Yet another Christian who can’t resist proselytizing in the wrong context


I don’t recall how “The Wranglerstar” YouTube videos came to my attention. I found the first two videos I watched very interesting (at least for a woodworker who thought he might become a USA forest ranger as a teenager circa 1979). And then I watched his latest video wherein he can’t resist spending the last minute proselytizing for his Christian faith. That behavior is the hallmark of a fundamentalist/evangelical xtian that is unable to separate their religious beliefs from their interactions with the secular world. “Wranglerstar” is the type of person who would make me a second class citizen or kill me if they could achieve sufficient political power. I don’t say “kill me” lightly. As a former Presbyterian I am now an apostate. Something the Christian Bible lists as a capital offense. I have also engaged in adultery, blaspheming The Lord, working on the Sabbath, and several other “crimes” the Christian Bible deems worthy of death.

I want people like “wranglerstar” to understand it is not appropriate to impose their religious beliefs on others. Frankly, evangelizing your religious beliefs in inappropriate contexts (like the YouTube video mentioned above) makes you an asshole.

Updated 2015-01-08: I received many replies, mostly incoherent and with spittle figuratively flying, asking for clarification as to why I think wranglerstar was an asshole for his behavior in the last minute of that video.

Consider this scenario. You and I are at Home Depot to buy some glue. You ask me for advice. Since I know a bit about the pros and cons of various glues I answer your question. You thank me for my help. Noticing you are wearing a symbolic Roman torture device around your neck I then deliver a monologue about the stupidity of taking myths written by Bronze age goat herders literally. Not to mention that were a human to exhibit the characteristics of your God he would be committed to a psychiatric hospital or life in prison (or death if he lived in Texas). Not exactly the type of person you should worship. Would you think I was an asshole? Would you think that was the appropriate context for me to share my views on religion?

Updated 2015-06-13: For yet another example of a xtian who insists on injecting his religious beliefs in the wrong context see this article I wrote yesterday. I sent an email to an ISP about an attack on my web server and received a response from a support representative for that company telling me “maybe u r the 1 blacklisted from heaven”. Which just goes to show that religious assholes don’t just upload videos to YouTube.
Updated 2015-10-17: For the Christians reading this please also read this article about a state trooper evangelizing to a motorist he stopped for a traffic infraction. Do you believe that is acceptable? What if the state trooper (i.e., police officer) was a Muslim or a member of some other faith you find distasteful?
