First off, the guy had a bullhorn blasting five feet from us. We were walking up to the stadium in a group that was in a good mood anticipating the Titans game. He addressed the entire group as "sinners" and then keyed in on the guy with the beer. When we FINALLY were able to cross the street, he blared thru his bullhorn, " God bless you, sinner!" There was an unanimous rolling of the eyes. The guy with the beer told his buddies, "Can you believe that?"
I'm all for witnessing, but I can assured you that this type of "soul winning" did more damage than it helped. We saw three or four other people with bullhorns and signs with derogatory messages about "sinners". I'm sure that they all felt justified that they were doing the work of The Lord, but as CC1 mentioned, they were helping the devil out by making Christianity look so crass and judgmental.

PM or SS, I think it is a laughable thing that these type of people think this is a "soul-winning" method. It's not though. It's a "soul-soothing" method for them only. It make them feel good about themselves by feeling bad for others. I don't get how that mindset can possibly be a valid one, but somehow to some people it is.
If I were you or CC1 I'd have responded with, "Jesus loves you too even though you're a jerk, a judge and just plain rude." If it were me I'd have said something far worse than that.
