UAH
[edit]I really like what Bro. Micah has to say and I really wish he would come to UAH. Seems like he will never go there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.209.144.16 (talk) 19:05, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
Legal name
[edit]I have heard that Micah may not possibly be his legal first name, although I don't recall whether I have seen that in an article or if it is just hearsay. If a Wiki-appropriate document indicating whether this is true can be found it should be noted in the introductory sentence to this article, but obviously if such a document doesn't provide his real name then his privacy should be respected.

- No, Micah is not his real name, but he does not want his real name to become public because he is afraid that people will use it to track down and attack his family. Given the reactions of insecure college students who choose to listen to him, I think his concern is valid. --NoPetrol (talk) 01:45, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
article reworking
[edit]This article needs to be seriously reworked. After "preaching" at our university for a time, he purposely baited several students into becoming angry and nearly caused an altercation. The university police claim that this is not an isolated instance, and he tries to sue for assault. I don't think "talks to students" is particularly neutral - in fact, it seems lenient beyond reason. 129.174.178.87 (talk) 19:11, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
- None of this is true. He does not force anyone to attack him. He has never sued a student or anyone else. He does not even press for charges against students who decide to attack him, and goes so far as to try to convince police officers to drop charges against his attackers sometimes. The only people who attack him are people who are too easily offended or too stupid to walk away when they are offended. --NoPetrol (talk) 18:42, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
But he's still a dick. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.127.255.231 (talk) 15:07, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
vandalism
[edit]This article has been vandalized before I got here. But in all honesty, having watched this guy make his "speeches," and being the incredible dick he is, I can honestly say I prefer this version to the real thing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.174.178.51 (talk) 23:03, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
comments on IP adress
[edit]Apparently, either Micah Armstrong himself or someone who supports him left a message for this IP address, calling the comments on this talk page "libelous". This University IP is shared among many students, but I find it interesting that someone would bother to respond to a comment in a talk page.

Beliefs
[edit]A lot of the information in this section (all sourced, all added by me) might be attributed to his preaching style of making outrageous statements for the purpose of sparking discussion. I have no objection to relabeling the section name or putting these statements into context. I haven't been able to do it with the sources at hand, but I think this section could use further development. Rklawton (talk) 02:45, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
- We may also consider whether or not Micah Armstrong really intends on what he says about the world. His perception of reality - really a condemnation of the entire world - is awfully twisted and antagonistic. Tom Short, the other campus preacher, may have typical conservative Christian views on sexual ethics, but at least Tom knows the difference between the Gospel and his personal views. Honestly, his own personal conservative Christian views on sexual ethics and evolution may not be completely justified in Scripture, in the post-Enlightenment tradition, but at least Tom is a lot better off than Micah. Let's just pray together that a true Christlike person shows Micah Armstrong and Tom Short the light of becoming a Christian. 140.254.227.130 (talk) 16:42, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
