Of course it's tempting to read our own interpretation ino the Bible. But the Gospel reading today gives the impression of someone who tells his disciples to go easy on other people. If they are not interested in what you are saying then head off somewhere else.
There is something gentle and nice about that. There is certainly nothing strident or fanatical about it.
How lucky we are to live in a system that, more or less, allows people to be.
Being trenchant about anything seems unattractive.
How can anyone ever be trenchant when it comes to do with God? Is that not heading towards idolatry?
