Veteran Member: I Share (not Debate) my POV
Where I live, in Europe, Netherlands, it's especially the Evangelicals that do take that approach. Even after I warned the Church I attended, that they should not belittle other's faith, and definitely not put it out on the internet, because soon there might be some ISIS throwing a bomb or whatever for blasphemy, the priest continued doing it.Although it no doubt happens, that tends not to be what happens most of the time though. Even the average Evangelical Protestant doesn't take that approach.
Coincidentally 2 weeks after, there was a bomb thread of ISIS in the Church. At least they took my advice to take the sermons belittling Islam from the internet. This was one of those Mega Baptist Churches with thousands of members. And they all believe this way (the priest assured me; and I believe him, as I heard them declare this [in front of the whole gathering] when they became members; some fixed lines they have to repeat). They even send letters to people practising Reiki, telling them that it is from the Devil. They told me dozens of times.
You are right, that the normal Protestants don't speak it out loud; same here. But I always dig a little deeper. Takes me usually 30 seconds before they admit "this is just what we believe". Once I spoke with an Argentina girl, and asked her "I guess in Argentina the Christians are not like that?". Oh no stvdv, she assured me, here it is just the same. But maybe it's just these 2 countries, that are the exception to the rule.
I hope you are right. I did not check any other countries. I am very open to that positive thought.
