Europe not so many, because they learned so much from their history of religious intolerance in the dark ages. Protests like the above would be seen as one step away from the public heretic-burnings of a few centuries back.

Anyway, there is little reasoning with people like that above. They had no interest in dialogue, that's for sure. But yeah, I'd love to see their reaction if some devotees where outside their church parking lot chanting! [:biggrin:]

Hare Krishna devotees can win converts by their love of God and joy in public chanting, and reasonable dialogue, not by twisted scare tactics (like signs that say become a Hare Krishna or burn forever) and "protests" of other people's freedom of religion.

People that don't believe in God's eternal love for every jiva, I feel sorry for. How sad to portray God as some monster, waiting to roast us.
