Preachers in Oval

Walking back home from class the other day, through the oval, Evangelists were yelling like they do every time they are on campus. However this time was different i was walkin home with my friend and the preacher kept yelling at everyone and telling, every single person that walked by him. that they were going to hell. My friend from some reason that i do not know decided that he was sick of these guys yelling at him and telling him that he is going to go to hell for no reason. When we get to this guy my friend walks up to him and starts askin the guy why he is going to hell, and saying "you do not know anything about me". The preacher just looked at him and said "i know what all you kids do you are all the same and you are going to hell". When he said that i was in shock, because this guy really did not have any idea who my friend was. He just decided that he was going to hell and nothing could change his mind. Previous to this encounter i thought that these guys, while yes a little weird, that they were just doing what they believed in and that they were just preaching that to a whole and not singleing anyone out. I thought that is someone came to talk to them that they would at least hear the person out and atleast listen to tell and not just tell him you are the same as everyone else and that our going to hell. My friend is one of the most religous and kind people i know and for that guy to just tell that to my friend to his face personaly with out even hearing him out i thouht was way out of line. That is definatly not eventhe way for him to get people to join or believe in his cause but just telling everyone to go to hell expically someone who came to talk to you about it. I lost what ever respect i had for those guys that day. I do not agree with those guys at all if you are not a big enough person to atleast hear someones side about something, then you are not preaching the right thing anyway and noone should join your cause.
