Wacky Wednesday--You Should Keep Your Faith To Yourself

Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes.

~Faith is such a personal thing. What works for you may not work for everyone.
~When you go sharing your faith with others, you’re playing doctor and sharing the prescriptions he gave you with a totally different person.
~It often irritates other people to hear you talk like this.
~Sharing your faith makes you have to live up to the standards you say you advocate.
~It can get you fired.
~It can ruin relationships
~It’s offensive to imply that your faith is better than someone else’s faith, especially when you can’t prove it.
~It’s arrogant to think you’ve got such a privileged view of the truth.
