This is the seventy-seventh installment in The Sounds of Fundamentalism series. This is a series that I would like readers to help me with. If you know of a video clip that shows the crazy, cantankerous, or contradictory side of Evangelical Christianity, please send me an email with the name or link to the video. Please do not leave suggestions in the comment section. Let’s have some fun!
Today’s Sound of Fundamentalism is a clip from a sermon preached by Arizona street preacher Dean Saxton and another unnamed preacher in front of Bikini Beans Espresso. (link no longer active)

CBS News report on Bikini Baristas in Spokane, Washington.
Two things come to mind upon watching this video:
– when are they going to preach at shirtless guys who mow their lawns with their moobs (man breasts) all flopping around in the breeze? (scandalous I tell you! ? )
– they keep calling the women who work at the coffee shop whores and sluts, then in the next breath say those women have no self esteem *head desk*
I hope I get to visit Spokane in the near future. I’m going to get a coffee at Bikini Beans just to piss these jokers off. Thanks for the advertisement, guys.
Is there any better and apparently socially acceptable way in the world to hate women (humanity) than to become a preacher and stand in public shaming blaming gaming and gleefully spewing rabies from your mouth all day long? Sweet Jeeezus, what the fuck is wrong with Dim Light Dean the sign machine?
It is this kind of behaviour that feeds ill-feeling among us and encourages more and more lack of respectful boundaries. By golly, Dean, you’ve even got me, gentle sweet adorable me, (who very very rarely resorts to sarcasm ;-)) name-calling! It’s like I’m back at church again…..sheesh.
Here is what Christianity does in America: A woman takea a job to make a buck and uses her physique just as all of us do if it serves our purpose but because she is female, she is subjected to outright public hatred.
Thank-you dear Jesus Gawd for your dim light in Dean’s head and heart. You surely show your love in him. (And Christianity is so incredibly fucked that Fallen Fundamental, from another thread, will take the fact that I address JG as proof of the resurrection, the Bible confirmed!) Jeebers Toto, we are not in Kansas anymore.
Hi Bruce,
This guy ought to come to Perth in spring, summer and autumn and visit our beaches. He’ll see plenty of young ladies in bikinis. Most of these young ladies are not “immoral” as he would describe it. He needs to join the REAL world, not the world of his imagination that is inflamed by his so-called biblical interpretation of an ancient human book.
The guy’s a loon.
Shalom,
John Arthur
oh crap, this guy again??!?! Isn’t he the one who got clobbered with a baseball bat a few weeks back for preaching against gays in front of a high school? Apparently he learned nothing from that incident. Wonder if any of these bikini-clad baristas have big, burly boyfriends who would like to have a little chat with Mr. Saxton behind the restaurant…
What fascinates me is that “Bro Dean” and his ilk are willingly repelling people from Christianity. He isn’t even being paid to do it. The anti-theists are probably cheering him on.
