I'm not arguing in favor of the NAACP or any other group. I am mearly saying that their are very vocal Christian groups who wish to impose on me their morality. Force me to act a certain way.

If the NAACP wants to do something similar I'd be arguing against them too. The original question was, why is Jesus (and Christians) often attacked. My answer is because there is an impression out there that Christians are trying to dictate their moral views on others by FORCE.

Force me to act a certain way.

Absent laws, which are force, what is the "certain" way you speak of?

My answer is because there is an impression out there that Christians are trying to dictate their moral views on others by FORCE.

I agree. And that is often bad.

But realize that in order to have a government at all there must be moral views imposed on people by force. "Government" and "force" are synonyms.

This is why the Christian, taught by Jesus that the most real change is from the heart outwards, has the BEST reason to argue for a minimalist government.

oh wow.

So because some people have a bigotted, false, and stereotyped views of Christians, picking on them for doing what every other part of the political spectrum does (ie advocate for their beliefs in various contexts), the blame lies on Christian heads, not on the anti-Christian zealots?!?

Yeah ... DEFINITELY lay off the pot, man. It's getting to your brain.
