I spoke to a Christian street preacher this morning after listening to him talk for about 30/40 minutes. He came over and mentioned that I had been listening intently for a long time, really I had been watching all the people in the street and how they reacted to him. The only people who took leaflets were old or pregnant. I was quite aware that he seemed to be trying to scare people about being sinners and hell. I dont think he was a bad person, he genuinely believed what he was saying but I just couldnt get my head round to his way of thinking.
I went to the Buddhist Centre just to see what it was like really. Not as friendly as I had expected. An old woman showed me round but when I asked her about Buddhism she couldnt really answer my questions. I filled out a little form requesting to meet the manager of the centre which was all very formal. I think ill try to find some more homely Buddhists.
I spoke to a Hindu priest briefly on the phone but I had pretty much no idea what he was saying so I just tried my best to get off the phone. I think I will try to go and see him anyway, I might need someone to come with me though... could be an akward situation.
