Just say:
The time has come.
Are they catholics? If so I'd go with "STOP MOLESTING OUR CHILDREN"
If not, just act really gay and dress in gay clothes...
“A meritocratic society is one in which inequalities of wealth and social position solely reflect the unequal distribution of merit or skills amongst human beings, or are based upon factors beyond human control, for example luck or chance. Such a society is socially just because individuals are judged not by their gender, the colour of their skin or their religion, but according to their talents and willingness to work, or on what Martin Luther King called 'the content of their character'. By extension, social equality is unjust because it treats unequal individuals equally.” "Political Ideologies" by Andrew Heywood (2003)
"And now your time is here.
For you to leave this world.
I am your salvation.
Confess your sins to me or you will pay dearly for all eternity!..."
I keep asking myself " Are they just playin' stupid, or are they just plain stupid?..."

There isn't any "crap your pans" stunner. Anything that might cause cognitive dissidence wont have an affect that you can see in the moment. I know that when I first started my journey it took years and lots of questioning and introspection.

However, you could ask, "Do you have any advice on getting my pet in the mood, we have a date tonight".

There is a tunnel in NYC that connects the Port Authority with Times Square.... ... It's a good way to avoid bad weather, and tourists if you need to get from 7th to 8th aves... But beware the gauntlet of Religious Zealots one must navigate to get from one end to the other... Born Again Christians with a table full of pamphlets, and a methodone addict with a bullhorn.... Jews for Jesus.... The Tony Alamo Ministries.... The "Watchtower" .... "The Nation" of Islam selling a Muslim newspaper for 1$.... The Black israeites... and a bunch of little old Asian women (not sure where they are from, but they have pamphlets)....
Which is why I always give a buck to the dwarf playing the accordian.

Did it get worse after 2007, by chance?

Probably falung gong practitioners
Fort Worth , TX actually... home of waaaay too many religious freaks.
The sad truth of it is that I don't think there is anything you can say. The crazier the shit you say, the more likely the interaction will end up as some stupid ass sermon illustration. It's like fuel for the fire.
Although ............ public nudity/pornography will probably send baptists running for the hills and they aren't likely to repeat the event in public for fear of having anyone think that they actually looked. They will, however, almost certainly masturbate to the memory of it for the rest of their lives.
Not that you would do that sort of thing, though.

That should do it - skimpy clothes, slinky walk, throaty voice, "Honey, I'm not on the pill."

You may be on to something.
I wonder what would happen if a dude wearing ass-less leather chaps and a sequined cowboy hat walked up to a street preacher and got down on one knee and proposed.
-or-
If a skanky looking lady walked up and started yelling "you gave me the clap, you asshole! You're paying for my treatment."
-or-
Just stand there going "that's what she said" after everything they say.
-or-
Have a child walk up and say "Jesus still hasn't given me my pony and my butt still hurts mister."

I have a message for you. Your time has come. The rapture has past and you were not taken. You were left for me to torment. Get on your knees and beg for mercy. You belong to me.
I first thought you were going to go to the preacher and have foam coming out of your mouth and beg the intercede to god to remove your demons. Throw yourself on the ground and see if he bites. If he does then you could calmly stand up take out your teeth, wipe your mouth and simply say something like "What a fucking asshole." Flip him the bird and calmly walk away. That would take some good acting skills. Be sure to have someone film it and post it whatever you do.
Religion Kills !!!
Numbers 31:17-18 - Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.
