It should be, and with "good" christians it is, and what follows holds for ALL religions.
But the Zealots can't help but think that their "god" makes them better than anyone who doesn't follow exactly the same teachings so they have to try to prove their superiority.
THIS IS DESPITE ALL MAJOR RELIGIOUS TEXTS STATING THAT EVERYONE IS EQUAL

It should be only shared among those who hold that interest. People preaching to people when its clearly unwanted is rude and total disrespect on their behalf. Same goes for people who try to push their religion onto others when its unwanted.
Some people get carried away with the whole , they think their god is real and everyone should have to believe in him even if its by force. That and the bible tells them to tell everyone about him. They get carried away with it and lack respect. Most are too lazy to go and start a bible study, or become a minister/preacher or such to tell people "who actually want to hear it" about god. So instead they just try to push their religion on everyone on here. It's quicker for them and they feel that will get them into heaven.
"CcC" is one of those people who tend to be disrespectful and push their religion on others. I don't "need" Jesus! Nor does my life need changed. FYI You don't "know" you "think" if you knew you would not be alive today to tell people.
They think it is their "mission" to do so...well I think its safe to say Mission Impossible, so it's time for them to get over it and grow up and have some respect for other peoples right to not have people push their religion on them

Christians overly express their religion because they don't really believe it either. They hope that in repeating it over and over they might actually believe it.
...or, maybe
For the same reason that sooooooooo many men talk about how hung they are when they are walking around with only 3 or 4 inches; wishful thinking!

Because they are scared that by not doing so it goes against direct orders from Jesus to "go out into the world". Funny thing what fear does to people, sadly it keeps them from questioning their religion and finding true freedom. Reason, logic and rationality are thrown out the window and they somehow convince themselves that despite how awful the hell they believe in is, that their god is still "all" loving.
That is why they are so overly expressive...they are terrified of God no matter how much they've managed to convince themselves that they aren't and so they blindly and willingly obey the biblical command to preach to everyone.

Yes it is a private thing but Christians are not the only religion guilty of it!

each person has the free will and freedom of religion to worship or not as they see fit as long as they do not infringe on the free will and freedom of others. the only other qualification I can personally think of is the laws rules and mores of the culture and society in which one resides must be adhered to as well.

Religion is not a private thing and the bible SAID we should spread the gospel. But to overtly throw it around should not be done and it is said in the bible you should not do that just to flaunt it or be a show off. But it could be because of the passion for their religion or to be one of those convicting christians, but I wouldn't know because I'm catholic. I believe using the term christians is an offense to Jesus becuase who really gets all of his sayings. He aslo told Peter in matthew 16:17-19 start a catholic(greek for universal)church NOT a christian church.

Nope not private. Very much out there. Jesus said to "Go and make disciples over all the earth" - really means tell everyone the Good News of Jesus Christ. That is the mission of the Christians.

they don't have religion for self but for sale so they should do so!!
they get commission for each new customers sorry new believer in Christianity.
why people talking rubbish that Jesus told to do so!!first of all we don't believe Jesus is god so who cares what he has told!
we are talking with common sense not belief!!
this people preach only for money!!Instead of preaching can they give money for needy if they are so much concerned about others!!
Jesus is so selfish to do Good only to people who believe him?then he is not GOD!

I am not sure where this "Private thing" came about other then people do not like to confront each other. If Christianity was a private thing I would still be an Atheist and totally self absorbed and miserable. I'm glad someone was bold enough to tell me about Jesus and show me by the way they lived that they believed it/
GOD bless ya.
