Is it too much to ask people not to use posts like my op here to proselytize? Apparently it is

Chrissy Stroop’s anti-proselytizing principles infographic. Subhead: Prophylactic protection against evangelical aggression. Point one (illustrated with an icon of a church congregation): I am not your mission field. Point two (illustrated with an icon of talking heads on TV): I don’t owe you a debate. Point three (illustrated with an icon of a human head with a question mark inside the brain area): There are no shortcuts to being a good person, least of all “right belief.” Point four (illustrated by an icon of a person waking): Leavers are not a “crisis in the church.” Treat us as humans with moral autonomy. Point five (illustrated with an icon of a man with arms outstretched as if proclaiming something to a crowd): Proselytizing is always objectification. Let people follow their own consciences. Point six (illustrated by an icon of a person from the waist up holding an open book): Our stories are ours. Leavers are not believers’ object lessons.
