Apparently, you're part of a dwindling minority. The typical evangelical Christian forcefeeds his faith, his politics & his values down everyone else's throat. All of us nonbelievers have directly experienced this -- too many times to count. To quote the great Anna Russell,
we're NOT making this up, you know!
If the evangelicals could arrange it, TV programming would consist of nothing but shows like "Touched By An Angel." What a bland world it would be, indeed. I lob broadsides at the Bible Brigade -- the Basic Minimum Christianists of various stripes -- whenever I can, & I offer no apologies for it. As a group, they are the most meddlesome, fatuous, misinformed, self-righteously bellicose & plangently irritating of any I have ever encountered in my years of existence.
The drama critic John Simon summed it up best in an interview with Jon Winokur for his book "The Portable Curmudgeon" when asked about twice-born Christians:
"It seems to me that on the whole, one birth per person is enough, & for some even that may be too much."
