Every Sunday a group of people stands on the sidewalk in front of Walgreens holding signs with Bible quotes. There are a lot of signs, I counted 15 people today as a drove by. I have no clue what they say because I'm breezing by at 40mph and there's just too many. I am curious about what they might be preaching about. Would it be weird to park at Walgreens and approach them so I could read the signs?

Nope. They are there doing what is called side walk out reach.
But don't be surprised or offended if one approaches you. They shouldn't be rude about it, but they may ask if you have any questions or would like to know more.

You don't have to get out of your car. You pull up, you don't even have to say what you want prayer for. They just pray with you and you go on your merry little way.
It's amazing seeing the response. People just need to know someone cares.

Oh I would gladly stand and chat with them! I'm not scared!
And that is what they are hoping and praying for.

As long as it doesn't turn into some big argument.
That wouldn't be worth the trouble.

If they are standing there, they should expect a debate.
What's the point if every single person agrees with them?

So let me get this straight.
You would take the time to pull over and ask about the signs just to debate and argue with them?
If you ask what they are doing, you gave them the opening to tell you what they are doing. And of course you can ask questions. But you would argue with someone after asking them their point?

That's unlikely. Church groups spreading the word don't ask for money - or at least shouldn't. It turns off the message. Churches rely on their members for money - not visitors or those they are reaching out to.

No, I wouldn't stop, but YOU were the one who said not to argue.
And how would I know if I agree with someone unless I asked what they believed?

You have reading comprehension issues.

I did not say don't argue. I said as long as it doesn't become and argument. Because that would be a waste of time.
Does that mean SB would be looking for an argument? No. Does that mean the people would be looking for an argument? No.
It simply means arguing wouldn't be worth the time it takes to pull over, read the signs and talk to the people.
So yes. If you got "don't argue" out of what I typed, you have reading comprehension issues.
