More respectful? Perhaps so. Sometimes respect is sacrificed to make a point. I imagine someone could criticize Elijah for calling fire out of heaven as being less respectful than if he had just refused their request. I imagine also that someone might accuse Jesus of being disrespectful for calling that woman a dog who wanted Jesus to heal her daughter, or for calling Herod a fox, or for calling the Pharisees vipers and hypocrites. Generally speaking, however, I don't think street preachers go out of their way to be disrespectful. There are always exceptions. Peace be with you.
