If you call yourself a Christian while evangelical Christians are making all these problems, you are helping them make problems. They love more than anything being able to claim that they're in the right because they're in the majority. If you want to follow the teachings of a middle eastern Jew from the Roman era, that's fine, but don't call yourself a Christian because that label has been ruined.

Proselytizing in any form is a problem. Keep it to yourself.

I'm getting tired of people using "evangelical Christian" as the term for the problematic flavor of Christians.

It's ok, the rest of us are tired of evangelical Christians being the problematic flavor of Christianity.

but by context, I think you're more referring to political conservative Christians.

That venn diagram a circle within a circle.

The pages from the Bible are worse than toilet paper

evangelical Christian" as the term for the problematic flavor of Christians.

If you look up what evangelical Christian means, it's just that there's an emphasis on the authority of the Bible

sharing of faith, and personal salvation

Whether people WANT to share your personal superstitions or not. That's why evangelical Christians are worse: they evangelize to those of us who have made it clear that we don't consent and, which is much worse, pass laws based on the assumption that everyone must believe in their favorite fairy tales.

Maybe it's the sharing of faith that seems problematic

Congratulations on getting the point! If only you hadn't immediately dismissed it again, there might have been hope for you yet.

If that is the case, I hope it's just when it's done in an aggressive/tactless/heavy-handed way. I'd like to think we haven't reached the point as a society where someone sharing their faith respectfully is seen as problematic

What you don't seem to understand is that telling people who have not asked about your weird relationship to your invisible friend is an INHERENTLY aggressive, tactless and heavy-handed way to attempt to convert people. Don't make me trot out the penis example..

I think you're more referring to political conservative Christians

Because believing that the Bible should continue to have authority over modern society IS a conservative view that's very political in nature.

All flavors are problematic. It shows a lack of critical thinking skills that leak into every facet of their lives, showing that they can’t be depended on to make rational decisions. The vast majority of this worlds problems have religion as a root cause, and the rest are just greed, which goes hand in hand with most organized religions.

it’s just that there’s an emphasis on the authority of the Bible, sharing of faith, and personal salvation

Two of those three things are at best annoying and at worst deadly to the evangelical Christian's victims

The problem is the sharing. If they only did it when asked no problem. But they don’t. They leave shitty tip notes and letters on your door if not outright invoke you to talk with them by knocking randomly. They try to change the laws for everyone to conform to their own personal “salvation” and impose that on us all. They stand outside clinics and shame people trying not to die. If they kept it personal no one would care. But they don’t.

There’s two others that nearly died from evangelicals trying to over share. Stop this and no one would give a fuck. Until then: in for a penny in for a pound.

there's an emphasis on the authority of the Bible

yeah that’s the problem, particularly when you try to apply it to governance.

I don't we were ever at a time where sharing your faith respectfully was problematic. We were and are always in the phase where people sharing and using their faith as an excuse to be a dick is problematic.

If someone is religious but they're chill with my people and the lgbt community then I'm chill with them.

Oh, cool, see you there...

You’re going to hell, repent sinner!

Not sure whether you're

• inventing a new kind of sinner,
• maybe misspelling 'recent',
• really wanting to say "You're going to hell. Repent, sinner!" in English.
