mlsoft,
You are correct. No one can ever be forced to be a "Christian" or a label of any faith. I only wish some of your representatives are intelligent or honest enough to realize that. Especially the Bush administration. But you know exactly what I'm inferring to when I say "shove down my throat".
After some thinking, I realized I wrongfully directed my anger towards you. For that I apologize. My expressed opinion was not meant to disrespect YOUR beliefs, as long as YOUR beliefs don't infringe on my personal rights. My disdain is reserved only to the falsely alleged "Christians". The power hungry, greedy parasites who manipulate religion so that they can exploit the goodness in people, and to control the mass for personal gains.
I genuinely think for the most part, Christianity was meant to ascend humanity. There is much good in what Jesus preached. Unfortunately, fear is Christianity's main intoxicant to solicit believers. Fear of God's retribution, fear of the devil, fear of going to hell. Sadly, for the many dispossessed innocents, they are in hell. Ask the Sudanese that are being murdered without reasons. Ask the Iraqis who watch helplessly as their loved ones being blown to pieces by insurgents or Americans. Ask the New Orleanians who had to witness their parents, their children, dying of thirst, dying of hunger while their president is on vacation. You get my drift. The above injustices are a few of the many reasons why, I simply cannot place my faith in god.... any god.
