Sorry about the "litter." Some will read the material probably most wont. Hopefully you recycle.

Hari Krishnas are about as annoying as Jews for Jesus, and Mormons, Scientologists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Catholics, Protestants, Jews and Muslims.

I feel all religions are equally nuts, and their adherents are organized borderline schizophrenics.

So why single out the Hari-Krishnas?

Nuts in the sense that they are so convinced in the righteousness of their ideology, which by probability alone is overwhelmingly untrue considering how many religions there are and brachs thereof. But we did come from somewhere, why is there something when there should nothing? There is a god but the falacy is pretending to know exactly who he/she/it is

Buddhists don't believe in God, and it is very insulting.
Freedom of religion

YOU have it

I have it

THEY have it

And besides, my motto is this

Live and let live.

Rep and I agree. Even though some religion goes to things of the past, I really think Zeus and Thor are pretty cool and awesome. I just I was talking to some one the other day that if it wasn't for the Greek King Alexander the Great and his conquest of Jerusalem over the Persians their would not be no Christianity years later. I had to show this guy relevant points on how Greeks believed in demi gods and how Greek kings and politicians claimed to be son of their gods, eventually brought this with them to conquered lands like Judea. As well as Hellenization of the Jews during antiquity created the perfect conditions of Mary, Joseph, Jesus and a new world religion that conquered both Greece, Rome and the rest of Europe and eventually the whole world. Hell even a million of New Yorkers wont have a Menorah to light on December thanks to the oppression by their Greek rulers 22 centuries ago!

I've also frequently seen them in Union Square. Can't say I've seen them anywhere else.

Saw a few young Mormons yesterday in Flushing trying to hand out flyers...
