yeah, this was my experience as an evangelical christian: "witnessing." wear a cross, wear a Jesus shirt, put a Jesus fish on your car, put a christian soldier flag on your flagpole, because it's bearing witness to Jesus and everyone who sees it will be so curious about it that they'll just naturally ask about it and then you can evangelise at them.

in 10 years no one ever asked me about my necklace, my shirt, my fish, or anything else. it doesn't actually work like that. I can attest that christians of this ilk can't even conceive that other people may have had bad experiences with religion or have genuinely thought over the idea of god and decided "not for me." they think you just don't know about Jesus. like, even your liturgical church growing up didn't really teach you about the real Jesus. it's a masterful delusion.

Yeah. Sticking a big cross in the ground with no context is more likely to just turn people off. Without reaching out and speaking to people there's no connection, no really witnessing.

That kind of witnessing is certainly a lot easier than actually engaging with people, and lower risk than entering into a religious debate where you might not succeed in convincing anyone of anything. Putting a fish on your car is harmless, but if you think that's where you get to stop, then the attitude behind that is pretty lazy and condescending. For all I know, Cris Pratt donates money to charity or something, so whatever.
