I think the majority of us don't do it, but as you've mentioned, that minority is very loud. And it's frustrating to the rest of us because people tend to generalize when talking about these people. They all put us in the same block when in reality, those groups of people are generally not even the same denomination because there's like more than 100 denominations of Christianity that don't have much to do with one another. Mostly what you hear is the Evangelicals and Baptists. WE are not like! But no one cares. Every time someone mentions the word God or Jesus they immediately think of these people and just brush us off. So we do feel that now, the word Jesus has become a dirty word because of these people. We are not perfect, we are not saints, we're human and I wish the world would stop listening to these people and stop treating all of us as though we were the same. We are not.
