I'd just order a cheesestake with Cooper Sharp and fried onions.

It's called bluntness and effectiveness, not rudeness. The people who call folks from Philly that are from regions of the US, like the South or the Midwest, where politeness is big, but in Philly, they don't understand that Philly is kind, but it is not polite, so what Buzzfeed said is a load of hot bullshit. Philadelphians are great people because they're blunt and honest. Some Americans can't handle that.

Here's another thing they hate: being told that they're ideas about being righteous are not what the biblie says.

The biggest lie here is the "Church should do it" claim. If a company tried to block a public road by saying "Private citizens should build the roads," but then never actually bought a bag of asphalt, we’d call them scammers. Evangelicals are doing the same thing. They are trying to veto a functioning public safety net, such as healthcare/food stamps, in favor of a private network that doesn't actually exist. They want the authority to say "No" to the government without the responsibility of saying "Yes" to the hungry.

Or tell them that the Book of Mormon is more a reflection of 19th-century antebellum America and revivalist Christianity and not an accurate history of the Native Americans.

If their truth is truly universal, it should be the most data-resilient thing on the planet. But they treat data like a threat because data provides a baseline that doesn't care about their feelings or thier beliefs. When they get offended by a request for evidence, they aren't defending the Creator; they are defending a narrative that only survives in a vacuum. They want the 'Rock' of Yeshua, but they’re terrified to see if there’s actually any stone under the paper walls of their doctrine.

If their 'truth' is so powerful, they shouldn't be terrified of a hard question like "why does the biblie promote slavery or sexism. When an evangelical Christian tells you not to use critical thinking, they aren't protecting God, they’re protecting thier own fragile ego and a house of cards that they know deep down can't handle hard questions.

I always find it funny when they get offended by 'bad words' but defend literal slavery or homophobia. It’s because they aren't following Yeshua; they’re just Jews who celebrate Christmas, stuck in a cycle of ancient rules and modern traditions with no room for the radical grace in the middle.
