Bi·ble-thump·er

This particular bible-thumper has been "gracing"
the corner of the DU campus this week. Ugh.
–noun Informal (according to Urban Dictionary)
1. One who uses the Bible to attack/defame others' characters instead of as a guide to proper living. These people tend to be depressingly ignorant of anything else except the Bible and behavior as expected by the religious.
2. Originating from typically southern US fundamentalist Christian sects given to evangelizing in a very outgoing, rumbunctious way, often characterized by a religious bigot standing on a street corner, with or without foam around his mouth, shouting about how we should all turn to Christ, whilst vigourously thumping his soft covered bible for emphasis. Their actions usually do more harm than good to their cause and bring into disrepute and ridicule those more reticent Christians.
3. The cause of many major wars, genocides, and crimes against humanity during the last 20 centuries.
