This weeks blog time I would like to discuss the highly debatable topic of brother or preacher Matt who was here at OSU on 9/29/10. He was here to "spread the word of the lord". However when you do some research on him and his minitry you find out that he is simply here to make a quick buck. He goes from campus to campus to piss college students off and in other words try to prevoke a fight. Than when that happens he can sue the school, the campus police and the student. He can make a ton of money if it ever happens. Now I know i am not here to talk about him but i just thought you all should get a little background information on him before i began talking about his for lack of a better word argumentive strategy. He would get to a school and began trashing its students. He would just insult the students walking by calling them whorish or an alcoholic or a idiot or just plain stupid. Than when it came to an argument about the lord, he said he was preaching the word by telling us what the lords wants but he would just make fun of us and tell us all the stuff we did wrong and how we are all gonig to hell cause of this stuff. He went out on a limb and didn't stop to think who he was insulting. A member of our gay community at OSU said "he was not nearly as bad as the other types of preachers we have had here at OSU". Which gets me to think how much worse can it get to someone that he is really insulting. Do these people actually talk what he says to heart? Why would someone want to do something like this to someone they do not even know and probably could get along with but does not take the time to and just bashes them every chance he gets. Preacher Matt was able to stirr up quite a crowd on library lawn, he managed to have people dance around him and manage to insult everyone even people that could call themselves die hard christians. At one point a girl went out and told him to shush, she than began to explain how not all christians are like that and everyone began to cheer. Than suddenly the man interrupted her and began yelling out "oh yes, not all of you are like me and that is simply why you are all going to hell, you all think it is all right now, that jesus is your gangster, homeboy but you all do not know what is really going to happen". He never took a chance to listen at the other side of the arguments when he was with someone he would simply forget it and just say you do not know what you are talking about your just simply dumb and a easy fooled teenager. His argument may not be the most effective to get someone to follow him but his goal was not that but to get someone to assualt him. His goal was not accomplished. I am glad that it was not, looking back i would not want saomeone like that to get the satisfaction of gaining money for a college just by arguing and cause a ruckus and insulting people, it is just not right to me. My group agreed, we did not want to see him succeed in anything, we all agreed his tactic of arguing was not successfull but we all do see him coming back to OSU and trying this again in the future. We will all be ready once again.
