A small group of demonstrators, referring to themselves asnon-denominational Christians gathered in the Library Quad at noontoday, condemning many of students for their lifestyles.

The demonstrators carried large signs which contained phrases including”Jews are the synagogue of Satan.” The signs also contained messagescondemning excessive sports fans.

“It is a pathetic shame you guys,” said Frank Warner, a demonstrator,who is in the roofing profession, to a crowd of several dozen.

Warner said that lifestyles that include homosexuality, premarital sex,and religions other than Christianity will lead to punishment from ahigher power.

“They need to hear about the wrath, too,” Warner said.

Warner also said women “should definitely have the right to cook andclean.The group also voiced opinions against other Christian religions,including Roman Catholicism.

“You would have to be kind of dumb [to become a Catholic],” saidJeremiah Baldwin, a demonstrator. “It is more like half witchcraft.”

Jeremiah Baldwin, a “street preacher” and former police officer has beenholding demonstrations for more than 37 years.

“I do this full time,” Baldwin.

He has held demonstrations outside of the Super Bowl, and at Mardi Grasin New Orleans but usually demonstrates at College Campuses. He saysthat the response to the demonstrations, which often include yelling bythe demonstrators, have been confrontational.

“It is usually bad, sometimes worse,” he said.

Many of the Sacramento State students objected to the demonstratorsmessage.

“I think they are absolutely bigots,” said Carolyn Clay, a senior atSacramento State.Clay acknowledged their right to free speech, but objected to theirbeliefs, including their anti-feminism, and pro-choice message.

Their approach is anti-ethical to the Christian message, according toChris Missick, Junior at Sac State and former vice president ofuniversity affairs for Associated Students Incorporated.

“I am a Christian and I don?t think they represent Christians,” Missicksaid.

Their approach will turn people off to Christianity, he said.

“If they truly are Christians they should model the life of Christ,”Missick said.

Some student saw merit with some of what the demonstrators were saying.

“They knew there was going to be opposition,” said Tedayrl Chapman, ajunior.

He said that there is some truth to the demonstrators message.

“Christ said all those who are not with him are against him,” Chapmansaid.

Chapman did not voice any agreement with the demonstrator’s views onwomen, non-Christians and Gays and said that a less forcefuldemonstration would be easier for the campus to receive.

Campus police were on the scene after receiving calls from someconcerned students over the heated atmosphere of the demonstration.

“We are just here to maintain the peace,” said Officer W.B. Gnagy.

The demonstrators were not breaking any campus rules, according to LouisCamera, assistant to the vice president for Student Affairs.

“They are not at this point disrupting the educational process oncampus,” Camera said.
