There’s the kind of spiritual kickback that comes from putting faith in Jesus, and then there’s the secular annoyance that comes from wanting to “force religion” on a “secular” society.
Christians who are doing the right thing should see the former, not the latter.
I had a very amusing run-in the other day on FR where a certain unbeliever just steamed about the way my Freep page yacks about Jesus.
I grinned, and warned him that he was headed for hell (a fate that I warn about too).
Sputter, sputter, sputter!
Well a few days later this fellow is now commenting about Mike Pence and is sure that Mike Pence can stand up to “gays” in his Christian faith... something appears to have happened. Yeah, he’s still acting like a bit of a jerk, but I think the point got across that Jesus can punch back, and hard! At this point I don’t presume to be a junior Holy Spirit and pester the person... but just pray.
Praying is always the first and best choice in many instances.
God bless you.
