But all you are doing is emphasizing a negative viewpoint. My viewpoint is of love and going to heaven. No force is used and non needed. |

Ester is in the old testament. I ask for examples from the New Testament. Do you believe that one example typifies all Christians? |

I was under the impression that Christians believe that their Jesus was closing of the circle of the Old Testament. He fulfilled a prophecy. Anyway, yes I believe that by the very nature of organized religion, a coercive nature exists in the minds and actions of believers. There is an expectation of a certain result in exchange for behaving in a certain manner. And then of course the negative consequences when a believer cannot live up to requirements. All of this if fine by me and probably does some good, but there is a different perspective found when a person is not moved by or believes in religion. |

He is loved as a person. But I thought you liberals want politics and religion strictly separated. |
