You are a piece of work. This is the most vile and evil statement I can recall you ever making. YOU are not GOD. But you are more than willing to do the coercing, aren't you?
NOWHERE in scripture (and I HAVE read the Bible cover to cover) does God tell MAN to coerce MAN to do good. I challenge you to point out any passage where He says that. So why is it that you COERCERS are so willing to get Government to do GOD'S work and are too damned lazy to do it yourself? To be a WITNESS, that is, for that is what God commanded us to be. NOT TO DO THE COERCING. That is HIS job, not YOURS.
Me ? I was just pointing out FACTS , easily discerned from a careful ( heck, even a not so " careful " ) reading of the BIBLE.
What are the TEN COMMANDMENTS...suggestions ?
What about Jesus' attack on the money changers, in the temple, but force and coercion ?
What were all of those laws, handed out by GOD,in Leviticus and AUTHORITARIANLY used by the rabbis and kings of Israel ?
And the FFs were MORE than willing to use these laws and COMMANDMENTS as the basis for the laws to govern this country.
Instead of having a problem with me, take it up with GOD, as HE is the author; not I. :-)
