'Orange is the New Black' Actress Lea DeLaria Argues with Subway Preacher, 'Religious Fanatics are the Reason America is in Trouble'

Lea DeLaria

'Orange is the New Black' star Lea DeLaria (Big Boo), was filmed on the subway mouthing off at a subway preacher in New York City.

According to TMZ, DeLaria was on the train this morning when someone began preaching in the car. This bothered the actress, and led her to speak up and say something to the man.

Wearing a shirt that read "Bad Jew," the actress then began arguing back and fourth with the preacher as she shouted "You have absolutely no right sir. Get off this train! Other people believe other things and everybody has the right to believe in other things on this planet and in this world." She said he was imposing on people's religious freedoms by openly sharing his.

She continued, 'Jesus never sent for you to do this never, not anywhere in the Bible. Show me anywhere in the Bible where Jesus says it is OK for you to do this. Don't come at me because I went to f***ing Catholic school for 12 years and I know every lie.'"

"This is why America is in trouble," said the preacher, to which she replied, "Religious fanatics are the reason America is in trouble."

He then brought up Sodom and Gomorrah and homosexuality. This struck a nerve with DeLaria who then became louder because she is a lesbian. The video then eventually cuts off as the two walk to the other side of the car.

What do you think of train car preachers? Do you think it is good for ministry or just something to frustrate non-believers instead of drawing them in?
