Dear Subway Preachers,

You seem to be multiplying. Have you figured out a way to clone yourselves? Clearly you would never engage in the old fashioned method of sex. Now, occasionally I find you amusing. But lately, you've all taken to doing God's work during the morning commute.

Let me tell you something. THAT is sacred time. We may be all squished together like sardines, body parts unavoidably (or, avoidably, in the case of certain men) touching, but the silence of the morning commute is an unspoken code that you have broken. And we're getting really pissed. We can hear you shouting fire and brimstone over our ipods. When the first words out of my mouth in the morning are "Jesus Christ", and believe me, they're not spoken in the way you would hope for, you've crossed the line. Subway rage has been pretty rare in the past, but I'm quite certain it can and will happen again. To one of you. So shut the fuck up.

Love,
New York City Transit commuters

Do these crazy fucks only exist in New York? In an age where I honestly worry about getting blown up on the subway, and am all for the checking of bags and don't give a fuck whether it violates the 4th Amendment or not, can't we just prohibit all religion-based speak in these enclosed underground and sometimes under water areas?

Seriously, I wish this existed in chicago.... we don't have preachers on our trains.... but tons of other really really annoying shit ... including people talking on the cell phones... on SPEAKERPHONE...for 10 minutes!!! it really makes the 1h20m train ride obnoxious and unbearable without coffee.
