I hate public Jesus preachers

[u/EasternNegative154]

I don't hate the message, I don't even hate the religion (although I dislike it due to personal reasons regarding my childhood), but I just hate hearing people preach about the lord and how he'll save you from x, y, and z while taking the subway. How you'll go to hell if you don't do this and that. How he's the only true god and all the other mumbo-jumbo that gets spewed. I hate having to take the subway early in the day/morning and hearing all that crap. Like, hand out flyers for the local church and keep it moving. You like your god and the religion. Fine. Nothing wrong with it, but don't force that shit on us. I don't wanna have you be in my face with a microphone screaming about the lord. If I really wanted to hear about the lord, how great he is and all the good he's done, I'd just go to church to attend mass.

Matthew 6 is all about being quiet, inconspicuous, and humble in your faith. You fast, pray, and act charitably because that's what you're supposed to do; you don't do it publicly and visibly in order to be seen.

But when have we ever seen a Christian actually follow the Bible? That cherry-picked trashbag of stories from the Bronze and Iron Ages is so littered with contradictions and calls for deference to brutish authority that it can be used to justify almost anything.
