Nutball Alert: The Willard Preacher

This is the kind of nutball that scares me, Gary Cattel is known as the Willard Preacher. He stands outside the Willard building at Penn State and preaches to students. He started his ministerial efforts in 1982. Which means he’s been yelling “Sodomites, whores, fornicators and barbarians - you're all going to hell!” for over 20 years. He reminds me of the Korean preacher who stands on the corner of South & Shoemaker each weekend armed with a big red cross and a bible. He preaches that we are all going to hell too. The web is full of stories about this nutball, if found him through this news story.

Why do I call this guy a nutball? Anybody who spends his day pushing his religion on others has crossed the line into the nutball neighborhood. You don’t win souls by yelling at people, yelling just pushes people away.
