It is NOT the Christian's duty to drive sin from the world by force, intimidation, coercion or other force... That is the ideology of ISLAM.

Christianity respects the free will of man, it says inform the sinner of the sin, try to help them repent, but it does not say that it is your duty to force them to comply.

Those that think that it is their duty, are following more the path of Islam than Christianity.

Jesus died for our sins, Mohammed would kill you for yours.

Committing sin against others, in order to coerce or intimidate them into "living right" has nothing to do with the teachings of Christ.

Committing sin against others,

It is NOT a sin to expose anothers sin. If it was, you could close all the courts and lay off all cops for the "sin" of arresting lawbreakers. I'm talking about morality and not legal sin. By your premise, we could expose lawbreakers "sins" either.

Committing sin against others, in order to coerce or intimidate them into "living right" has nothing to do with the teachings of Christ.

Jesus didn't fashion a whip and drive the sellers and moneylenders from His Fathers house? Baldwin objects to this place being near a neighborhood where kids are exposed.

Your concept of dark/light is different than what I understand.

Also, why do you not allow a Christian the free will to protest sin? Protesting is not sinning...maybe you have a different experience than I know about. To me what they are doing makes sense and is not a sin.

Have they done something illegal not referenced in the small part of the article posted?
