We do not get to walk away from them. There are too few of us, especially in places like Alabama for us to ever get away from them. I don't ever feel safe because of them. No I don't go to church with them, but that doesn't stop them from coming to my temple. Sometimes we get Christians who want to come to services and watch our cute little customs, and we let them, because we want to be nice, and welcoming, and at the same time, we lock the doors in case another Christian tries to come in and shoot us with a machine gun while we're all gathered in one place. We can't get away from them.
Oh, if the religious left made enough noise all the time in every way, the media would get on board. It would be conflict and controversy, and that sells. But Evangelicals pride themselves on being loud and spreading the word of the lord. The non-Evangelical Christians need to stop keeping fights within the community in the name of Christian brotherhood and start standing on street corners next to the proselytizers if they must.
