I'm still active here! A bit!
I'm a Christian, if some of you can remember back months on here. Don't like Catholic doctrines... especially the hierarchy of bishops, cardinals, etc. I think it was justified at one point, but in the present day it's unnecessary. So there's that.
Now, about those who say that we shouldn't "whip our religion out", how can we not? Why should we not? To continue the euphemisms, every time somebody bothers to look, it should be obvious it's there.
That's part of what it is to be One of Us- it should be evident that you follow a Christian code of behavior, that's what convinces others there's something different.
"You can have your faith, but for the love of [Preferred Term] don't tell me about it!"
Also completely missing the point, at least the way I was taught. Force is not a correct option, but we are called to share the faith, and this can be a logical extension of a good relationship with God.
Sinners go to "the H word" (Don't tell ME I'm going to Hell!)
I've been spared that by Jesus' death
I really don't want him to go to Hell.
Ergo, I really want to fix that, with the same thing that saved me.
Not that I do it myself, but showing him how to do it for himself, and hope he accepts.
Should people be stifling what they believe for the sake of normal society? Answer this, someone. Definitively.
